Vampire Ice Elementalist

[joelsdaman1]

First time trying this build. Any tips? I want a good vampire caster, figured IE is the most fun. I'm gonna be bloodless most of the time. Bearing that in mind, has anyone ascended with it and can help a relatively lousy player?

Haven't ascended one, but I've played a number (though not IE specifically.) If you're planning on staying bloodless (why?) you'll want to make sure you have the healing aspect covered - which probably means either Mahkleb (probably) or Kiku (if you don't mind corpse delivery --> drain [non-bloodless for a bit] --> wait.)

Note that if you just want hungerless casting, mummies are more straightforward (though they have their own quirks.)

Buffed stealth, resistances, speed. I think bloodless is a major advantage. And I'm going for Sif Muna. It's tough, I know.

Bloodless is not really much of an advantage unless you're stabbing.

Anyway I would recommend Kiku, especially if you plan to stay bloodless/nearly so, since Kiku has a 50% chance of giving you regen spell (so you can heal at near bloodless) and also will give you blood, and also simulacrum is super good.
