Vampires (Discussion)

Vampires have the advantage of death and would be perfect in certain builds (i.e. vampire necromancer, vampire elementalist), and also, if we are going to have pets in the upcoming Guild Wars 2, the vampires can turn into bats!

Why this is a good idea

• Vampires will make the game more magical and fantasy
• Vampires can have an advantage of sucking blood and that takes away health
• It would be cool transforming into a bat! (with a reasonable amount of manner of course)

Why it may not work out

• Vampires, according to legend, can only come out at night, and most areas are day all the time.
• A necromancer is already kind of like a vampire with their blood skills.
• No purpose to Guild Wars lore; make a pale character with "Blood" in their name.
• Replica: Blood Magic Necromancer with low tolerance to Smiting Prayers
