In Diablo 4’s Vessel of Hatred update, several powerful Uniques were introduced, including the coveted Wound Drinker ring. This Unique Poison Ring is highly sought after by Spiritborn players, offering excellent Poison Resistance and synergy with Thorns builds. Here’s how to obtain the Wound Drinker ring and which builds can make the best use of it.
Where to Get the Wound Drinker Unique Ring
Wound Drinker can drop from any activity once you hit Level 60 and Torment 1 Difficulty, but the drop rate is quite low. To increase your chances of finding this ring, focus on activities known to yield more Uniques:
- Lair Bosses
- Nightmare Dungeons
- Dark Citadel Caches
- Helltide Chests of Mystery
The Demon and Ghost monster families are more likely to drop Wound Drinker, so prioritize dungeons filled with these enemies to improve your odds.
Target Farming Wound Drinker
While you may encounter Wound Drinker by completing various endgame activities, the most effective way to target farm this ring is by defeating Beast in the Ice. Stick to the standard version of the fight, as it provides more drop chances without using extra resources.
Wound Drinker Unique Ring Affixes and Effects
| Item | Slot | Affixes |
|---|---|---|
| Wound Drinker | Unique Ring | +[4.2–37.5]% Poison Resistance +[2–130] Armor +[10–373] Thorns +[5–9] Damage Reduction from Poisoned Enemies +[1–3] Toxic Skin (Spiritborn only) Every time you deal Thorns Damage, gain [1–7] Vigor, and Toxic Skin’s Passive Effect |
Builds That Use Wound Drinker
Wound Drinker shines in builds focused on Poison and Thorns damage. Some popular Spiritborn builds that benefit from this ring include:
- Stinger Centipede Spiritborn
- Touch of Death Centipede Spiritborn
- Rake Thorns Spiritborn
- Rock Splitter Gorilla Thorns Spiritborn
If using Wound Drinker in a Thorns build, try to maximize the Thorns affix for even greater damage potential.
