    WW is low risk/low reward Vamp is high risk/high reward. Being cooler is subjective, if you like a higher risk than Vamp is the way to go!
    Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.

    How so? They both are weak VS fighter guild abilities, and both have a 50% weakness to an element. Vampire just has more useful/powerful skills, under most circumstances.

    because
    WW is an activated ability/Vamp is constant
    Vamps you have to feed or you get massive debuffs
    Poison Abilites < Fire Abilites
    All undead buffs/debuffs work on vamps all the time
    Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.

    Who would want a low risk/low reward?
    Thats equivalent to desiring inferiority.

    No, the Werewolf needs to be just as awesome as the Vampire, or else they'll just be Food for the far Superior Undead Overlords.

    as a healer I am sick and tired of finding groups of 3 vampires. It is a LOT more difficult to heal them on certain bosses. Sometimes they get one shot by fire and LITERALLY wonder why. (must be the healer)

    Seems like 90% of the playerbase are vampires now. Werewolves are only bad because of some bugs right now but they are much less of a pain in the ass to heal

    And for those reasons is why you will see alot of people getting cured. Its the flavor of the month right now but will balance out in short order when people get tired of dying so quickly.

    I'm starting to get tired of how no one knows how to use vampirism and automatically say it's a disadvantage to be one.

    Learn the class. After I was bitten I've been much better in combat, rarely die, and the fire resist does absolutely nothing to me due to Drain Essence, Mist Form, and Bat Swarm. Or get a fire resist glyph to balance it to.

    If anything, vampirism is getting more popular due to all the passive advantages it gives over becoming a werewolf.

    Werewolf is bugged at the moment, from my understanding. I wouldn't want to become a vampire due to the fire weakness as fire is one of THE most common damage types in the game. I mean, like every second or third humanoid mob hits you with some kind of fire.

    Now, as a Dragon Knight with points invested in fighter's guild passives, I wouldn't mind facing Vampires in the PvP zone. Fire + bonus damage to Undead for the other passives? I'm okay with that...
  • lyndsayporterb16_ESO
    People love to say werewolves/vampires will get their asses handed to them in PvP or PvE, not realizing that good players will be good players regardless of the classes they choose, and I'm pretty sure ZoS is going to do some overhauling (they better anyway) with the vampire and werewolf skill trees... so I'mma stick it out as a bug infested wolf for a little while longer. I don't really see the point in PvPing anyway till I've hit endgame, especially considering it's an utter *** atm, and most of the veteran players are mages who spam the same crap over and over.
  • nexmilitis
    As a player who hasn't decided which route to go (vamp or ww) but knows they want to go down one of the path. What are the largest pros/cons for each skill line?

    Also, what is the best we to get bitten for each line?
    This is where an image would be if I were allowed to have an image in my signature...

    I have to give a credit to AD pack of Vampires with VR10 Night Mistress leading them (seriously VR10 10 days after the official release?).

    Night Mistress - v12 Former Empress Sorcerer AD
