Grukli and virulent ring

[GabrielBG]

Grukli applies poison to himself with this ring and the only item who leaves you imunne to poison is hydra egg which you only get from hydra so a good fix to this would be make transfusion also transfer the poison which makes sense to me even if you have to raise its rarity.

I really do not see the appeal to be honest. Unless you draw Transfusion and use it, you will be taking extra damage, if that is your only cleanse.
If you just want to avoid the poison stacks, you have a lot of reliable ways to do so.

You could make yourself immune to bleed or immune to poison. There are various spells that turn poison into other effects. Or you could apply regular buffer and dispels. Or get an armor that dispels it constantly(or redirect it to the enemy), an accessory that dispels every round or a pet that that dispels every round.

with grukli you want to make use of your bleed stacks so dispel is not an option and bloodguard which makes you immune is not an option too, you would need a hydra egg or have a healer have turn poison into water every round and have the healer play before grukli, perhaps the best way would be make virulent ring only apply the poison stacks to your enemy.and transfunsion also tranfer poisonmakes total sense to me even if you have to nerf the card with cost 10 hp or something like that

You dont have to make use of your own Bleedstacks. That is a specific build choice if you intend to use Transfusion, Blood for Blood and Burning Blood.

For such a build, you should obviously not go for the Virulent Ring, unless you have the means to negate the poison reliably or easily absorb the damage(like mass Vitality).
Especially because there are Rings that are still good on such builds, with not nearly the same amount of drawbacks(like Fervent Ring).

If you still want to use the Virulent Ring for a build, consider getting the Fury perk upgrade(requires rank 30) so that it no longer applies bleed to you. This will lower the damage bonus to just +1%, but it allows you to easily stack Fury for Furious Slash.
Or you can just let the poison come, and then use the Priest combo of Dilute+Baptism to get a lot of Bless on Grukli.

Most bleed builds relies on multiple smaller attacks(or Whirlwind) to stack bleed on enemies, then use Bleed Out and Bloodbath to finish them off.

A different issue entirely is, if Transfusion could potentially transfer f.ex. 50 Bleed and 50 Poison to enemies constantly(either self-inflicted or from enemies), it would be way too good for the cost. When you end up with 300+ health, a 10 HP cost is nothing.
