Anyone feel like Vampiric Grip is really finicky or is it ju

Post » Mon Nov 19, 2012 6:28 pm

So first off let me say that I absolutely love my Vampire Lord and love everything anout my Nord vampire (save the fact I wish I had those awesome gold eyes instead of the red ones)

But anyway, I adore the Vampiric Grip and feel like an absolute god using it but I can't help but feel it is really finicky when it comes to using it. I usually need to keep using it for a few seconds and run the targetting retucule over my target 2-3 times before it latches on and grabs them. Also the drain effect sort of turns on and off as they spin in place in front of me, I find twitching a bit to the right or left helps start it up again and...yeah. Is it just me? Or am I perhaps using it wrong in some way?

Yeah it's kinda problematic to use, the aiming area feels a bit too small and sometimes just doesnt work. Yesterday I picked up a random chicken and threw it, and his buddy chicken was for some reason immune to it.

Works for the most part if you use it at point blank range and is pretty damn fun though.

I have found that you can usually make it work if you aim at the head of your victim. But, it sure will be a heck of a lot easier to use on PC.

I think it works for me, but there is no way to be sure with all my bat minions. It does drain faster with vampiric grip, though.

Remember, Vampiric Grip does not do much Choking damage at all.
