Vampiric Drain Changes

Vampiric Drain: This ability and its morphs now heal for 25% of your Missing Health per tick, up from 23%. The morphs also no longer rank up in 1.1% per damage done per rank and now rank up in morphed effects.
Exhilarating Drain (morph): This morph now ranks up 1 additional Ultimate per rank which will be 5 at rank IV, up from 4.
Drain Vigor (morph): This morph now gains 1% missing Stamina per rank which ends at 10% at rank IV, up from 5%.
I will admit I didn't see these coming at all. I'm not happy with it still healing missing health, but the drastically improved morphs have caught my eye somewhat. Doubling the stamina restore morph was very much needed to make it competitive, and making Exhilarating Drain restore it's old ultimate value is very nice. Wish they didn't take the damage increase out, but let's be honest here.... you were not hurting anyone with the reworked Vampiric Drain. In PvP I was doing less than 1k damage a second against people with this ability, and I might have done more damage using my character's bare fists.
Still, the major issues with Vampiric Drain still stand. Despite the buffed utility, and slightly more healing, the ability is still a ranged channel that requires a target. Still don't see many people using this ability with all the risks involved, but for ultimate gain builds Exhilarating Drain is looking really nice.
