Talk:Order of the Vampire

From Guild Wars Wiki

I've always wondered... How did they arive at 17% Sacrifice? Why not 15 or 20%? 1/6 rounded

I'd say they just came up with a number roughly where they wanted it. Or maybe they got bored with having reasons for sacrifice amounts.Veltas Vandegere 19:22, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Is there any strategic use for this skill that isn't immediately showing itself to me? PizzaboyFaul 09:24, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

To answer both of your questions, it is 17% like spirit light, the happy medium. The main use for this is Barrage. get 5 barragers, and +17 lifestealing/damage for healing and extra damage to barragers. Justing6 15:16, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I find this skill very beneficial at later points in the game in missions when the bosses are basically tanks or the only group you can find can't deal damage efficiently enough. 72.45.52.232 23:19, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

To be exact, in GW world, 17% is the half of 33% that is to say a third. Now, you have you your one of six ;) Noctarch 22:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Does this work with MM's? Shireen 01:51, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Minions are allies, not party members. Your looking for Order of Undeath--Ryudo 01:52, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Why is this skill good? Allowing each ally to get healed for 13-16 for their next health isn't that amazing. That's not very much health at all. Added that this is an elite and has health sacrifice, it makes me go "lol wut"? Anyone want to explain? --72.150.25.88 19:47, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

uh, it's not about healing. it's about buffing a team with a lot of physicals to do loads more domage. it's elite because it's like order of pain but lifestealing is better than bonus domage. 71.230.145.170 15:20, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Only against damage prevention because bonus damage ignores armor. A pity that the vampirer's Order cannot be kept up. Noctarch 07:19, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Physical damage required

This skill says the attack has to be a physical one, so obviously skills which change your damage type (like Grenth's Grasp, Staggering Force, Dust Cloak, Judge's Insight etc) stop it from working on you. So how come it still works with Avatar of Grenth? Is this a bug or something?86.24.149.167 20:56, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

It is, indeed. Grenth's Avatar does not grant you cold damage though stated (which makes it even worse).Noctarch 02:09, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
