I think this can be stolen from one of the elite enemies in the Elona's Reach Mission... Forgot his name though.

I was originally very skeptical of this skill... as a Warrior it costs me about 70 health to cast, and I'm only going to get 9 back on any strike.

Order of the Vampire isn't a healing spell. It's an offensive boost. Think of it as "For 5 seconds, all of your parties physical attacks do +9 damage. Oh, and there's some minor healing." Or +4, or +13, or whatever your skill puts it at.

Looking at it this way, I can afford to pay 70 health for something like this. I used it with great sucess taking out the 22 level Sand Wurms. (And if you care about health economics, for me each strike is a net gain of 18 health for my party. We only need to make 4 such strikes for the Order to pay off.)

I captured mine off the third Forgotten leader in the Thirsty river Mission. There's quite a few elites on them in that mission.

It's a good skill with a warrior heavy group but don't spam it or you'll just kill yourself. Otherwise, there are better elite skills out there.

Does the effect work on minions too? If it does work think about the destruction spamming Order of Vampire/Pain with an army of Bone Minions out can do. Then Taste of Death when you get low

I dont like the skill much, 5 seconds is not much time and the health + is not that great. Besides that you need a fitting team for it to work.

I've had great fun comboing this with Beserker Stance.

In my opinion, with a party of 8, this skill is absolutely devastating during a heated battle. Against high level people, it can nearly double total party damage for 5 seconds, and with quick attacking party it’s awesome. It’s like Order of Pain and Vigorous Spirit (for every member) for five seconds all packaged into one little sacrifice skill.

What about using this skill on a R group with barrage?

Knido · Sep 15, 2005, 03:17 AM // 03:17

live vicariously + vigorous spirit + order of the vampire + barrage is like 200 health per barrage if you get 5 shots in

unfourtunately, barrage and OOtV are both elites and you cant use em both at one time. if you could, it would be devestating.

rii · Sep 17, 2005, 03:41 PM // 15:41

erm..... you get say, 7 ra/mo, then one n/m to spam the orders and heal himself.

Knido · Sep 17, 2005, 04:07 PM // 16:07
