I am not a vamp expert but if you want to go VE spec this is the best spec:
34 P
48 VE
25 Dem
Rest SM

There is no real need to go above 34 Pierce now. You get an anytime style with a good to hit bonus with a growth rae of around 0.8. The called shots have a growth rate of around 2.0 but they are second in a chain and the first style has no growth rate. Overall you will do as much damage just spamming the anytime. I have this spec on my vamp and at realm rank 3 with the Weapons Skill buff up I have 2000+ WS.

The 25 Dem will give you the first few resist buff which will improve your survivability alot.

Your other option is to go high Dem spec:
34 P
33 VE
45 Dem
Rest SM

You need the 33 VE for the weapon skill buff and fumble debuff. The high Dem will give you an awful lot of survivability but you lose stealth lore which with the new power regen changes you can have up all the time with the high VE.

i'll go for the first spec .... true the follow up isn't worth it against a tank or anyone else even stealthers that they might evade if you lose the follow up you will lose all your melee dmg.... thanks a lot your answer was equal to a pros ;)

ps: rep

The only thing to consider is that the 44pierce style is an 8s stun. If that lands you get two free vf-es chains and a bunch of power back.

Still the utility low pierce specs brings would out weigh the above vs high defense targets. Depends on what you want to fight really.

At higher RR when you can afford purge 3, charge 2 and IP2 48 VE is good, until then i suggest 48 Dem. A well played dem vamp can reduce almost any class to tears.

It wont come any 1 min timer on claw (and i fgs dont hope it does'nt) , a 10-15 sec recast i can agree to , but 1min is to long . And my bet is that if they would set it to 1min quite many would rage stop thier subs .
I never claw spam on my Vamp tho (high Pierce is the way to go more fun/challenge that way :power:)

34 pierce
48 VE
28 SM

Use a legendary matter weapon and duo with a warden to kill annoying stealthers

Vamps are not more op-ed then valks, warlocks, reavers or heretics, most melee classes can win 1 on 1 with vamp, specially sojourners
