I only unlocked Vampire a week or two ago. Good thing I did. I might've derped this if I hadn't practiced the class before and knew how cows worked.
I used the popular pro build, I found out after the fact. Balanced Dagger is nice because you don't want to take a lot of damage or use up pools while leveling up. You will lose some popcorn, but really it's the level 5-7 low-damage stuff that you really want to save. Vamp blade is one of those times where MOAR OF THE SAME THING is actually good, but of course the Platemail in the store was the star player. Venom Dagger was a bit of nice conversion fodder. ENDISWAL was sort of useful, but I converted it as soon as I knew where the bosses were and I knew that I didn't need it to tank a single hit. Fireball prep for safety, and because it was up against a god (literally useless) and... something else, almost as useless perhaps, but I forget.
Patches might have been fun, but other stuff was on the table and I wasn't there for shenanigans, and I didn't really want a chance of a bad teleport.
I was able to kill the last boss at 8 using a lot of potions but with a lot of blood pools left over. Kind of close, though. I would have only gotten a few more hits in, maybe 5 or 6 with a little lifesteal, or possibly more than that if I healed my cows and tried to out-heal the boss (but that may have failed)
