Guild Wars 2

“Rune of Vampirism: Updated the sixth tier ability (mist form) to activate when struck while under 25% health, and profession-specific skills are no longer usable.”

I see no problem really. Much needed across the board, I think. They should reduce the ICD on the hit leech now though

Hits Necros the hardest, since they could pop Death Shroud and actually use the invulnerability for more than just avoidance.

Its understandable that it hit harder, but it’s still pretty broken. Good fix. The more bugs and stuff they fix the more we can one day get balanced for real.

I actually dropped it and will no longer use it anymore. Played a couple matches with it and it got me killed more than it helped. Honestly i hadnt noticed this much before(also havent used it a ton) so it could just have always worked this way and im going crazy but…

Having it proc and go on cd, cool works as intended, go on about ur business in another fight later on ur low hp (at or below25%) and you enter ds. Cool except if it comes back off cd and u get hit since u got hit and ur hp is below the 25% it takes you out of ds and forces you into mist form.

Which is bad especially if you were on the offensive or would have been able to win the fight or soak dmg fine in ds, you are in mist form, and when it end you dont have ds to enter since its on cd.

Also if you are fighting and condis get you below the 25% and you enter ds then get hit itll do the same thing.

As i said before though i only recently started running vamp(was running condi or just a diff rune before for pwr) so i didnt have a lot of experience with that happening if it could pre patch. Also maybe since it used to be 20% i just neverwas in ds or went to enter ds when i was that low and it being at 25% is just me noticing it for once now.

Boo.. I used Vamp with SD Engi build. It was sweet while it lasted though. Never used them on my Necro though. I’ve always used Pack Runes for my Necro. Well, for power heavy builds that is. But man, my Engi is gonna miss those Vamp runes.

I was using it, was pretty easy to know when it was gonna proc so it didn’t disrupt heals, kinda sad it’s gone, at least those engis will stop using it.
