Hey this is my first build on Mobafire ever so just bare with me....yes I use this build for Vladimir. HE is my favorite character right now so I decided to share my pwnage with you guys.

(Introduction to Vladimir) Vladimir is a mage who uses health as mana but most of his attacks allow him to heal....this allows him to stay in lane longer which also allows him to lvl faster then most other champions.

(The tips) You can mess around with the build a little bit if you feel like it..but be aware that the deathcaps' (item) will give the most AP and an additional 30% AP also...also be aware that your AP turns into health and your health turns into AP (only with items).
Also another tip it that you want to use your ignite spell as quickly as possible so then you get that extra 10 AP(see the Mastery Tree in Offense).
Since the cooldown of Vladimirs Transfusion attack is 2 seconds and has no cost you want to lvl that up first and yes you can spam that attack (use it to farm minions, last hit, or can be used for jungleing (not tell your a higher lvl))..xD

(health n' stuff) Vladimir is a great healer I can stay in lane until lvl 16 and all the other players will be like 11 or 12 because I have the power to HEAL. Make sure to keep Vladimir at a decent health and try not to use your "tides of blood" spell to much..same with your "sanguine pool" spell.

I choose heal and ignite because heal is definitely for Vladimir because everything is based around his health, and ignite for the extra 10 AP in the begging, having high AP at the beginning of the game is key to winning...because it helps to heal more and to do more damage at a low lvl.

Since this item build is so pricey I tend to not finish it (because we already won xD)...So feel free to customize the build a little as I have said before.

In the Item Order you will turn the boots into boots of swiftness...and the potions really help in early game so make sure to use them.

Vladimir's unique skill it to stay in lane for a very long time, this helps to lvl and to get money.

The pros are you do massive damage...
also you don't have to worry about your mana, but you will have to worry about you health though.


The cons are you do not have as much healths as many other Vladimir builds...but you sure can take a tank out..no problem because of your high hits and spamming of your transfusion spell.

For farming I just use tides of blood a lot and make sure to heal after.
