Aren't vampire only 120% damage? Why even max it then, it's weak like hell? 30% to 4 monsters and 60% with crit? It take ages to kill monsters then? :S Please tell me why we should max it D:

No one told you to max it

I have also been thinking why it's so important O_o Maybe it is a poison attack?

Crit doesn't double. It adds 100%.

Cos it KBs? and stuns while in use? So you won't die? And it can crit? And its close range?

Its is like the night lord's ninja storm except it does not do that large kb but stuns and takes hp xP

its amazing. though its only "13%" damage at lvl 3, i can hit up to 1k damage combined at lvl 42. Id think its VERY useful for mobbing if you have no throwing space. It gives you time to fj out xP

I hits multiple times and KBS and gives you HP. And is Close Range, mobs, and can hit Criticals. Don't ask for more.

Critical isn't +100%; it's defined as 200% of the damage you would have done, or double. Otherwise, skills that did low percentage of damage would still be overpowered, because crit would instantly put them up past 100% damage again. Let's say you throw a normal 1k damage, max crit and 1 vampire (10% or 11% dmg, cant remember, lets pretend its 10%). If you throw all normals, you do 100+100+100+100 = 400 dmg per monster. If you throw all criticals, you do 1100+1100+1100+1100 = 4400 dmg per monster? WTF? Not only is the spread ridiculously high, but the critical hits are ridiculously overpowered. So it would have to be double, so the purposefully nerfed skills wouldn't still have the potential to be crazily powerful.

Critical makes the damage skyrocket. @above Obviously the skill description never lies ._. the critical formula is the same for bowmen, it's 100% more, that's why double shot is preferred over arrow blow.

It's an early mobbing skill with the drain effect that gains a lot of power from crits. What's not to like?

NotAwesome said: "It's an early mobbing skill with the drain effect that gains a lot of power from crits. What's not to like?" This. It's weak as hell without crit and unstable as hell without mastery but overall it's a great skill. I have level 16 Vampire, and when I added 2 crit on my last level my max damage for a single hit nearly doubled. By the way, on average, it'll do 320% damage to each monster.
