They could either turn it positive and nerf external healing or allow for tier 4 vampires to regen at least 5%, so you don't have to literally heal after a Guar coughing on you as you walk by. The regen is more of a Quality of Life than a buff; And it still doesn't really make much sense that vampires don't regen. Make a zombie race and make them not regen, this way it would at least make sense. Remember what we're talking about is making the vampire playable in all the content, just like Werewolf or any class is. Vampire, as it is, is only a PvP tool, cause otherwise it's just inconveniences all around. You will now be able to earn the Steam achievement for mastering Vampirism when you learn all 22 Vampire perks in Scion. Weakness to Fire now reduces Fire Resistance by 50% at Stage 1 and 2, and by 100% at Stage 3 and 4. At the same point, there's a valid point to this--that's simply put that the form is too reminiscent of Bal himself and mostly diminishes the answer outright imo. So I really agree with the statement of "why even humour the idea". If it's blood rituals and basing the idea out of mimicry, it still doesn't follow up to the hype unless the true apex predator to her line are mortals rather than those lines strongly associated with Molag Bal. In which if that's the case, I can fully well see that. But there's not that much of an active story threat against Lamae's line with her line vs. mortals. Verandis was turned by Molag Bal and the questlines that we DO run into her bloodline is far and few in between. It almost feels like her line is rather dedicated for players, which is a shame because if they wanted all of this lore out there--they should be throwing it in quests that explain it better.

Stage 4: Health Recovery -100%, Flame Damage Taken +20%, Regular Ability Costs +12%, Vampire Ability Costs -24% Stage 2: Health Recovery -30%, Flame Damage Taken +8%, Regular Ability Costs +5%, Vampire Ability Costs -10% In all honestly, it's also just bad design to handicap the players in such a mechanical way. Life regen is a Quality of life feature, not an advanced combat feature. I doubt anyone would argue that health regen is overpowered in any way. Vamp has too many negatives, and too few positives to bring into the table. It's state is pitiful, it's only a tool for PvP, and something like vampirism should be more flavorful instead of a to There is some minor risk that this might need a new game if you're already a Vampire. It seems to be working fine for me tho. Your choice. The thing is, we didn't really need a vampire lord ultimate. We needed a cool and unique ultimate that vampire players have been waiting for ever since the release. We didn't necessarily need a winged creature, but that was all we were teased with. The Collector's Eition, the trailers, renders, even the pre-PTS video clips. Hell, even the game told us we were vampire lords.

Amulet of the Gargoyle: Your Gargoyle summons have 100 extra Armor Rating and 25% extra Magic Resistance. Vampire Lords also benefit from this effect. Blood Swarm The Vampire commands a Swarm of Bats in the targeted area for 8 seconds that deal XXX damage every second, the swarm grows in strength increasing in damage by 50% for every enemy in the swarm up to a maximum of 250% On the cliffs, Dane tells Sloane all about his time away. How a group of Scions spared his life when he would not have readily done so for them. Then, he opens up more and tells Sloane he never wanted to be a soldier, he only became a soldier because he thought it would give him the chance to save his sister. She’s imprisoned in Cliff Row, because his parents were part of the rebel group they call the Blades. His sister knew and saved Dane, ushering him away. She was tortured and imprisoned. The Blades came for him and helped him change his identity. Omari Wells became Dane Grey and Omari made Dane’s life ambition saving his sister. This change has been extended to the Absorb Life spells added by Mysticism, as well. I will also be extending this change to Thaumaturgy (along w/ some buffs to the enchantment and other adjustments) in the somewhat-near future. You should no longer errantly receive XP while a Vampire Lord, or gain XP for any specific Vampire powers (such as Champion of the Night).

As mentioned by the OP, it'd be nice if we could do something to extend the duration of the transformation. Maybe through Vampiric Drain. Also perhaps we can drink the blood from dead enemies (akin to werewolf feeding). Unnatural Resistance now increases Frost Resistance by 50% at Stage 1 and 2, and by 100% at Stage 3 and 4. Under the Lucis' brutal rule, her identity means her death if her powers are discovered. But when she is forcibly conscripted into the Lucis army on her fifteenth birthday, Sloane sees a new opportunity: to overcome the bloody challenges of Lucis training, and destroy them from within.

Stage 4 Vampires are no longer Hated and Feared. (This mechanic was ultimately too annoying and would cause issues that are literally impossible for users to fix–no fun.)

So you wanna make Vamp kill 5 enemies in less than 10 seconds to get the same amount of wd/sd you get now from making use of the stage 4 passive to get it in 3 seconds or instantly via cloak or an invisibility pot? No thanks Writing about my culture] was cathartic. There is something that happens when you're an immigrant coming to a new country, having to go through the motions of knowing you're in a new place and you're now with people who don't necessarily look like you and having to assimilate in this new culture. Falaye spoke to CBC Books about why she wanted to write Blood Scion. Using fiction to humanize the news The only people who know Sloane’s real identity are a few close friends and her grandfather. And for good reason, because being Yoruba or worse, a Scion is basically a death sentence. So every day, Slone has to make sure there are no slip-ups by letting her power get out of hand. Or else she will be exposed and be killed by The Lucis army. The imperial forces of the colonizers who control the royal empire and all of Nagea.The Blood Scion is alright, it just needs some more duration, since, unlike the WW, it can't extend it's transformation. Maybe making it so when the Blood Scion KILLS something when it drinks blood with it's healing ability it regains a % of transformation like the werewolf would be a nice solution to that. Mist Form is an amazing evasive skill, predominantly used in PVP scenarios where players will be trying to subdue you constantly. This skill turns you into a dark mist that reduces your damage taken by 75%, and entering into it removes and grants immunity to all disabling and immobilization effects. Set in a Nigerian inspired world, Sloane Folashadé is a Yoruba girl and a Scion — people with magic who are descendants of the ancient Orisha gods and are hunted by the Lucis who colonized the fictional country of Nagea and stripped them off their culture and heritage. On her 15th birthday, she is drafted alongside her age mates to become one of the child soldier of the Lucis. Sloane refuses to run away with her village boyfriend and is taken to the island of Avalon where she will be trained to fight against other Scion and also partake in the genocide of theYoruba people. Sloane will have to hide her identity, find out what happened to her dead mother who she believes was killed by the Lucis and destroy the Lucis from within the Army. Some of the passives are nice (alternative source of invisibility), others not so much (cost increase on skills ). Mist being a toggle is cool despite the rubbish PvE nerf to it.
