Vamps are OP

Oh my.
Now in the forum this is a common knowledge, right?

Please, don't listen too much to the forum. Play the game. If you want to say what's OP and what's not, be careful to what surrounds you in the game.
Are vamps OP? Or is it that people doesn't move when bat swarm is used so they can get ultimate points and use that ability again?
Are DKs OP? Or maybe is OP the ability to cast instant spells while blocking, without receiving any kind of damage penalty, making tanks able to DPS like, well, damage dealers. But they're invicible. So invicible damage dealers (again, thanks to the weapon and the shield, not the stupid class).
Is streak OP? Or is it just.. Well let's stop this dung here.
Streak. Seriously. Who came with this idea?

Take a look at Cyrodiil. Don't know about other campaign, but come to Haderus (EU). You can see exactly what's going on, there people use only staves, then shields and all the remaining bows. Literally.

    So most people use most of their class skills and 60% of the weapons skills. Wow

    We all know these things. (Or, at least those of us with an IQ better than a pet rock knows them).

    Streak is not OP. It is a Sorc's only "getaway" move. NBs have insta-stealth + speed. DKs don't need anything because they have an insta-heal-to-full-health move, and Templars are stupid (Templars should become Vamps to get mist form).

    Shield and sword is OP just because it buffs blocking (which is already really, really strong). You can DPS and still have almost infinite block.

    Destro staff has the best single target and best AOE ability in the game. If this were restricted to a single class, people would be complaining a lot more.

    DKs are OP because their available skill rotations are way better than any other class.

    Vamps by themselves are not OP.

    Ok, whatever, I'm not gonna reply to people that use such bitchy tone anymore.
    You can see exactly what's going on, there people use only staves, then shields and all the remaining bows. Literally.
    This phrase was pretty clear if you ever played in Cyrodiil, i never said I see one or two classes, I said they use only these weapons. And I said that bow is the least used. So actually, you basically can see sword and shield or staff users, which have definitively some issues that makes playing with these much easier.
    At least in the campaign I mentioned.

    And if I weren't clear, again, i was saying vamps are not OP and DKs and Streak neither, they were examples of what you people here in forum say since the launch day even if things changed in time. Seriously, if you have problems with bat swarm switch to Hello Kitty Online. And I DON'T use that skill.

    Batswarm is OP. It's designed too good. It can turn crap builds into Cyrodiil lawn mowers and Craglorn farmers.

    Your opinion doesn't mean it is fact. I've seen some very garbage vampires and I've also seen some very garbage 'humans". Just because you are vamp doesn't mean you have instawin on your bar. L2P

    If they ever balance Vamp, then that will be your problem. It is not hard to play in god-mode.

    I wonder how all these Vamps will be able to play if they had to play a balanced class.

    I've played with vamp and with out, the only reason I currently play with, is that my group leader likes to throw us (usually 12 man) into the zerg of EP and DC and the invis batswarm allows me to rez or catch up on heals with out being a target. As for survivability, we die, we die alot. Vamp doesn't make you godmode. There are counters, learn to use them or stop complaining.

    Are vamps OP? Really? Or is it that OP classes are a little more OP when contracting Porphyric Hemophilia?

    Skilled players will always be "OP" to casuals regardless of what they are using/doing.

    Half of this thread didn't even bother to read the OP which is somewhat correct in its assumptions.

    What do "casuals" have to do with it and what does it mean? "Casual" is an ill defined term used by people who can't otherwise form a cogent argument.

    A casual is an MMO player who wants everything for nothing. They are defined as MMO players because in any other game that concept would be laughable.

    If I dumb it down any further, I would have to provide some windows for licking as well. Sorry you could not get the gist of what I had said.

    I am a proud vamp and I admit that vamp is OP. As a Templar, Bat Swarm is by far the most powerful ultimate that I have access to. As a Templar, it's like casting a slightly weaker, self heal only, mobile version of practiced incantation at the same time as a mobile, slightly weaker Nova at less than 1/2 the ultimate cost of Nova or Practiced Incantation.

    It is kind of hard to understand what you are saying, but my post was mostly about Batswarm and how it compares to the ultimates that a Templar has access to. For self benefit, it about as good as two templar ultimates put together and it costs half as much.

    I use the heck out of my Batswarm and I like it, and I will continue to use it without feeling bad at all. However, I don't have an issue admitting that is a bit OP.

    Untill someone is smart enough to start exploiting vamps weaknesses .

    Vamp comes at me with bat swarm , my reaction would be to use my own ult . I`m a templar , so my ult from the restoring light tree heals me so much that there is no way he could OUT-DPS the healing i`m getting from the ult. By the time my ult is over, his bat swarms is also over.So both ults would simply cancel eachother.

    I could also probably use Nova , it would reduce his damage by 30% while he`s inside as well as dealing damage to him every second. Maybe even enough to make him decide to get out of it depending on how effective his bats are and how much healing he`s getting out of it .

    Think i`d still go for the healing ult rather than Nova though but i might try it once i get there.

    Also fighter`s guild abilities do extra damage against vamps , as well as fire damage, so yeah, vamps are only OP if you let them be OP by refusing to exploit their weaknesses.

    Be who you want to be , do what you want to do, play the way you want to play.

    The Prophet once said :``There is no perfect choice , there are only other choices. ``

    Same goes for your build. There is no perfect build, there are only other builds.

    My name is Draxuul and i approve this message .

    Did someone in this thread actually say Templar is OP? No wonder why Zenimax doesn't respond to player feedback.
    Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.

    As a Sorc, silence morphed is a way more powerful AOE ult for me & i try to keep a single target ult which leaves no room for Bat swarm ... its was fun to use pre VR tho.
