Vampire's Woe - Suppress Vampire Feeding for Blade of Woe

Vampire's Woe - v1.01

This simple addon gives an option to suppress the vampire feeding synergy so it is easier to react to Blade of Woe becoming available.

NOTE: Normally the way the game handles these two abilities is if you are in range for vampire feeding but not Blade of Woe, the feeding synergy pops up. If you then move closer, close enough to be in range for Blade of Woe, the synergy message will change to Blade of Woe. If you move out of range of Blade of Woe but are still in range for feeding, it will switch back to the feeding popup. This will go back and forth so long as you are in range of one or the other. Being in range for Blade of Woe completely disables vampire feeding.

This can all be rather cumbersome as reaction is based on visual AND sound, and having the game play synergy sounds at you over and over as you move in and out of range makes it difficult to know just which synergy you are reacting to. That is where Vampire's Woe comes in. While vampire feeding is suppressed, you will never see the feed synergy pop up and will not be able to feed, preventing interference with Blade of Woe.

You can set a keybind to turn this functionality on or off in realtime when you want to feed.

    This will not prevent you from feeding if you are in range for the vampire synergy. Due to API limitations you cannot actually change which synergy is registered to be used when you hit your keybind. However, what this will do is prevent the popup notification for vampire feeding so that you have a simpler time reacting when you come in range of Blade of Woe. One popup, one sound announcement.

    You can set a keybind to turn this functionality on or off in realtime.

    What I don't get is why no one from the PTS seems to have had a problem with this, or did nobody play as a vampire in the PTS?

    Version 1.01:
    • Modified to also suppress vampire feeding when not in range of Blade of Woe even when the synergy popup doesn't show.

    Updated the original post to reflect this.

    Now when suppressing vampire feeding it toggled, you will not be able to feed (accidentally or on purpose) at all (your drain ability still works of course) preventing any interference with Blade of Woe.

    Set the keybind to use to toggle feed suppression off when you want to feed.

    Oh, it was definitely noted on PTS and suggested that something be done about it. Like many things suggested or brought up on PTS it wasn't addressed or even discussed unfortunately.

    Can't speak to that. I just fix things. :p
