Believe it or not, I do pretty well with Vladimir. Sometimes I do well, sometimes I don't. The reccommended items for Vladimir is very off. I go for a ruby crystal as my starting item. Build that into Spirit Visage and buy sorc shoes. Go for Will of the Ancients followed by Rylai's, Rabadon's and Sunfire cape to top it off. By the time I get rylais I regen 200+ hp on a transfusion, which is a 3 second spell. Vlad is supposed to be a tanky fighter that heals while doing damage, and you should buy magic resist because his base won't do much(hence the need for spirit visage). Me and a Fizz were dominating the enemy team(We won a 2v4 fight thanks to my ult). Ended the game 13-5-18 with this build. For skills max out transfusion then Sanguine pool and tides of blood last. On masteries I go 10-0-20. Taking the standard cd reduction,flat ap and mpen offensive, improved offence spells while in utillity I take time dead, reduced recall,move speed, all gold related masteries, spell vamp and cooldown reductions.
