Notes[edit]
- This skill creates a Spirit of Vampirism that uses the Vampirism attack skill.
- The attacks used by this spirit steal life, so it does not receive the bonus damage from Signet of Ghostly Might.
- The amount which you are healed will always be the same because Vampirism heals you. The amount of health left on a target only affects how much the spirit is healed by the life stealing, not how much you are healed. Therefore, additional life stealing from Spiritleech Aura does not give additional healing to you.
Anomaly.Contrary to the description, the healing from this skill is gained through life stealing rather than a heal. Therefore, the heal is unaffected by hexes that reduce healing such as Lingering Curse or Defile Flesh, and the spirit will not take damage from healer-punishing hexes such as Scourge Healing or Soul Bind. Anomaly.The distance of healing is much greater than spirit range and it seems that healing covers all the current location.
Bug.The Spirit of Vampirism's attack skill is a monster skill independent of the Sunspear rank. Unlike the progression of other Sunspear skills after the May 17, 2012 update, Vampirism's life stealing continues to follow the progression prior to that update (i.e. maximum effectiveness is reached at Sunspear rank 10 instead of 5) even though the descriptions display 20 life stealing from rank 5 to 9.Trivia[edit]
- A vampire is a supernatural creature that lives off the blood (or "lifeforce") of others. In some Slavic and Eastern European folklore, the term can be synonymous with ghost, spirit, or ghoul.
- The functionality of this skill has changed since its introduction; see its skill history for details.
