Vampires - you should be afraid of the night

[WraithLord]

@Fantomen - I agree. So long as one doesn't neglect the other "tools" in the box using vamps as described here makes perfect sense.

@llamabeast - I'm not particularly attached to ethereality on vamps. I did, however, very much liked the threat level that vamps represented in dom-II days. Back then such a thread would not have been required b/c everyone knew how awesome the vamps are. The removal of ethereal really hurt the vamps. Hey, so much so that after what?- three years that the game is on the market - Baalz needs to come and make a claim that they are useful.
I don't care about ethereal but I want the awesome fear inspiring vamps back. It can be by way of increased strength and defense (they are described as inhumanly strong and fast), or 2nd form (wolf, bats whatever) or something else that fits thematically.
