    to be fair, you get perks for beeing vampire why dont you accept the downs

    get rid of it and you are fine

    its not a class or normal skillline

    werewolfes dont complain and have the same downside

    Can pls someone stop this....joke of a Poster?

    What about the 50% more damage from fire?!?

    No skill should ever be able to one-shot anyone all the time.

    So pls get rid of your troll posts!

    I hope this remains unfixed for a few days so that we can overthrow the AD overlords on Hopesfire NA. Pretty much all of them are vampires and I will enjoy one shotting them while I can.

    yes but its borken now , its clearly not meant to make being a vamp or WW completely unplayable since you get one shot every 2 clicks of silver bolts , if that was intended they would have mentioned this dont you think?
    I never said that i think this was intended, i simply said i welcome the change.

    Gonna make some good use of my crossbow while this lasts ...

    You need more skill, not a bug if you want to kill vampires...

    2000 spell resist and 50% health damage mitigation passive. Still get 1 shot by heat wave. Sometimes I get hit for 25% more than my maximum health even. It's kind of overkill.

    My Templar is a Vampire due to the need of some CC to replenish my pools (Invigorating Drain, where NB & DK do have similar inherited abilities) and some much needed MA/STA regeneration.

    However, I do not object to have the Silver Bolt hitting at 50% of the time.
    Seriously none. If an opponent is cunning enough to kill me before I kill him with that is fine. Or else he is going down and has no defences, no matter if he is a DK, SC or NB.

    Because when comes to Vampires, you either kill it on sight or you are dead. Even if they are Templars.

    Must be working as intended then. No way the QA team would miss something this ridiculous.

    Vamps were obviously OP in the beginning and were nerfed. It was annoying, being constantly killed by 1 vamp, even when you had friends. However, this does not make it ok to 1 shot another player. How quickly the tide turns when you're the OP one now. Saying Vamps deserve it isn't true. Sure it was annoying, but one shot kills on anyone is not fun. I'm all for vamps being put on par, but please, let's keep the game at least a little interesting.

    you want a non common skill line to give perks without downs in pvp ?

    The downs shouldn't be getting killed in one-hit by a low-cost instant.

    What a pity! The new insta-kill works only against other players, but not in PvE.

    No class, ability, or skill, should be able to one-shot a pvp player to death.

    It's crazy OP and it needs to be fixed asap.

    If you are not PVPing, so why you care?

    I'm not a Vampire (drop it after 1st nerfs, caused by noobs whine) but this is pathetic anyway.
    How the hell they was able to do that?
    Are they hire another freelancers everytime to make next patch or what? How I can another explain so stupid bugs in the every patch?

    ive been a vamp for months and realised early i had to have a gold fire resist ring to compensate.. ive never been one shot by anything that wouldnt do the same to a non vamp..

    anyway bolts is clearly broken . the folk dumping hate on vamps is a sign of immaturity due to perhaps being butthurt still when vamps were OP.

    Even as a vamp i knew batswarm was broekn and had no problem with them fixing it.. but vamps were nerfed hard and are nothing OP now. i just keep it for the dark stalker passive , nothing more.

    good to know you feel so crushed when someone kills you , you have to blame something op or else your ego gets bruised.. ye i bet you rock at pvp and every time you die its cos of vampirism not just that you play badly.

    You'll always take more fire damage as a vamp than a non-vamp no matter what you do. You can merely reduce the impact.

    This bug is idiotic and it shows the pathetic mentality of the majority of PvPers in this game that everyone (including vamps themselves) are running around gleefully spamming the bugged skill in order to cheat some points up. They're so frenzied at this opportunity to cheat that they're putting up with the slide-show that this busted patch created in PvP.
