"Draw essence from an enemy" means that proc create a rune close to enemy. Run onto it to activate "heals you 4300 Health, restores Stamina and increases your damage by 12% for 10 seconds". imho NOT viable to ranged characters.

I solely have a stamblade and I've ran WGT probably about 80 times. I have just about a full set of every other gear, with many multiples, except I don't have a single piece of Essence Thief. Am I missing something?
Can u get this set from the chests in white gold tower?
