You mean it was broken and now fixed ... ?

No.

I mean its damage is horrible. Funnel health and its morphs hit harder than blood for blood. If fixed means "Useless" and no one put it on there bar. Then yes, you are correct. Its fixed.

Right now it seems that it's better to just cure and move on, unfortunately. It was indeed nerf-yeeted into Oblivion. I've been feeling a bit of the vampire woes myself.

I agree that Blood for Blood was treated very harshly, and I’d still like to see it re-evaluated.

That being said I was not happy that it basically ran the macicka dps meta. The idea that all magicka dps characters were recommended to be vampires to hit top numbers only for a single spammable was too much. If they can make it hit well in vampire specific builds but not affect all other magicka dps builds, then that’d be perfect.

Thrassian stranglers thou...oh boy did they get strangled. That was a very fun farm for them too, all for nothin’.

Blood for Blood lost its 1.1% damage increase per rank making it deal less damage than Arterial Burst at 100% health. It also scales up to 75% extra damage now based on missing health at rank 4 instead of 100% it used to be at.

This means the ability is only useful when injured, and you can't be healed by others for 5 seconds after using it. The ability is the riskiest spammable you can use in the game and I wouldn't dare take it into a situation that calls for outside healing, or if you're taking a lot of damage like in PVP.
