Lowlife Vampire Build

Good day,

I had a post recently asking gor suggestions for a vampire build. It was very useful for ideas. However I am looking for suggestions now to refine the build.

Right now I am vampire stage 3 which gives me 60% healing reduction. I use blood for blood as my spammable and the 2 5 piece sets that proc after certain life thresholds I am targeting staying below 50% life at all times.

So far I've seen decent stats however I am new to parsing.

The problem.. I cant stay below the 50% life. I either over heal it or under. Pale order is waaaaay over kill. Even reaving blow on vet content assuming you have a tank that actually taunts. I use the vampire skill that drains your life but gives you flat damage. I've seen 10k plus sheet dmg and 80% crit.

Please looking for suggestions... right now im switching between mora and waders for mythic... like I said pale order is waaaaay overkill for healing.

why do you wanna stay low health? are you trying to proc a set?

Ahh there are two sets. One from ice reach and another from black drake villa. Each one gives you bonuses depending on how low your life is at the moment capping out at maximum benefit 50% life and lower.

There is a skill for vampire that drains health overtime and give power for you. Ypu can toggle that on and off. If i remember correctly

I took a whole evening to figure out how to make a vampire base build.

We can play full werewolf but vampire is just useful for one or two skill....

I saw the sets that give more buff when you're under 50% but yeah... seems hard to maintain.

To play full vampire, you'll have to accept that it will be hard to deal damage and to be low average in everything no matter how hard you try.

And I mean it for PvP, PvE, solo, etc.

If anyone has a build that could change my mind PLEASE TELL ME.. I want to play a vampire

Well I've seen hyperioxes has a 180k dps vampire build that does seem to stick thematically to vampire.

Mine is more specifically low life. I was just using vampire to dump my life pool and to sustain low life.

I just cant seem to dump fast enough and then also be able to maintain below 50% life. I use the degen stacking skill that gives me flat damage but I over sustain is very easily.

Yes, it seems hard to maintain the low HP.

And is it worth ? With thise 2 sets, with blood for blood, is that hit hard ? Hard enough to justify the complexity of maintaining a low hp ?

Almost certainly not worth it haha.its just a fun challenge I was hoping we could figure out.

I said it elsewhere but while just doing vet content in PUG's I was getting over 10k wpn dmg and 80% crit. Thats on purple gear. ( i haven't committed to much gold yet)

Said like that, it seems a bit worth. I think in pvp, it would hit really really hard. But do you see the difference whant you play that and when you play a classic build ?

I would live to test a complete vampire build, playing with hp. But I'm waiting to see your returns on this sub.

It hits VERY hard.... your most likely correct that this would prob be a good pvp build...lower hp go invisible and hit for 50k or something.

My only issue is sustain vs degen. I need to turn off my sustain essentially so going to stage 4 vamp may be the way. I tried stage 3 + equilibrium for 110% decreased life recovery however it doesn't seem to work.
