Vampire and healing ?

[Crixus]

Vampires have low hp regen but does that affect how much you heal from your own skills like dragon blood ?

No. But Vampires get 33% less damage from all sources after 50% HP, have epic self-healing skill which also is a stun to single target and Myst skill, which is -75% damage from all sources and full immunity to any control effects while active.

Thank you. It sounds very worth it :)

Would it work ok with an orc ?

Why not? It works with anything, even bosmers. There's one big problem about being Vampire, though. Bad looking. They're ugly.

P.S. Oh, and 3 more things:
- You're vulnerable via feeding skill (its a chanelling beam on middle distance),
- You cant attack via myst skill (you can use block to dispell myst, tho),
- 25% more damage from fire 24/7 (and LOTS of mobs and bosses use fire).

Most of people get Vampire for passives: mentioned earlier toughness after 50% hp, cool resources regen and Shadow Stalker passive, which is awesome for thieves/assassins.

Thanks for the info :)

My character is already ugly so that's no issue for me haha. I will try it and hope the fire damage won't be too bad. The passives and heal skill you mentioned sound really good though.

Sigh... Now my plan to make my Nord Sorc a vampire sounds like shooting myself in the foot :P

Do you get penalties if you're out in the sun as a vampire?

Nope.

Most people take Vampire for the passives and 10% extra Magicka/Stamina regen. Health regen isn't really an issue. You can mitigate the extra Flame damage penalty by being a Dark Elf.
