Vampire Type Builds

Hello again!

My Vampire project has reached level-16 with my Stalker. The Dark/Dark build I've chosen is working well, and Hide and Placate simulate several vampire powers. I was concerned that getting my status protection so late would be a problem, but no major issues came up.

I can see now that this character will be very fun going forward. Life boost powers are next, and then Fear-based powers adding up from level 26 to 35. I expect most defenses to total near 30 after I slot I/O sets.

I am hopeful that my Fear fields will work as I expect. If so, then most targets will freeze a few seconds after I un-Hide. I can get Mag-4 easily on all targets, and Mag-6 plus on select targets.

Indeed this is not the only way to build a Vampire-type character. There are many paths to take depending on the background you want to simulate.

I had forgotten about the Underworld basis for Vampires. It certainly was a good one. What AT would you recommend for a DP or AR character? Blaster seems like the obvious choice, but I wonder if a Corruptor might make a better fit with the right power sets.

Thanks again for all the good feedback!

I'm going to make a Nosferatu when Bio Armor hits. He's going to be StJ/Bio which is perfect for a Nosferatu. I had a Malkavian and a Tremere but I deleted them...I might remake them soon.
I would have imagined Claws for a vampire.

My first choice for a vampire would be a human form Warshade. Most of the defensive powers are draining, and you can even turn enemy souls into pets. Oh, and you can turn yourself into mist.

My psychic adviser left a message on my machine. He says patience is a virtue for she who seeks a melee power set with lots of mezzes and perhaps a power pool themed to match. I wonder what that means.

My brother and I playing TW/Invul Brute and Kin/Water Fender lately. Fantasy/Armored vampires, not Gothic horror/White Wolf -like.

Stormistress
#1 DP/Cold Domination

#2 DP/Dark Miasma

#3 DP/Time

#4 DP/Storm

#5 DP/Kinetics

In that order...you could color Cold Domination into many things, and stuff like Heat Loss would look amazingly vampiric under those circumstances. You have the 2 Ice shield buffs to others in the set, but you could either skip them, or color them dark to be a dark barrier protecting allies.
