    1. Cosmetic. The Ruins of Mazzatun skin reward sort of hides it, but you need to have some quality PvE friends to get that.
    2. Dawnbreakers hurt. If your health is low enough for Undeath to save you, you're still likely stunned and getting hit with an animation canceled reverse slice next.
    3. Eye of the Storm.

    Now-a-days, my templar vamps pretty much for just Mist Form. Bats used to be really good, but it has no burst and is prolly better for tanking, at lest now. I do like the sneak, I won't toss away the 10% regen, and Undeath comes in handy, but I don't think it's worth it if you can get mobility somewhere else.

    I use Devouring Swarm heavily; its still really useful IMHO...

    I love using it when I'm outnumbered (3k+ healing per target per second) or especially when some Nightblade is trying to blitz me down...

    I purposely do not choose to play a Vampire anymore. It all pans out like this:

    Pros
    - Increased damage mitigation at low health
    - 10% Magicka/Stamina Recovery

    Cons
    - Fire Damage/Fighters Guild skills are far more deadly against you
    - Health Regen is ruined
    - You look ugly

    Imo, it is generally not worth it.

    In PvP a Magicka DK can melt you, and Destro Ults will strike much harder per tick. Also Dawnbreakers deal much more damage. On top of this, a friend providing Troll King will be giving you a lot less healing that they would a Non-Vamp.

    The increased damage mitigation is not worth the increased Fire Damage taken, and resources are much easier to acquire by Heavy Attacking as well in PvE (that recovery is the only true reason to go Vamp in PvP).

    Just my thoughts.

    How about the extra fire damage? That has always been the main reason not to be a vampire.

    Unless you need mistform, being a vampire in PvP will almost always be a bad tradeoff. Undeath is crap and in no way compensates for the extra damage taken.

    You have no idea what ur talking about.

    For those that are wondering about the Fire weakness and the undeath passive, read this:
    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/279426/damage-mitigation-explanation-and-list-of-options/p1

    Specific sections inside detailing the weakness part and there is a short description on the undeath and how it and other forms of mitigation works in combination with the weakness.

    Yup, this. ESO vamps are fugly. Also, the weakness to fire is not a good thing.

    Dawnbreaker is getting fixed.

    So you'll feel those 10k~ Dbs mid roll.

    yet youll take less dmg from it low health...and from everything else

    Does Undeath actually recalculate mid damage? Because Dawbreaker hits in a single go, it's not a DoT.

    Since when is it not a DoT!?
