1-100 Vampire Leveling & Endgame Blood

Utilize Overpower and destroy everything around you with the new Vampiric Power Blood Boil and stacking all of the juicy overpower goodies from the paragon board.

Ability Rotation:

1. Open with Decrepify
2. Spam Blood Surge, watching the number on the icon to hit "5" as that is your auto-Overpower.
3. Cast Corpse Tendrils after some deaths to vuln, stun, and immobilize things for a juicy overpowered attack.
4. Rathma's Vigor Stacks

• • Use Blood Wave on a larger group
  • Use Blood Mist on a single target boss/elite

6. Reap is used to help generate corpses and it doesn't consume Rathma's so you can use it as a form of passive damage.
7. Blood Mist is a great CC breaker, single target DPS, or corpse generating ability. Try and overpower it for single target damage to really melt bosses/elites.

Boss Rotation:
The same, but just use Blood Mist to help generate damage for you that you can wombo-combo into Tendrils for more Damage. Spam Reap to help generate corpses as well.

This is a very straightforward, but extremely tanky build where you will soak up a ton of a damage and be constantly topped off in health because of the excessive amount of Fortify and Blood Orbs.

This was my primary build in pre-season 1 and it has only gotten MUCH stronger since the start of the game to now. With the increase to Overpower, we rely on being very heavily fortified via Aspects, Paragon Points, and Skills. Fortify increases our Overpower damage significantly.

Overpower is the name of the game with this build. So, we're relying on Rathma's Vigor, the innate Blood Surge, and Blood Boil as our guaranteed sources of Overpower. Reap does not eat your Rathma Stacks, so you can use that in lieu of a Blood ability to help do damage if you're near 12 stacks and don't want to risk it

Since this build drops tons of Blood Orbs we will lean heavier into buffing those via Paragon and Aspects - or even increase the chances of orbs dropping via corpses.

You'll be able to sit in the center of tons of damage and not have to worry, while simultaneously exploding everything around you. Boss clearing is a bit slower, but you just have to work the rotation to keep your essence up!

Paragon Board & Glyphs

Glyph Priority (to level 15):
Control > Dominate > Territorial > Sacrificial > Blood-Drinker

• Paragon Board order is listed in the Node section
• Get your Legendary Nodes AFTER you've acquired all of your Glyph Sockets
• Blood Drink can be moved up in priority if you find yourself having issues with survival! This turns your Blood Orbs into Fortify batteries!

Leveling

This build is intended for the endgame, but can level just as easily.

I'd suggest my leveling build version of this that uses a golem (not as optimized, but a bit more fun):

Gear Progression

Gear for this is straight forward as it isn't reliant on any uniques, BUT you have some big focuses:

• Grasping Veins on an Amulet ASAP as the 150% bonus will drastically spike our damage.
• Blood-bathed is going to allow us to get more casts of Blood Surge per nova, and with a max roll on this, it'll still do respectable damage
• Tidal will give us 2 more waves of Blood Wave with cascading damage, but the big thing is that it will spawn 9 Blood Orbs that'll give us plenty of damage and fortify.
