Change Zhonya's Ring out for Zhonya's Hourglass, due to Zhonya's Ring no longer available.
I tried the build and had success with it 15/3/10 and 8/0/12 don't know why people are downvoting
Thank you :-)
Nevertheless, it seems correct that a second deathcap would we better excahnged for Z. Ring.
I've seen way better builds. The summoner spell "Flash" is unneeded, as you already have an escape, which is his Sanguine Pool. You should rather put Ghost.
This build is also based if you're lucky (and skilled) enough to gain your stacks and keep them. Soulstealer is such an unreliable item, that I suggest starting with the Amplifying Tome and a health potion, and immediately start building Rebadon's Deathcap. Yes, I know, Amplifying Tome doesn't build into Deathcap, but the extra 20+ AP will help, and since you'll be building Crystal Scepter, there's already a shortcut for you. You should be playing mid with Vladimir, and because his Transfusion costs nothing, spam it. You won't have to leave the lane if you're smart with it. Dive for the life-steal, and get out.
With Sorcerer's Shoes, you are still unkindly slow to almost every other champion. In my build, I normally ditch the magic penetration, and go with the speed. Boots of Swiftness will bump his movement up to 400+, and with Transfusion being maxed, the cooldown is 2 seconds, therefore you can run in and run out spamming it like a madman.
Then I'd continue building Rylai's Scepter and on to Lich Bane, while throwing in a Warmog's if your team is squishy
About this:
- Most of the champions you are aiming for Vladimir have a value of MR from 30 to 40. It means 15% of this will be taken leaving them with 26/34 MR. Then thanks to Runes which give you 8 MPen and Boots it will be 28(34 with MPen Quints) leaving you able to go straight AP and nuke squishes with your skills for true damage, Teemo dies like in 2 Transfusions and 1 Tides of Blood at 1st stack.
- Movement Speed is a **** on Vladimir. If you really want it, take Force of Nature, it will buff you in all ways you could wish for along with Movement Speed.
- 2 seconds on Transfusion? With 33% CD Reduction...
Buying a second deathcap is kind of useless. The 30% bonus stacks once, so you should use the extra item slot for something more useful.
This is the thing I could never understand. Which item?
Warmog? For mere HP which you will gain from another Rabadon and Rylai?
Going for a second Rabadon after Rylai/Defense Item is for the win, thanks to it you will get over 200 AP instead of 155 thanks to the 1st Rabadon Passive... people really underestimate this way of building Vlad.

Thanks for your comment. I personally do not like Lich Bane in Vladi builds. For me the stacking thing works great. Of course, if you can not kill people, you have to choose another way. But then I normally more likely use an armor than abother AP item. Warmog's for example.
