TLDR:

For PvE
-it's the only really worth burial gift. It will be useful early game, until you fill up the ring slots and need to free it up. It might still have its use if you run a tanky high vigor build, but it becomes underwhelming mid game.
If you get to your third run and still can spare the slot for 10% HP then it can be a permanent fixture, but you're likely to find yourself really wanting to free up the slot.

For PvP the story is totally different. And most advice in this wiki's comment sections seem to focus mostly on pvp

Life ring is not bad at all. Prisoners Chain, Ring of Favor and Life Ring+3 stacks multiplicatively with an Ember. Which can get you to 1800 health with a free offensive ring slot for something like hornet rong

This is niche but it works well in duels where you cannot Estus. also if you combine it with Prisoners Chain and Ring of Favor+3 this Life Ring becomes 12.5% more health. This gives you roughly as much healyh as the embered host,

This ring is not just 10% more HP. Its 10% more accuracy to not overheal with estus in PVP and get more bang for your bucks since staying max health is important.

Overhealing is a bad thing. Your Total HP is all of your Estus, your health bar is just a buffer: 95% of your health is in those flasks if you start to only use 3/4 of a flask you are burning flasks. You want to hit over 90% but not 100% or if you hit 100% you don’t want to waste more than 50 health.total HP.

If only it were +15% HP like it is in Dark Souls 2, it would be more useful.

This is still very useful for invasions or duels where your health is lower than the health of the host. If you have prisoners chain and ring of favor +3 then it becomes like 12% if you have an Ember on top of that then it becomes like a 15% bonus and you still have an open ring slot this is underrated12.5% boost if

Nobody should use this ring and here's why. Assuming your vigor is 36 (decent vigor for 125 meta SL) and assuming you're wearing the Ring of Favor +3 (which you almost certainly would be if you're planning on wearing Life Ring since RoF is much better), you'll have 1226 HP. Equipping Life Ring +3 on top of that gives you 1329 HP, an addition of 123 HP. If all you're looking for is to add more HP to your build, you're much better off just using the Sun Princess Ring instead, which regenerates 2 HP/second. That means you only need to spend 62 seconds without max HP to benefit more from Sun Princess Ring. If you DON'T spent at least 62 seconds at less than full health, that either means that you spent a lot of time in the battle at full HP, which you didn't need any help to begin with from Life Ring or you died too quickly, which mean the Life Ring probably wouldn't have help either. Sun Princess Ring could add significantly more HP to your pool depending on how much time you spent without full HP. Also, Sun Princess Ring can be swapped anytime without having to worry about losing its benefits. Unlike Life Ring, which if you take off and later put back on doesn't add the HP back. Sun Princess Ring also helps you not die to a throwing knives or chip damage if your Tears of Denial pop. Life Ring is outclassed by Sun Princess Ring and Ring of Favor. It's even outclassed by Estus Ring, too, if you plan on chugging. Also, it's just kind of boring. It just adds a flat 10% to your HP? *yawn* Don't use it.

Well true yet you dont need sun princess ring at full health so I would equip life ring at the start of the match and switch it to sun princess ring after i got hit once. Remove the life ring after the first hit removes some of the empty health bar so basically means less damage from first attack, and you dont really lose anything. So ai would still recommend to wear one at the start of the match.

Equip life ring -> Get hit -> Swap to sun princess.

I can see it in use for btsr and rtsr since the 30% would be higher.

You're missing the part where 10% help you survive more damage at once and improve your healing efficiency.

Most duels last around 20s or less after the first hit giving you 40hp from princess ring. The life ring is over three times as effective for duels, without a hot swap. For invasions, the estus is your health pool, and your hp a buffer. Estus ring is king there. As for pve, the steel plate, estus, princess, and evil eye rings all have good utility.
