This thread will be dedicated to vampires and maybe some werewolf build speculations and which class would be the best to play as a vampire.
I encourage all to contribute! !
I want an mmorpg where there are people roleplaying in game. An mmo with a good community and as always awesome gameplay.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.
Entirely depends on your concept. If melee then you must take at least a melee weapon but you will likely conceptually want a lot of magicka use as well. In that case you really have an open choice but I have my favs.
The typical evil'ish vamp with dark themed powers:
- You of course will have the Vampire skill line.
- If DragonKnight: You have access to many fire based attacks if you think that fits. More melee to mid range like fire breath, lava whip, inferno, access to at least one regen power and lots of tank like abilities if you want to be tough as nails.
- If Templar: Honestly that would be a strange vampire but up to the user.
- If Sorc: The Daedric summoning line fits great if you want summons. Dark magic sounds like it would fit but honestly the only power that sounds "vampirish" is Dark Exchange (drains stam to get more magicka and health). If into the many types of vampires like World of Darkness then Storm Calling may fit.
-If Nightshade: I find this had the best synergy with most vampire concepts. Most may think sorc but nightshade in this game is more of the drain/dot mage if built that way. Damn near everything from Shadow line fits and everything from Siphoning fits. You could still combine some melee with it or concentrate on magic using light armor and a resto staff You don't have to take the healing spells from the staff but the passives for the resto staff work SO well with nightshade siphon spells. Tons of dots (also aoe is mostly dot aoe ... you can dip into Assassination for Teleport Strike which morphs to an aoe as well) tons of cc, tons of drains. You could make a dps heavy build or even be a Vampire healer
. Sadly I have not seen the Vampirism skill set yet anywhere and only assuming they will fit this theme. I also have no clue how much freedom you will end up having when becoming a Vampire.
The nightshade I mention here (nightshade mage) is the character I would like to explore to be honest if I end up trying the game at release. The vampire skill line I hope, as mentioned, fits the concept but even if it doesn't the Dark Brotherhood guild when added may work well too and many of the skills lines open to everyone have options to take from.
Let it be known I have no idea if it is even possible to make a 100% pure caster in game or you are forced to use a stamina skill choice (i.e. melee/bow). I would love to be able to have a pure caster only or I sure hope other weapon options enter game to fit the theme I want. I'd rather swap between magicka based skill sets on my bars than forced to use melee/bow but I'll adjust if needed, if playing.
(all this info available on sites outside of beta ... granted I cannot confirm how they came about this knowledge)
You stay sassy!
