Vampire

I play mostly PVE, but do a few battlegrounds each day. Stamblade gank type spec. How detrimental is vampire in battleground pvp?

Some stamblades run vamp. It will make you tankier, allow you to move at full speed in stealth, and boost your Stam/Mag regens. Stay away from dawnbreakers though - those things will hurt.

Well vampires are so ugly that when you go to BG as one, everyone will stop fighting to just laugh at your ugliness... which will give you time to slaughter them all.
Jokes aside being a vampire will be great for your ganking if you gank from stealth. Mist form is a great escape ability. And additional magicka and stamina regen is allways welcome.

But there are the cons. First of all you will heal less every second as your health regen will be diminished. Second of all Dawnbreaker will hurt you a lot. Fire damage will be also an issue untill you learn how to control the flow of battle.

Helmets are a vampire's friend! Mist form is funny and you can troll people with it (I love running circles around people as a puff of mist) but not the most effective, but it depends on the exact build. For some builds it is basically a suicide button.

The extra fire damage is annoying, which is why Dunmer is a great vamprie race.

In BGs? Stay away from Stam toons (most of them have DB) and Mag Dks. In Cyro? don't.
