Adding vampire skills ever been considered?

Just thought it might be fun. Maybe adding a vampire themed Gap closer, maybe a heal and either a fear or execute? Just stuff in line with what is already out there. Just thought it might make playing a vampire a bit fun. Anyways just a random thought.

It's been talked about on the forums extensively ever since the Werewolves had three new skills announced for them.

There's been a wide range of ideas thrown around, including the suggestion of multiple variant skill lines, and other interesting concepts.

An expansion to vampires would be cool. Not sure they need a click heal or gap closer, but, it'd be cool to see some new powers. Preferably stuff that you can't, simply, get from another source.

They do have a gap closer in the form of an ultimate. Gimmicky though in the way of the Warden's bear being their execute.

Thematically, there's a lot to be said for a Nightblade Vampire. You have your Cloak, your Fear ability, you've got an execute.

It's not going to be the best build of all time, but if you really want to play into the whole vampire thing, that is an option.

Granted, Warden isn't a bad pick either, if you're specifically going for a Dracula vibe.

With the line available full time, as well as some other benefits, it seems having limited line of skills is due to balance.

The WW did not even have a full line of skills when the game launched iirc, But more were added later and it makes more sense as they can only access the skills in form and those are the only skills they can access.
