Vamps and Power Pots

[Avrot]

Anyone Know when lvl 20 Power pots where made un useable by Vamps?

I was using them last week in bg3, logged on last night, tried just about 3 in trying to get power, and got nothing?

Dont rember been told that was a bug, thought it was a feature of the vamps, anyone got any info on this?

 

[Ballard]

yes last patch it was changed so they could not use pots and fop etc and other similar power gain tools. It believe it was an unintended feature.

 

[Avrot]

Bah ok thats crap then, thanx for info.

IMO they should give vamps instant red blood dots around their head they can fire at players that instantly kill the enemy and give u power. That would be over powered though.....oh wait they did something like that already!
Considering u can have your power (AKA Blood) drained by power drain spells and nodes think thats a bit unfiar they cannot at least top up with a low lvl pot. Wouldnt be so bad if there power steal bolt was useable in combat though.

Kill a grey con mob, then run kill an alb/mid

i agree its stupid that power drains effect a vamp, but they would far to over powered if they could start a fight on high mana (power pot)

 

[Enli]

think it says in the delve of the pots

Does the warlord ml ability that gives power, work on a vamp?

 

[Avrot]

I agree high lvl pots would be overpowered, lvl 20 pots would be fine, specially if u just ran into a mana drainer like a Nerco.

As for grey cons its fine in NF but not much use in Bg's

Dunno about ML skill, probably not.

Tbh it would be ok as I said b4, if u could use ur bolt in combat. Im finding alot of cases if u lose the drop on the enemy, ur with no power, specially a nerco. But of course im talking pre last patch, for all I know they may have removed the ability to be drained of your "blood", but I doubt it.

>I agree high lvl pots would be overpowered, lvl 20 pots would be fine, specially

I disagree, since:

See shield tank, pop potion and 40% evade (takes 15-16% power), leisurely move into melee range (waiting for the weapon skill buff timer) and fumble debuff. Cast weaponskill buff, ml4, end tap, and basically kick the shit out of them (with 2300+ ws you'll hit them well enough).

Vampiirs arn't supposed to win vs shield tanks.

 

[Avrot]

Not saying they should. And I agree they shouldn't.

So again I stand by my comment that they should be able to use there blood drain bolts in combat, its once every 30 secs anyway, so very rare u get to cast it twice in same fight, and allows u to get power if someone gets drop on u. Not like they can Insta kill like Whore locks. Even now with nerf, only the heavy tanks survive the whore locks, because they tend to come in 2's and 3's.

Or at least if u cannot gain power by ur bolt in combat or by pot, then they need to make a definate distintion about power drain ml, skills etc, not effecting vamps, as its blood and not power (and while there at it, change the power bar to dark red for them)

I thought it was light tanks they weren't supposed to win against? They walk all over shield classes

it's any class with high defence, ie shield tanks, people with PBT (maybe>) etc, the classes that have too high a defence for the vamp to gain power in time to win.

Unbuffed on the new server I can kill vamps no problem with a S/S pally. Ofc its not level 50 rvr yet but I still dont think they will be unbeatable then even when unbuffed.

not seeing too many warloc "zerges" these days actually..all the fotm slackers seem to have hung up their locs since patch..only a few dedicated locs remain from what i have seem, some of the deciding that a good spot to be is next to a stealthed SB, who merrily pops stealthers for them to eat..

only justice is when you spot them again 10 minutes later and you can actually kill the buggers now

I can kill warlocks 1v1 most of the time now with my vampiir.

The hardest classes to kill 1v1 are heavy tanks, or battlemasters who know what an end pot is.

Still I get most of my RPs from stealthers, I just love the top stealthlore. Judging from certain irc comments I don't think they like me very much! Payback is a bitch
