Vampires need addressing, of that I have little doubt.

The point is entirely correct. ZoS have little to no good angle on Vamp/WW right now because of the shoe horn element. I doubt we'll see anything remotely near to coherent balance with either until the game matures more.

To that end they need an extreme balance pass. A simple infuriation on resistances and otherwise go nowhere, because if something isnt at heart 'effective' like any other tree, it serves no purpose. That cannot be an accepted standard for any skill tree, regardless of its nature.

The tree's need more depth. The weakness element is a lazy crutch, because it does nothing meaningful at all beyond making them worthless, or OP. Hence the requirement for a complete overhaul.

If they are going to be a feature of this game, let them into the room completely ZoS. Having one foot in the door at the party - suits nobody,
