Should vampires heal from bloodlet/bleeds?

[Meatwad]

Im guessing that this will never happen, for some reason Glitch wants crushers to be more effective vamps than piercers. Im biased as a vamp/rouge but it just doesn't make sense for the bloodlets to not heal when that is what makes our damage comparable to other melee classes. Shouldn't crushers be the least effective vamps because then rely blunt force damage witch makes less blood than a cut of stab?

Let me crush your arm with a blunt object. And then stab your other, we will see which bleeds more.

Lol@ Jadakris.
Vamps using 2hand slasher are great to me.
Can't speak on LG weapons,but I think for 2hander slashers out perform crush.
Ill admit, looking at RougeTiger's utube clips, I have a serious respect for 2hand pierce.

Since heals for vamps are base on impact it make sense that there is no healing for Bloodlets.

Vamp/Rouge that had heals on bloodlets would be a great combo.

as crushers have the highest A and the lowest B and C, they are the best for vampires, even assuming that a,b, and c balance total damage out between weapon classes.

The reason I think this is bull is because the words bloodlet and bleed do not heal vampires, which are known for (wait for it) drinking blood to heal. And because these effects do not heal vampires, slashers and piercers (and whips to a lesser extent) cannot compete with the healing power of crushing weapons.

This guy explains it perfectly but instead of counter arguments you make jokes about hitting me with a hammer. Crushers make better vamps its plain as day.

Welcome to the avenue of old news.

Difference is bloodlets are guaranteed. Theyre a set amount that can't be reduced through anything but mitigation, so piercers would get some constant heals regardless of who they're fighting.

Which had be said in this thread before, but he wasn't happy with that as an answer I guess

Yup. Who's ever heard of trying to draw blood using a spear or a sword? Hammers should do the job much better!

Well piercing is about constant damage and vamping is about healing from that damage so i dont see why that should be a problem.

[Meatwad]

Maybe Glitch could let us heal 5% of bloodlets regardless of Class Specialization. I could see 15% being a lot but 5% is a small change and wouldn't make us OP.

So DKs get a buff but Vamp piercers still get out vamped by archers and crushers?
