Would you be against having the Vampire feeding mechanic to do damage while we’re feeding on an NPC?

So I just recently got done using it. It’s probably the single most brutal skill in the entire game. From what I’m seeing we’re siphoning a lot of blood from the victim and it looks like it hurts a lot. I personally think it could be really fun for stealth characters to do use this as a surprise attack that not only reduces or vampire stage but looks pretty awesome when we kill some hostile enemy. Thoughts?

    Yes
    I'd like it damaging, but NOT reducing the vampire hunger, mostly because I rely heavily on the passive bonuses we pay so heavily for at max hunger stage ;)
    Edit = Typos ... as usual. <;D

    DOOO ITTTTT! Sounds like it would be a really fun mechanic. I'd have it scale with your highest offensive stats so stam characters can utilize something like that too, as it's literally ripping open a hole in the victim's neck.

    There's really no reason it shouldn't kill regular mob targets outright just like Blade of Woe. Maybe reduce the exp. if it worked that way.

    Honestly, the way it's animated the NPC should be dead after loosing that much blood. So if by "do damage" you mean "do a lethal amount of damage" then yes.

    This would be awesome but I’d still rather a savage bite on the neck like in Skyrim for feeding

    I suspect your question is confusing and leading to warped poll results.

    "Would you be against"...

    I suspect many are clicking yes, as in yes they would like the feeding to do damage. I also suspect many are reading the question properly and clicking no, as in no I am not against the feeding doing damage.
