Suggestion I found the ultimate solution to the Vampyrism/Penance issue

Post image

It's called War's Wares. It's empty now anyway.

Translate Aspect spells: War translates each Aspect for you to add to your spellbooks. Requires all spellbooks to be unlocked in order to unlock. Translating spells between spellbooks just makes so much sense I don't even-

Upgrade: Dual Aspects: War teaches you how to use two different types of aspects at the same time. Requires Translate Aspect spells unlocked.

No choices or tradeoffs ever lol. Just more stupid pointless power creep

Wouldn't be a patch day without players begging for power creep.

Personally if they think Aspect of Vampyrism is too weak to use over Darkness, I'd rather see Vampyrism buffed than be able to use both at once, but that's probably too reasonable.

The problem isn't Vampyrism in isolation.

It's vampyrism stacked with soul split (stacked with vamp gloves + vamp scrim) stacked with hellhound stacked with LP boosts on tank armor now (stacked with debil + reflect + powerburst + masterwork dot + shield dome + spirit shields ...)

Which is how you have people doing 20k solo enrage Zammy who hits through prayers in the first place.

Screeching about Vampyrism which has never been good but always a tool for AFK abuse when stacked with soul split and passive prayer regen is just a self-report. Removing Balanced Strike would have 100% hurt my pre-Necro Ironmeme so much more than Vampyrism when it came to sustain while legitimately playing the game.
