Turn in Vampire combo?

[Icebear]

Had this game long ago and now bought from steam. I made a Vampiress and read from web that most do Turn in Vampire combo. What kind of combo it is? I thought just 4 TiV:s, but character just go back and forth in forms. Pretty clueless here now....

its been a long time, there was some kind of trick with the combo system so that you could stay in vampire form all the time.

So its not a combo in the combo sense, but just used as a trick to circumvent the cooldown.
I dont quite remember how it worked though

Yeah I think you don't put TIV x 2 or more rather just 1 TIV and it avoids cool down. Just 1 TIV as a 'combo' but combo in name only ie not two combat arts.. As you get higher level with more Vampirism you can 'update the combo' not to put more castings of TIV but eat more runes or make the combo when you have lots of +1 Combat Art gear.

The only thing that second part does is make your TIV combo last longer so you don't have to recast it as often. But after 20 levels I think TIV (1 rune eaten no +CA) should always be up and you're never a 'knight'. And then when you get higher level and more Vampirism you can eat more runes and it lasts longer per casting but still always up.

The above means that Concentration is a complete waste with this build because Concentration is replaced by Vampirism whenever you are transformed into a Vampire. In other words Concentration helps a 'knight' use hard hit (lowers cool down) but Vampirism and not Concentration helps the 'vampire' form use hard hit.
