Ok I was recently on the SIF looking over the character section. And Saw some people were having problems with Vamps. Well I thought I would put my 2 cents in on this.
Basic skill structure for a Perma-Meele Vamp ( I will explain why )
level 1 Vamperism- Keep this maxed out
Weapon Lore - 50 points is all that is needed add more if you feel its nessacary
level 3 Concentration - 3/4's of toons level
level 6 Axe Lore or Sword Lore -
