Vampire: Is it worth it?

    The problem is every skill besides bats is essentially a defensive skill. For a entity that is supposed to prey and be a hunter the defensive style doesn't make a lot of sense.

    Mist is broken (so i hear). The speed boost is nice but doing no damage and no heals is just prolonging the inevitable. They need to buff the damage on poison mist considerably or change the skill all together. elusive mist needs to stop CC and roots/snares. (how do you snare a cloud of mist?). If you get snared or rooted you are stuck in that state for 4 seconds and helpless.

    The drains do too little damage for a small heal to be effective. You have to be really low to get that 30% and from what I can tell it does not go off buffed hp. The best thing they did however was allow you to use it on the same enemy more than once, they just nerfed it too hard when they did.

    I would like to see them work with the skills so they are worth using outside of bats and add news as well. The problem is they allowed people to infinitely use bats in pvp and they got nerfed too hard.

    I also really miss being a Vampire. I prefer to play as a Vampire in all TES games simply because it added a degree of difficulty, but never anything like what we see now. Between the PvE almost one shots and the PvP Silver Bolt/Hunter combo -which is definitely one shotting people (I've been on both ends of this) it is forcing people to abandon a very valuable skill line as well as the pure awesomeness and joy some of us feel playing a character who is a creature of the nocturne. Please ZOS, make Vampire viable again.

    Unfortunately as a magicka templar I find myself forced to be a vamp, I need the mobility of mist form, and clouding swarm is a far better ultimate than any templar one.

    Clouding swarm is also a half decent way of managing to land sweeps on a few enemies and not miss half of them. Unfortunately that seems bugged now, yesterday used clouding swarm multiple times I got CC'D several times during use, even got hit by a wrecking blow!

    But worse is that my sweeps were constantly missing, I even changed to first person view and made sure to try both up close and about 4 meters away, but it still didn't register any hits.

    Sweeps is becoming a terrible skill now, seems to miss far more than it hits now days.
