Interesting quote I found in this article with Nick Konkle with Elder Scroll Off the Record: http://elderscrollsotr.mymiddleearth.com/2013/06/13/interview-with-nick-konkle-elder-scrolls-online/

Basically the bolded part is the part that caught my eye the most. So it seems that ZeniMax has made the Fighter's Guild tree to help fight players who decided to either become a Vampire or Werewolf. I think that's pretty awesome that they would do something like that. So if you are someone who likes to RP and really wants to spend your time hunting down those factions it seems the Fighter's Guild would be perfect for you. It really makes me want to learn more about being a werewolf or a vampire and if there are going to be downsides to becoming one of those.

What are your guys' feeling about this? Do you like that ZOS is using the Fighter's Guild to have abilities that will be useful against werewolves and vampires? What type of spells do you expect to see to combat them?

Hm I don't really like that it punish people for choosing to become a Vampire/Werewolf.

I dont think they are being punished as they will be getting very strong tools and abilities from being vampires and werewolfs. Everyone should have a counter part or weakness. To me it just sounds like what the fighter guild is bringing is the counter abilities to level the playing field or atleast help a little against vamps and wolves

Sounds to me like they could add abilities like "throw wooden stakes" or passives bonuses from your melee weapons being dipped in holy water (10% damage bonus vs vampires) Might also see things like "you now use silver arrow heads" (20% damage vs werewolves, 10% damage vs vampireswhen shooting a bow)

Interesting...

I think it's great news!!!!

Makes my undead hunter fantasy even more real, especially since now we know that the fighter's guild offers "extra's" to not only fight NPC's but players as well who have chosen to be vampires (or wolfs for that matter)!
