    Well we do have a drain so that's fine it's just the melee attack sucks at the moment the animation makes it take entirely too long before we can cast another skill that's melee in nature. It also feels completely wrong who claws only once when using claws in any movies or fantasy tv. It makes no sense.

    One of the things I miss the most was the extra hiding power that came at night time. it was awesome being able to never be caught at night while pickpocketing because I had three sets on that would reduce the range and then the night shroud buff sneaking around.

    Should of used vampire prior to greymoor...


    Vampires had a rework, werewolves got jack.

    WW got buffed. They used to take more poison damage, not anymore. Nothing huge, but they did.

    Fire does murder vamps, hopefully the skill line gets some fun and interestingness worked into it. Werewolf was overdue though.

    I sorta hope the base vampire appearance on NPCs and players gets update because at the moment current Vampire stages don't work all that well in the sense of it applying a white texture and human eyes to races. Can cause whitewashing depending on certain races. I don't think the visuals of Vampire stages have been touched since release?

    Stage 1 honestly should hide Vampire appearances. ESO has made it a common Vampire ability so it would make sense that it would hide the appearance (Verandis during the Reach when talking of Lady Belain). Stages 2-4 should have the Vampire visuals on the character model hopefully with fangs.

    i also mentioned drain sucking, it needs change cause it sucks, and change skill,s like stamina morphe is melee and magica morphe is rangedrain is not even attack skill, as attack its trash, even wardens dive is better then drain, vamp needs ranged attack and also aoe attack spell

    claw should be a diseased sword similar to Searing Strike, but instead of flame its disease damage or poison damage and disease debuff, and it has a dot poison/disease dot

    I'll chime in again with my hope that the Vamp Rework includes:

    More skills that ACTUALLY do bleed, instead of just having blood in the name.
    Possibly with an option to heal from bleed damage.

    Skill style or some other method to EASILY hide vampirism. The look at this point is purely an RP option that should be removable in 'Settings' or with a skill. Sure, I 'can' cover it up with armor etc, but why should I be forced to not have the look I want when everyone else has those options?

    Same with Stage 4 and NPCs, this is mostly an RP option, please add a setting for it.

    With all the QoL changes, I think the looks and the NPC interactions SERIOUSLY need to be reconsidered as they negatively impact game enjoyment for most of us.



    To help with thread consolidation, I'll pop my link here as well:
