Ring build video. Today I'm going to be

showing you my vampiric build, which

focuses on attacking the enemy and also

healing yourself at the same time. So with

this build, basically you don't even need

to use health potions anymore because you

just recharge your own HP so rapidly and

so often that it makes carrying health

potions kind of unnecessary, and you can

just focus on carrying mana potions so

that you refill your mana so you can

always use this special ability that I'm

going to introduce you to. Okay, so the

special ability is called Taker's Flame,

and it's from this weapon called

Blasphemous Blade, which you get from the

Volcano Manor main boss. Called Lord

Rykard. He's this serpent snake boss, and

if you're looking for a weapon that heals

you after defeating enemies, then this

really is the ultimate weapon. So first of

all, every time you defeat an enemy, it

heals you for 6.5% of your health, and

when you use the ability Taker's Flames,

it heals you for 20% of your health. So

the healing capabilities for this weapon

are just insane. So like I mentioned

earlier, you do have to travel quite far

up north into the map until you get to

Volcano Manor. And this is quite a

high-level area, so you won't be able to

get this weapon early on in the game

unless you're really, really good. And

there's a few important talismans that we

can use to boost the healing capabilities

of this playstyle even further. So first

of all, we have the Assassin's Cerulean

Dagger, which restores FP upon critical

hits. Very important because Taker's Flame

uses quite a lot of FP points. And you

might not have many FP points and you

might have to keep relying on mana pots,

which is quite annoying. So it's good to

have that. And then we have Godskin

Swaddling Cloth, which restores HP upon

successive attacks. So every time you do a

kind of like a combo attack, you'll start

to regenerate HP. And Assassin's Crimson

Dagger restores HP upon critical attacks.

And then finally we have Taker's Cameo,

which restores HP upon defeating enemies.

So with all these talismans, you're going

to be regenerating a lot of HP. When you

attack enemies and also when you defeat

enemies and also when you use Taker's

Flame. Another weapon that's quite good if

you want to do healing from attacks is the

Ashes of War Lifesteal Fist. And this can

only be used on kind of fisted weapons

like the claws and the kind of spiked

fisted weapons. And basically you just

kind of charge up this attack that

grapples the enemy and stabs them and then

restores quite a lot of health back to

you. So yeah, that's a pretty fun weapon

to play around with as well. Kind of gives

you this Wolverine sort of playstyle. Now

it does take quite a long time to charge

up this ability, and if you miss, it can

be a bit frustrating. You've got to charge

it up again, and it does leave you a bit

vulnerable whilst it's charging up. You

might get hit during it. As for the

location of the talismans, the first one,

Assassin's Cerulean Dagger, can be found

in the Black Knife Catacombs. Assassin's

Crimson Dagger can be found in the

beginning area, slightly to the north, in

Deathtouched Catacombs. The Godskin

Swaddlecloth can be found all the way in

the snowy area in a cave called

Spiritcaller Cave, and then you have to

fight a pair of bosses and they drop that.

And then finally, Taker's Cameo is also

found at Volcano Manor. There's a side

quest where you can pick up a bunch of

letters from an NPC and they'll send you

to go and hunt some targets. And after

you've hunted about 3 of them, you'll get

Taker's Cameo as a reward. And when it

comes to fighting bosses, it's quite

useful as well if you have some kind of

tanky summon that can distracts the boss

away from you, then you can just spam

Taker's Flames and heal yourself whilst

also dealing pretty good damage. So that's

all I have to say about this vampiric

build and playstyle. Hope you found it

useful, and goodbye.
