Spirit paths/Helm/Crimsoncrown

Crimsoncrown is one of two paths an Awakened helm can take toward Blood. A tactician's crown: recovery and ward with a late blood spike.

Infusion starts it at +4% Cooldown Recovery, and by Spirit Level 5 it reads +17% Cooldown Recovery, +197 Ward and +14% Blood Damage.

From Spirit Level 3 the gear starts firing Reaper's Draught on its own — Kills restore 8% of your maximum health. — the same thing Reaper's Draught does from a relic.

Blood builds around Bleed and the Exsanguinate payoff.
