Suggestion for vampire: Blood Reserve Stack

fxeconomisteb17_ESO

This would be applicable only to stage 4 vampires. And that is, gain a stack at every use of Feed.

At every two hours, instead of the stage going down, the stack will go down. When the stack is depleted, that's when it begins to lower the stage.

This would allow you to load your stack first, preying on several victims, and then you'll have more time in stage 4.

What do you think about this ?

Lets just leave it as is since it won't be super extra punishing if they suddenly have to lower their stage for whatever reason (PVP, Trials, Dungeons, roles other than DPS, etc.) Imagine being out in the field and having to purge X number of stacks with that many Maras....

I found a way to make it interesting at stage 4, I would be more concerned to have it going to stage 3 in something nasty.
But then, they could make the stage lowering mechanism - Purified Mara (don't know how it sounds) - or the craftable Basin of Loss to reset to 0 the entire stack.

Not something needed. I'm going to be one shotting NPCs left and right with feed just like I used to do with blade of woe. Like 1 stage every 4 hours is simplicity maintaining.

Now, if these blood stacks did something else interesting like buff the vampire in some way, so that only vampires playing stage 4 vampire would benefit from it, then I'd be game.

Imagine now that vamp costs are so small or able to be brought down with other things, that you're be stronger at stage 1 so you don't have the 20% normal ability increased cost, but get all the benefits of the vampire except for a few passives that won't make or break you in group setting.

If this blood stack from continued feeding gave some of buff to empower the vampire, that would be worth having. Like how killing someone with blade of woe gives that kill speed buff. But something maybe a little longer lasting.
