Just fight or die trying. Especially when people can join mid match. The penalty exists for a reason and you perfectly explained the reason. Either stick around for the whole match or don't que up at all. Also if you do have a problem with DK's then thats on you for not knowing how to counter them (stun+ranged). Also since DKs are legit just fire use fire resistance enchantments on jewelry and dont be a vampire.

If the vamp rework doesnt have lifesteal mechanics, im gonna be upset. Kinda crazy live vampire has more ways to get itself killed than to feed off its enemies when outnumbered.

At the very least vamp ult needs to be functionally viable. In pvp when you pop vamp ult and get stuck in the transformation animation it gives people a good 1-2s head start just walking away from you, wasting half your ult. Then even if you are up close the damage and healing is SUBSTANTIALLY worse than if you were to just run a max health necro goliath......So why not just do that and have a better lower cost ult with no drastic negative effects?

Old mistform toggle was better than the current mistform while being highly unique.

The vamp drain would be cooler if it was not a channel and was more of a tether lifesteal dot up to 10m or something.

Blood for blood designs seem fine for a spammable

Honestly I think mesmerize would be a good use for the charm effect. Where instead of like the warden charm its a full fledged skill which requires you to be standing at the center of attention in the thick of it actively casting the skill which only does charm.

fury would be ok if vamp had more lifesteal in it to make it combat feasible other than ganking.

Passive wise, ALL the passives should be based on vamp stages. Undeath for example should be 5/10/15/20% for the vamp stages. A lifesteal passive should follow the same 5/10/15/20% giving you baked in pale order. An outside healing received debuff would follow 5/10/15/20%.......its a vampire cmon atleast give it some lifesteal concepts.

Agree. This has been asked for many times. Seems a simple 'play as you want' request to me.

Not necessarily, I just understand that RNG is RNG. Some things you get quickly, others you don't, and there is absolutely zero issue in that. I went and solo'd this WB after my previous post just to see what the OP was on about. Took like 5 - 8 minutes. One attempt, no wipes. If they can do vCA HM, they are capable of putting together a solo build that can complete this boss without much issue. What we don't need is even more in this game being made simpler; there has been far too much of that already. People (OP included) complain about dead zones now, but they want everything in a zone to just be handed to them so they never return there... that's the most illogical take ever. Treasure map leads, I get that, and support a change there. Killing a WB for a drop? Not so much.

You are misrepresenting the point made here. No one said we want things handed to us neither complained RNG in other aspects in game as they fixed many things like transmutation for traits and creating sticker books for set items.
Problem with RNG here is that you don't if you ever get what you want at all regardless of the amout of effort you put.

We were farming Sunspire and Lair of Marselook with my friend. She got her lead in Sunspire from 2nd run in the day.
I got mine several weeks later. In Lair of Marselook exact opposite happened.

Saying RNG is RNG doesn't make it fun, engaging or interesting. It is frustating.
I get one furnishing lead 68 times without trying and another one I got zero. Clearly there is no standard drop rate between different leads. And we don't know why.
