You make it sound like vamp was something more than a to choice that even at its most basic still makes your actual ability drop a good deal....

Stop using the word OP. Vampires got nerfed to the ground because of ppl like you claiming shit is OP.

Thank you. Glad you're back in ESO. Really appreciate your work.

[@misterbrady100]

I've just about checked out of ESO. I'm watching from the sidelines, and I'm glad it's getting better. I wish they had done this many years ago.

[@C_A_I_N_N]

Honestly I will say for as much as people have pointed out that The Arcanist drop didn't really revive the game even if it isn't necessarily the death of the game, I think it does at least show that for a while they're at least there was a good portion of people who did check it out anytime soon, I think people will start to see and hopefully zos will continue with releasing actually content heavy updates in between serious bug fixing and balancing set the community actually backs up and not just whatever the fuck they think we'll get them more money where did they keep this up then I think we might see the player base start to come back find me at least acknowledging that zenimax changed since the update 35 drama

In my opinion vampire drain should be a healing skill for vampires. So they should boost its healing. Also add stun or root in it. To make it actually viable. As it right now it's not much use.

ngl i after reading what blood mist was gonna be, i thought it was gonna be a like you had to dash and do damage when you arrived and got a heal over time based on that, but it giving you this cool blood pool that follows you is alot better then i expected. it actually does pretty decent dps too, making it a really fun little skill. I'm really liking this new patch.

Looks good, glad they are giving PvE Vampire something as that skill and being a vampire was essentially a negative in PvE. Definitely needs a better animation, even using the one from Skyrim's lord bat form would be cool as that was clean tbh.

[@brandonwyman9125]

Mist was better in pve when it provided the 75% reduction to everything with the Greymoor rework. Couple patches afterwards they changed it to only do that in pvp, horribly crippling it for any pve utility. Now they are doing this? Completely screwing the skill up from what it was supposed to be to being a shoddy copy of sorc streak?

[@bradbidding5560]

I just got vamp and was looking to change up some of my skills so that's definitely something I'd put on my bar

[@brandonwyman9125]

The big question is this: while blood mist is active, is it still considered a channel and will work with the high elf racial that reduces dmg during a channel? This might make it more viable for high elf vamps again using sated fury if it price the racial after using it

[@joebenzz]

It seems to act more as a buff rather than a channel.

[@a_tremereandsomeblood_just3642]

Good to hear. I hated that squishy Vampire theme that was going on. Nice to see that you know have much more controll about loosing and gaining health. Vampires should feel strong espacialy because of the huge downsides a level 4 Vampire has. Until now playing a lets say Necromancer Vampire (that would be my RPG approach) every Vampire skill you swap in - makes you weaker. i just play PVE so i don't know if it was different in PVP^^

[@evelynclover6366]

I miss the bats ultimate. Not everyone wants to look disgusting and grow huge. I haven't been on in 3-4 years. My Vampire girl 🧛‍♀️ may have to put up the fangs and reminisce the past 💔

[@Fangtagion]

With the fire damage aspect of vampire, Bretons and dark elves are great choices to mitigate some of the extra fire damage one would be taking.

[@shaunanigans3364]

This.

[@xyourdeus4972]

The flame damage taken matters little if you're stage 3 vampire. The mitigation scales linearly to your current health pool and goes up to 30%, it almost negates the flame damage taken you get. That's not including any other modifiers you might be having as well

[@imxrtal13]

deltia is back to vamp gameplay

[@drivebyjoe]

They need to nerf speed not give more ways to get it.. you got Dks running faster then any class in the game and hit like a truck while running serpent mythic 😪

[@jfbrko290]

I really dislike when something gets improved in the game and everyone who reports on it calls it "OP" didn't vampire get called lame and underpowered thanks to the reworking of the skills and stages and crap lately? This constant use of hyperbolic language is ridiculous. I think it is long deserved that vampires get an ability that effectively acts as a passive togglesble AOE blood drain. Feels really vampiric and helps to balance some of those hard hits to passive health recovery. You still can't take first damage worth a crap but that's ok. That's how it SHOULD be.

[@caglaralpdurmus7159]

Honestly couldn't agree more. The hyperbolic language in ESO community online is at ridiciulous levels and the clickbaiting reasons are making it worse. Every build you see is "INSANE DAMAGE OMG 1 SHOT BUILD ZOS FIX THIS". Especially on build pages, every build has insane sustain and insane stats and insane damage. It's also causing people to think that their build is useless or when they expect it to be OP and it's just ok, they lose interest in the game.

[@OzricStone]

Vampires are still lame and unplayable even with this minor change. 😒 it's the weakest skill line in ESO because of all the debuff with punishment for basically using any of the Vampire skills. Just a simple hit by fire takes the health bar down to nothing.

[@jfbrko290]

And why is it that vampires don't have a whole bar for their skills like werewolves but they have to choose between if the want to use other skills or the vamp ones

[@brandonwyman9125]

Maybe cause werewolf is a transformation meant to use only those kinds of abilities, turning you into a feral killing machine. And WW only have their poison weakness while transformed, so you don’t even have to use it at all. The trade off for vampires being able to use their skills at any time, independently of a transformation, is that they have bigger penalties ALL the time, especially the higher the stage you wanna go with it. Be happy your WW is OP and has no drawback. Anytime you want to take extra fire damage (which most of the npcs use) and increased resource cost, and lose your health regen to make WW more independent of its transformation, go ahead and ask ZOS to screw yours up too. Quite complaining and be happy.

@@geraldfisher6475 Everyone in pvp is a vampire. There's a difference in PVP vs PVE. Vampire is very valuable pvp wise. 30% damage mitigation via undeath, strike from shadows for weapon spell damage, unnatural movement for a getaway, mist form for insane mobility. Also Eviscerate is an amazing spammable ability in pvp. All are very very valuable for PVP gameplay, it kinda makes it pointless to be a non vampire for PVP gameplay seeing as vampire gives all these positives while non vamp has nothing other than better Resource sustain and less flame damage taken.

Vamp was already OP, which is rather hard to debate considering it makes literally every build stronger (unless you rely on spamming vigor every second I guess?

This is the saddest change ever. As if vampire wasn't annoying enough, now everyone is going to have streak. That's not going to be fun to play against, nor does it look smooth compared to actual streak or some other gap closers. ZOS seems too concerned with not breaking pve to regard anything else.

[@MashMalloman]

The amount of people here that haven't actually tried it are astonishing. It's worse than streak for mobility, it's worse than surge for healing, it's worse than hurricane for damage, and it's worse than old mist for tanking. This is coming from a Sorc main, it's fine and in fact a bit clunky. Nothing against deltia, I love you brother, but obviously he's gonna hype it up for a short video like this. It's not nearly as powerful as the video makes it seem. It's definitely an awesome skill, but a lot of people will be dissapointed the moment they think this thing is some OP game breaking I win button.

50% PvP penalty on damage, then 50% PvP penalty on heal - as a result, this "massive" heal turns into 230 heal which is equal to some kind of Leeching Plate and means absolutely nothing in PvP. In addition, there is also a 2 sec cd vs 1 sec leaching plate. Let's also take into account that this "teleport" ignores the height difference - falling after the teleport is a loss of control over the character and most likely will lead to death. That is another extremely niche change that will not change anything.
