What class has the best drainlike skills?

I lost all hope when my nl lost its drain skill and avenger mobbing move. I played when there was a surplus of chief bandits in 2006 blowing up etc items in place of mesos to mass lvl (thus hacking) at gobies/squids in aqua. But I really like the concept of jobs that have drain skills ever since my nl. What fits it?

[quote=SilverFoxR]I'm going to go with Aran, since they have more than just HP drain ability going for them. They have Body Pressure, which, if you run into an enemy, they can no longer do touch damage to you (and take a significant bit of damage). So, even when you get up close and are draining HP from enemies, they can only touch you one time each before you're invulnerable to their touch damage.[/quote]

I think they changed it or it's glitched right now because body pressure dmg monster without making my aran being hit.

I think all of demon avengers attacks steal life The exception is that when you go into exceed you start to lose hp instead, however nether shield always drains life (its really nice to use when you're seduced or stunned as the shields keep attacking and healing you)

Dark Knights, 20% chance to convert 10% dmg to HP, their hyper "Dark Thirst" is 100% lifesteal for 30 seconds. Sacrifice also gives you 100% HP back o.o
Battle Mages also has drain got no idea how it works since I don't even play mages
Aran has drain (Combo Drain) but it's a buff not passively sadly.

@betterdayys Night Walker has a pretty strong drain for me. You automatically summon 1 bat every 3 skill uses, and after they're out, the bats have a 45% chance of attacking with each skill use. Which is pretty often given the attack speed of NW's. Also the clones can trigger the bats as well, so if you use the 170 hyper that gives you 3 clones, the amount of bats being triggered is noticeably higher. Anyway, once you max all of the passives from each job advance, it takes 30% of your damage as HP healing, but it says it won't heal beyond 10% of your max HP (It seems like it's higher than 10% now though, I'm guessing the passives increased that limit, but I'm not sure by how much).

To put it in perspective, If I fight a boss that does %hp damage like Gollux or Magnus, I can heal my HP back up so that the next attack won't kill me. And the heal is strong enough that I can keep that going indefinitely, until I get hit 2 times consecutively or I get stunned and therefor can't trigger bats. Which makes it really unfair for our opponents in Boss Arena. I can literally go a whole match in there with 0 deaths if they don't realize they have to either stun or 1shot me to actually kill me lol.

[quote=SoulStreak]DrK and battle mage. If you want this drain to keep you alive indefinitely than these 2. I recommend BaM as it's basicly a 50% hp heal every attack. DrK has a 20% proc rate but their hp is so high it's more than enough. These 2 also have enough health where they aren't reliant on it to stay alive like aran ( also a good choice). Both DrK and BaM are pretty high on damage and easy to level aswell.[/quote]

The other nice thing with BaMs are they have high def. my 140 BaM with full Empress has ~9200 phys def and 9999 magic def

im surprised nobody said DrK. 20% chance to convert 10% dmg to HP (capped at a certain point). my Dark Impale gives me about 7-13k hp hitting 7m a line

You could always play Bishop, no need to drain.
