Yeah, Venthyr was my first choice as it was, all things being equal or at least remotely similar. I'm actually relieved that the stark contrast between an amazing ability and the complete lack of one (the long gone and completely unlamented Slaughter) isn't going to force me to pick Necrolords.
The Torghast power I saw that makes the Kyrian ability act as if 20 combo points were used instead of 7 seems like fun, but I certainly wouldn't use that stupid ability full time for one silly trait in one aspect of gameplay. That's kind of why I'm also not going Night Fae - I play way too much solo and outdoor world content for that vanish to not ruin my questing/farming multiple times a day.
