What vampire stage do you prefer

bloodthirstyvampire · October 2017

Some people say a proper vampire stays at stage 4 and some say a proper vampire drinks blood and stays well fed at stage 1 or maybe you just want a little regen for stage 2 or some survivablity in stage 3, you may also like the stealth bonus at stage 4 or heck maybe you just play a vamp for looks.

Here is a link as reminder of stage pros and cons

Stage four

The uglier the better. LOL. But seriously, stage 4 looks the best to me. It's all in the eyes.

Stage four

I like the appearance and stealth bonus of stage 4. Once in a while, if I need extra survivability, I will feed to stage 3.

Stage two

Stage 1 while idle, Stage 2 while questing or doing dungeons (unless there’s a lot of fire). Everything else is just too goofy-looking for me. Some people make it look cool, but it doesn’t really fit with my characters.

I'm lazy.

I have an argonian with stage four.

Said it so many times. Here it is again.

Stage 4 or gtfo.

Stage four

too lazy to keep stage 3, and also mist form is a bit cheaper at no-CP pvp

bloodthirstyvampire · October 2017

Stage one

As bloodthirstyvampire should I be stage 4 and be bloodthirstyvampire or stage one drinking blood like a vampire should

Stage one

I usually park my characters at Stage 1. If I need them in a higher stage, I'll mistform to it, and then do what I wanted.

Didn't you already do a thread exactly like this one?

That aside, it doesn't matter what stage you're at. So long as you're a vampire, I call you kin. If you're a mortal, I call you prey. If you're a werewolf, I call you my *****.

I'm planning on going vamp ... can someone explain the stages and also tell me how to get bitten? (Xbox na)

bloodthirstyvampire · December 2017

Stage one

I'd probably stay at stage 4 if I didn't have a drinking problem

LordSemaj · December 2017

Why do we even have stage three?

Easiest way I found to become a vampire (without spending crowns) was to head to the shrine in any factions last area and ask in world chat. There seemed to be plenty of people willing to do it for free. There are plenty of guides on the internet showing the location.

With the stages,

Stage one, basically you just have the look. No benefits or drawbacks.
Stage two, 15% flame damage taken, 25% lower health regeneration and 7% lower vamp ability costs.
Stage three, 20% flame damage taken, 50% lower health regeneration and 14% lower vamp ability costs.
Stage four, 25% flame damage taken, 75% lower health regeneration and 21% lower vamp ability costs.

Use vamp skills to advance the stages quicker, feed to drop back down a stage.

Hope this helps

Stage one

I actually like all 4 of the stages, believe it or not. I like the variable gameplay they bring from a mechanics standpoint. And as a roleplayer, each stage can have a use depending on your storyline. The only thing missing is a fully mortal appearance, which is completely in accordance with TES lore.

That, and I wish guards would attack you and citizens would flee in terror at stages 3 and 4!

kypranb14_ESO · December 2017

Magblade is obviously the best stage of Vampyrism. Great life stealing and ult gain. XD

Jarryzzt · December 2017

There is no real point to playing a vampire until one hits Stage II, which is where the magicka/stamina recovery passive kicks in. This is the default starting point, or ought to be.

From then on, it is really a question of a) stage management and b) whether one wishes to utilize the damage reduction (Stage III) and crouch speed (Stage IV) passives. Personally, I find it easiest to just drop all the way to Stage IV as this triggers all the Vampire passives and is the easiest to manage (just do not ever feed).

The difference in appearance between the stages is negligible enough - on my rig, at least. I suppose others might try and put in the modicum of effort to stay in Stage II or Stage III for a...slightly less "damaged" appearance? Or perhaps slightly less bad health recovery? As I said, I just see no reason to bother.

I prefer the Cured stage.

I prefer calling it, stage "lazy".

Stage four

While I visually prefer stage 2 the most, my vampire is usually stage 4 (with rare exceptions in fire heavy content). I like the stealth passive too much to give it up.

Defilted · December 2017

Stage four

4 - because I only care about the stats.

Uriel_Nocturne · December 2017

Stage 4.

With the eyes and other visual effects? Sexy vamps.
