    Vamp atm isn't worth it.

    I dropped it on my nb recently and my survival became alot better

    Camo hunter instagibs.
    Dawnbreaker of smiting basicly instagibs vamps too.

    And that people get more weap/spelldmg when attacking you.

    I hit a 20.0k DBoS (initial hit) a v16 yesterday with my bomberblade. The poor vampire archer had 19k hp so his body started to slide and jump around while Being dead. After that I cured it on myself lol.

    I think the regular vampire skills should be reviewed. I don't think they are very useful, and they have the potential to cause more harm than good. I haven't used Elusive Mist in a while because it didn't seem like the speed boost was being fully applied (I don't know if that was fixed), and without the speed boost you are just a target that can't fight back and that take a little longer to kill.

    I really like bats, though. I use the Clouding Swarm morph right now, but I might change to Devouring Swarm due to the changes to stealth skills, that also affect the invisibility in Clouding Swarm.

    And running while in stealth is awesome. Dark Stalker alone makes me love playing my vampire.

    Running while in stealth is the only reason my character is still a vampire. And I can use better armor sets than Night's Silence.

    Running + stealth and concealed weapon is nice.

    @leepalmer95 , does The increased stealth speed with concealed weapon stack with the vampire stealth speed, or is it just another stand alone option?

    I'm sure they stack, don't see why they wouldn't. Haven't checked in a while, i've always assumed they have, you've made me doubt myself now.

    Sorry, didn't mean to make you doubt yourself. :)

    I'm thinking Surprise Attack + Dark Stalker passive would be better if it is the case that concealed doesn't stack.

    It's fine.

    If don't really like the increased speed to much on it, it's nice but not something i'd expect on a dps skill, Sa gets an armour debuff, was hoping concealed gets something like minor maim/defile or even something like a dot, anything to increase it's dps.

    I get my speed from crippling grasp :), though running around in cloak with 65% speed is pretty funny.

    It stacks. During combat however I also use crippling grasp.

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    Even with all of these negatives, I think a lot of the top ten players from all 3 alliances on the Azura's Star leaderboards (PS4 NA) are vampires... (maybe even all 3 emperors??) So, on the PS4 at least, vampirism seems to have a place in some very successful PVP builds.

    Vampirism is suited for magicka builds, and you would have to adapt to a whole different playstyle
