Since PvP is Basically Vampires (and Maybe Werewolves too Soon)...

I was thinking another exclusive skill line akin to vampire or werewolf for those of us who don't want to be a vampire or werewolf.

I agree. There should be a skill line unique to those who do not pursue either vampirism or lycanthropy (or they should be excluded from the Fighter's Guild).

Or, alternatively, all players could start out with some basic passives that are then lost when one becomes either a vampire or a werewolf.

Vampires are actually more the issue as it is a constant state. I would be fine even if just vampires lost these "living" passives, as, it seems from most lore, vampires are undead.

Anyway, something needs to be done to increase the negatives of being a vampire. Sure, vampires are strong in ES lore, but they were also few and far between. You can't swing a dead cat in ESO without hitting one...

That's because it's easy to abuse as a brokenly powerful base class. Like Sorcerer and Dragon Knight. If another skill line provided a health drain and extra Regen, they'd all be abusing that. Balance the classes and it'll subside.

All the damn whine about who is better than who. All classes are meant to do more or less everything. Of course some have their advantages, but reading how people whine about sorcs crit more than nb, is like seeing a little baby that got it's candy stolen.

Vampires are overused in PvP, and at the moment there is not enough drawback/counters to them. Not even from the fighters guild.

they maybe Overused but overused and overpowered are different. If i dropped vamp tomorrow i would be the same or more powerful ... probably more powerful because i master craft in 4 areas and am all ways short on skill points.

... how about a "van Helsing" skill line that just specializes in killing vampires and werewolves as a means of balancing out PvP?

LOL, Even tho my post are bit negative, i dont dis-agree with OP, just tired of nerf this, nerf that attitude. Anyway,i like more options in the game & i have asked for the same a advance skill line that was non-supernatural as way to balance way back when vamps did have an OP ultimate months ago. Today vamps maybe popular but they are not op.

Amazing how many people in this thread don't actually use all of the fighter's guild skills and want MORE skills to have an advantage over vampires. Take some time out of your busy schedules and utilize the rest of the skills outside of silver bolts and you'll find that you're more than equipped to deal with vampires.

Camouflaged hunter demolishes vampires left and right.
Lightweight beast trap works wonders when you can snag someone right on the edge of a keep and then pick them off.

If Vamps really bother one, do a youtube search "ESO, how to kill vampires" ......... thats what i did with DK's. I learned my class doing that and learned new skills ........ if i went the whine in a forum route i would off just been bitter.
