    It is a matter of opinion that they do op. Depending on your build and what you want to do in game.

    Also, i hate to be a grammar *** but it's weigh, not way.

    Because NOBODY would turn vampire/werewolf if wasn't advantageous somehow?

    You know this is an MMO, right?

    usually its the other way around, there are fewer advantages but people turn because of lore reasons

    The fire damage is quite nasty in end game content. For example stage 4 vampire will have a tough time on that fire stage in vma.

    No vampire also has reduced health regen.

    The main draw back for werewolf is it takes a ulti spot and it's a timed effect which requires the player to keep attacking and feeding to maintain. Also vampire and werewolf are both weak to the fighters guild abilities.

    I honestly can't think of many games that have some sort of template or change you can make to your character where the penalties outweigh the bonuses provided. At most they are usually equal in what they provide, but honestly in an MMO or most online games they are going to be mostly positive or else no one would ever use them except for a few niche exceptions.

    As it stands the fire and poison penalties can be quite painful if you don't know what a certain mob or boss can do to you.

    It is a matter of opinion based on what you do to find what OP has. Just an opinion.

    There is a lot of fire in this game. People who are good at managing, avoiding and mitigating damage do pay a lower cost, but that is due to player skill.

    But to suggest 25% more damage from fire is not a big deal is to ignore the realities of the game. Heck, one trial most of us cure our vampirism for the final fight. Another trial those with stage 4 vamp have to be careful because there is heavy fire damage.

    That is just talking about two trials and does not even get into PvP. So OP can have their opinion, but the OP does not explain their reasoning so it just seems biased.

    ahm. no
    vMA doesnt rly have a fire stage. The stages just has lava around it and stage 4 vamps are perfectly fine there if you follow mechanics

    And yet how they are now, EVERYBODY is a Vampire/Werewolf. Those of us who refuse to get cursed are a minority, which kinda goes against Lore and Immersion.

    I doubt anybody would play them if they were gimped. But there are disadvantages to them.... the problem was when those disadvantages were too high people would not PvE or use them.

    Best that comes to mind was vampires stage mechanics. Every time you had to feed to PvE to prevent becoming a match in PvE content.

    I doubt Werewolve is required for end game as is vampire either.

    aside from that you have fighters guild abilities also.

    The fire damage and looking like *** is enough of a disadvantage to me to never want to play vampire, and I would never go WW because its only useful of stamina builds and only then if you actually use the werewolf ultimate often.
