Vampire Mist form affects Damage Shields!

You may know this already but I just found it out via testing with FTC damage logging.
If you cast a damage shield and then activate Mist Form. The damage your shield takes is reduced by 75%.
I have a high magicka regen sorc about 2500. I've been trying out different play styles and found this out. I was damn near invulnerable in pve. I have yet to test this against big bosses so I'm not sure how viable it is for tanking or attrition fighting. But I think it's worth further experimentation.
I had my pets up for damage, cast lightening form, velocius curse, hardened ward, healing ward, then cast poison mist. just as poison mist expires the healing ward pops and velocius curse explodes. Then you can curse, ward, and mist again. If you need magicka again and the boss/mob uses magic you just throw in the light armor shield for magicka absorption.
You can't cast or heal while you are misted so pbaoe pulse and DOTs are your friend.
I also found that swapping bars breaks mist form so you can mist, swap cast heal/damage/buff then swap back and mist again. You can do this really quickly

✭✭✭✭✭You haven't discovered anything new. Play your vamp in Cyrodiil and the IC for a while, and you will find there are reasons ESO isn't full of vampires:
1) Mist Form only delays death in PvP, it doesn't prevent it. Since your magicka doesn't regen while in mist form, you're eventually going to run out of magicka... and then what?
2) Mist Form doesn't give you any useful immunity to crippling snares, no matter what the tooltip says. What kind of "escape" can you make when you're snared?
3) Camo Hunter, Dawnbreaker and Silver Shards are all incredibly OP and game-breaking for Vamps. Good luck surviving all that!
Because of all these PvP isuues, it's hard to justify keeping Vampire status for PvE, even though it's awesome sometimes. If you NEVER play PvP, then yeah, all those things you mentioned are great.
