My Vamp characters only go to stage four when doing Stealth quests... otherwise I keep them at Stage 2 solely for the 10% regen. I cannot stand the ugliness factor of stage 4, and since I don't use any Vamp abilities, I could care less about vamp skill cost reduction. However, since my vamps are Magicka characters, it means going to stage 4 for stealth quests so I don't have to wear medium Night's Silence which doesn't benefit Magicka characters at all. I have crafted Medium Julianos for stealth quests with my vamp because of the stealth passives with medium armor.

I usually stay at stage two, or sometimes one. I like the little bit of extra regen at stage 2 and the glowing eyes are cool but I don't like how my eyes look at stages 3/4. It's easy enough to go down if I feel like it but then I feel obligated to wear a mask. I keep a stack of bloody mara in my backpack so it isn't really a pain in any way to keep it from dropping.
