While I still haven't gotten the Blooddrinker drop on live to verify myself, multiple people have now confirmed to me that the lifesteal no longer works off of DoTs or persistent AoE. This makes the artifact significantly weaker and takes away pretty much any unique use case it had. The base damage aspect still applies, but that by itself isn't valuable enough imo.

I farmed this ring and so far the damage penalty has felt quite substantial. Was using it with a GA, a spear and a bow and the damage penalty was massive to the point I took the ring off. Just wasn't worth the heals vs the damage loss. I am sure it will be good for some things but it won't be as game breaking as some people thing.

Video Request: Im sure a lot of people are currently trying to get their hands on Amulets with 15% xxx Protection depending on what Mutation they are running. Since the 50% Resi Cap doesnt seem to apply, when you surpass it with Gems (speedrunners say), having an amulet + maxing out the Resistances with Gems is huge for survivability in M3s. I got my hands already on the Amulet for Fire Resistance that you can get with Dense Empyrian Forge Materia. I need Empowered on my amulet as well, which makes it really hard to get cheap pieces. You can get Nature Protection on a different Amulet via Dense Materia, but it doesnt have empowered. Maybe I just need to buy expensive pieces anyways, but I will look through the DB for some pieces I might be able to farm myself, that can roll Empowered on it as well.

Funny enough, 4dps 1heal setup is not actually that bad if you can out dps most of dungeon mechanics and with this ring it wouldnt be surprising to run 5 self sustained DPS for dungeons now. The tank and heal role may actually become even less important. Also I can already see meme builds going into OutpostRush, specially with flail tank where flail will heal 5% hp on block + this rin and stacked selfheal from DMG perks😅

I think the issue is the over abundance of healing and under abundance of anti-healing options. Buff plagued strikes/crits to 50% so we can counter healers.
