Templars should not benefit from being Vampires. There should be additional, major drawbacks to being a vampire as a Templar. This is for lore and power fantasy reasons. I still value ESO as a RPG. And I play both PVP and PVE.

    Why else? I play Templar. I could be a vampire if I wanted to. I'm against it for the reasons I stated. If you don't care about the role playing side of it, I don't expect you to agree.

    It's not the same as with Templars who are expressly against creatures such as vampires.

    You can't block an entire class from a skill line like that.

    Vampires and werewolves can't be part of the Fighter's Guild. Necromancers can't be in Fighter's Guild or a member of the Psijic Order. Dragonknights can't be vampires. Once you complete the main quest and get your soul back, you can no longer use wayshrines.

    Sound silly yet?

    Orcs should not benefit from being Orcs. There should be additional, major drawbacks to being an Orc as an Orc This is for lore and power fantasy reasons. I still value Orc as an Orc. And I play both Orc and Orc.

    There should be even more drawbacks if you want to be a vampire. Vampire's Bane sits there as a reminder of what the class is supposed to be about.

    What lore and fantasy reasons? Because according to Lore Lame Bal was a priestess of Arkady before she was turned. She is one of the most powerful (if not most) powerful vampire out there.

    Yeah but these are people who will complain about vampires not being able to use a Dawnguard skill line if there was one.

    You could rename that to anything else. Indeed, the other morph is called Reflective Light which has nothing to do with vampires at all. The base skill is called Sun Fire and both it and the morphs revolve around sun/radiant heat but since the strain of vampirism in ESO isn't affected by the sun, it's a non-issue.

    If you don't want your templar to be a vamp, don't be one. Mine isn't.

    Templars are based on Clerics.

    "The cleric is a healer, usually a priest and a holy warrior, originally modeled on or inspired by the Military Orders... Most clerics have powers to heal wounds, protect their allies and sometimes resurrect the dead, as well as summon, manipulate and banish undead." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleric_(character_class)

    It's no mere coincidence that Vampire's Bane is named the way it is. Templars should not be vampires. That's why I say, there should be additional drawbacks to playing a Templar as a Vampire.
