What vampire stage do you prefer

Zimbugga

Stage 1

Stage 1, because then my vampires are most strongest than at other stages (better health recovery and aren't so weak to fire). My vampires looks better in stage 1 too. If they are at stage 4 they looks very scary, and I don't want it (why everyone else look so ugly??).

I like stage 2 too, because it means I must feed myself!

Bombashaman

Stage 4

Best bonuses.

RaddlemanNumber7

Stage 4

I know 3 is a little better if you're not using stealth but I just can't be bothered to micro-manage my vamp level.

theamazingx

Stage 4

Usually chug two 'Mara's' before execute in Mage HM, that's about it.

KingofAnnwn

Depends

Depends what I'm doing. Stage 4 when on a thieving/murdering spree is awesome though

badmojo

The stage before becoming a vampire.

Well.. personally, I'm not a fan of being a vamp. Did it, tried it, maxed it, but no thank you. Had to get a cure. For those liking it, it's all good. However, with a lot voting on Stage 4 and reasoning is for the passives. Hey, maybe it is just me and I'm not understanding why. In Stage 4, your health regen 75% slower and you take 25% more damage from fire. Granted, your vamp abilities cost 21% less, but it doesn't negate the 75% slower regen and taking 25% more damages from fire. Even with Unnatural Resistance, it had been rougher soloing dolmens and world boss pits than being a normal sorc. Vamp.. you all could have it. No thank you here. Ha ha

you forgot the passives "Supernatural Recovery" and "Undeath".

For me, lower health gen is nothing as I'm not too lazy to hit a healing button if I need health. And I just heal more if I get hit by fire.

Stage 4

I never really got the logic behind vampire stage progression.
Seems like the more blood you drink, the more powerful your abilities would be.
Apparently some dev played vampire and figured out feeding to keep your passives active would be a pain in the butt .

Depends

Stage 4 for pvp, stage 1 or 2 (usually 1) for pve.

SASQUATCH0

Just became a vampire for pvp. Idk how I feel about the health regen and the fire damage though

St 4 Darkstalker. Always. Hard in Bloodroot but fun

As a Vamper, I find the last boss of VFH harder than VBF HM; especially when nubscrubs walk over my backward path at crystals. *Kills everyone*

4. Mostly because I want my undead to look undead. also, the passives are nice.

Same I need my speedy sneak when in Cyrodiil.

Stage 4

Stage 4 for the skill benefits. But I have to use a disguise to cover the horrible skin.

The pray stage or maybe the thrall stage depends on how long you live really

ThePrinceOfBargains

Stage 1

I mostly use Stage 2 if I'm actually doing things. Character gets some benefits at least, without looking completely ridiculous. But I usually revert them to Stage 1 if I'm just standing around by the dolmen.

Cpt_Teemo

Stage 4

I want to look normal at Rank 4, but still have the blue skin so they know your a vampire, I wouldn't mind the red eyes as well but the ghoulie look just went way to far for stage 4

WaltherCarraway

Stage 4

For extra fun and challenge.

lucky_Sage

none only a vampire cuase a magdk has to be to be viable

Drakkdjinn

Werewolf.

Betheny

I prefer my vampires staked.

altemriel

Stage 4

This one prefers the last stage of course, because of the dark stalker passive.
Khajiit she is then very fast sneaking and with charging maneuver even better meowz

none,
i hate having almost zero health regen and dying all the time from any and all fire damage in both pve and pvp.
i need the increased sneak speeds but nothing in eso has fast enough sneak speeds accept for vampire passive, but even that is too slow and not enough. its all i can get so im forced into the vampire class as well as stage 4 vampirism, i suffer with it now and have been suffering with it since beta 2013 because is no other alternative.

Zenimax, please increase sneak speeds.
