Players have always dismissed the added fire damage weaknesses on live as insignificant for some reason and I'll never understand why. The truth is it's a a real weakness and one that can ruin your day against the right opponent. My only guess is there is a website or streamer somewhere that says it's not a big deal so everyone just believes it.

Again, I assume part of the reason is the PvE/PvP divide. The only places I bother reducing my vampirism stage to 2 or so, are vBRP, Siroria and Yolnahkriin, and maybe a no-death run if fire is involved. The rest can be healed through comfortably.

I understand that many forum discussions are coming from a PvP perspective. But the "vampirism is free regen" stance is much more pronounced in PvE.

First time I went on pts thinking to myself that I will report bugs ,give feedback and they will listen ...
This will be the last time I go on pts to do that!
And what they did on the stream on twitch the other day ..... what a wonderfull age we live in
Oh deer

For the people who like the new vampirism, I'd like to ask the following (no shade or anything, I legit want to see it from a different PoV)

• How are you personally engaging with the line in regards to managing Stages and feeding?
• Do you have abilities that you feel pairs well with your class's (as well as your character's) identity/aesthetic?
• What do you do about the stall times in your Blood Scion form if you use it?
• If you use Fury/Frenzy, how do you manage the health cost?
• If you're running Stage 4, how are you managing your -100% health recovery? Do you use sets that give you healing that isn't through health regen (if so, which)? Class heals (if so, which)?
• What parts of the rework do you find personally engaging and rewarding? Note: That's not about the passives.
• Do you find vampirism engages well with the Justice System and if so, how are you engaging in it?

The new spammable works well on my magplar. It gives some interesting burst potential as oppose to the channeling effect of sweeps(which still can hit hard). But sweeps can help sustain health that's being lost from vampire abilities like Fury. I also like the way Mist form works as a toggle. The new stun is weird because it really isn't guaranteed against player characters. The new vamp drain isn't really effective in my opinion and the transformation is sooooo expensive.

At least for me the only issue I have with Stage 4 is the fire damage but I can mitigate everything else. Vampire is something I still want to experiment with.

Greetings! As a heads up, we've removed some posts from this thread due to baiting.

We understand that everyone has their own opinions they want to express, but we also want the forums to be a constructive platform for ESO and its community. If a discussion gets heated and turns into a debate, remember that you should stick to debating the post and/or thread topic.

Good thing ZOS can take the time out for censorship but not to actually acknowledge the displeasure of their paying customers.
