One important thing - if you can, switch to Wise or get the +eq artifact. It looks like you have the l3 rune for scythe (3.44 slashes), but are whispering at neutral 3.75 equilibrium, making that rune mostly ineffective.
Don't use invoke unless you haven't coded a proper ritual tracker yet (failsafes, all that fun) - invoked bloodmeld has a 3s channeling time and its duration is reduced.
The affliction selecting looks solid, I do the same. You may want to…
Y'know, comments like "I didn't vote because I was away" feel a bit too suspicious for my liking. As such, unless a better candidate is presented, I think I'll
