I have discovered through extensive testing that the ESSENTIAL ability of the vampire tree, the one that allows us to survive our radically diminished health regen and fire weakness with self-healing, has a very serious bug.
It appears the game incorrectly classifies this ability as a knockdown, and therefor you are not able to use it on foes that have been knocked down by any other ability.
This is extremely detrimental as a healer, as I rely on this ability in dungeons to build my ultimate and to self-heal to save mana.

✭✭I also found that to be odd that it never worked while they were knocked down.
I would sit there and wait for them to stand up so I could drain them.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Don't see anything in the upcoming patch notes that they know about this so I hope someone sees it amidst all the "wah I quit" posts.0 -

✭They need to fix the part where it doesn't work on non knockdowned mobs as well. It's like a 50/50 thing where it either saves me or gets me killed. Also need to make it so it works on boss mobs and "strong mobs" they can take away the stun if they want but it needs to be changed.Edited by Arsenic_Touch on May 17, 2014 9:34PM☠ Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured? ☠

I have been noticing this as well. Not just with this but ALL my sorc abilities. Lightning flood will not put down the AOE targeted effect half the time. Impulse from Destruction staff will not play its fire animation half the time when hitting multiple targets (and doesn't seem to ever apply the morphed AOE), but this one is the worst.
The problem with this one is, it sticks your character in the hand-out drain animation and locks your abilities, while not actually doing the heal. This does indeed happen frequently even against non-knocked down mobs.
It might bug against ANY cc'd mobs, though it seems to be totally random, like the other above mentioned bugs. Usually the more mobs engaged the more likely it will happen. Or if there are multiple players hitting them, the more players the more likely.0 -
Desdemonte✭✭✭Yeah, FFS fix this.
Or is this another WAI feature in the bugged tree? Good thing vamps were nerffed instead of the actual class whos abilities allow them exploit the vamp tree.....0
