The one thing I felt made Vamp worthwhile is being nerfed in the next patch
"Devouring Swarm (morph of Bat Swarm): Reduced the healing on this ability by 30%."
I could do ok with my 2-handed stamina build because I had this one ultimate. I hear it is op for magicka builds but it made it so I at least had a chance. Many times I had to re-clear chaff and rebuild up ultimate just to be able to try an 1 or 2 elite at level. I never feed because 30 min is silly especially when in a group so I'm always at level 4. The ultimate made this ok, now I don't think stamina vamp is viable for me at least.
I bet it is a tough job to try and balance a game. This one spell seems to make some builds op while others just powerful enough.

drkeys143✭✭✭Yep, cured my vamp last night, enough is enough, making you glow like a Roman candle in Cyrodiil was the last straw

✭Quit your whining honestly - werewolfs have been garbage since it's incarnation, it was about time this ultimate got nerfed.Edited by tordr86b16_ESO on October 21, 2014 6:44AM6 -
VileIntent✭✭✭✭Fear not my nocturnal friends. the healing was slightly nerfed but the damage was increased. I compared the live and PTS myself. live damage was 264 with 264 healing. PTS damage was 290 healing 247. It's ok.5 -

Glad to hear it. May call for some shifts on my enchants but I guess that's do-able. They really DO need to alter the ridiculous feeding schedule though, for lots of reasons.Edited by MornaBaine on October 21, 2014 2:36PMPAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!2 -

✭It's a pointless nerf in my opinion, because every vamp i encounter is using clouding swarm. So the fact that damage and ult gain hasn't changed, means this only hurts the very few vamps that do use devouring swarm.
Doesn't bother me either way, i just hope that Werewolf will become viable in PvP.1 -

In 1.5 your two hand stamina build now has an amazing heal. The new momentum buff is godlike.
Flat 20% wep DMG
Heal over time while active.
Can reapply at any time for Instant stamina heal. When rally ends receive a large heal.
Bats warm was OP. It was over used and abused.Edited by ExiledKhallisi on October 21, 2014 4:39PM>>>>>>>>(DC)Guild Master of Biestas 250+ Active Members<<<<<<<<||||||Vr14 Sorc: Darkened Soul vr14 Templar: Tiffaney||||||“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”

MADshadowman✭✭✭✭✭Bat swarms damage already got nerfed by 25% a few patches ago, now the healing gets nerfed 30%. How about reducing the duration and the radius also?1
