Leveling guide

[Lieva]

roll a vamp

keep your SM one level lower than you are and put rest into pierce

(i,e if your 20 then 19 SM rest pierce)

until you ding 40 then respec to 40 pierce rest SM
this is so you can get eye shot as soon as you ding 43. Believe me its worth it. And youll be out of the wiffy zone (see below) by then so wont need spells as much.

you will need aurulite armour or Sced armour. The catacombed mobs are too hard for an unspellcrafted char (i.e the level 20 freebie stuff is defo now redundant)

can get to 50 with /played 7 days at least

oh yes

13-35 your vamp will be in the 'wiffy zone'
This means it will miss quite alot on weapons so youll basically be nuking stuff with your claw xp still just as quick though
Shar have this the worst however luri tend to have a minor version of the wiffy zone
not sure about celts

whilst in the wiffy zone however the only thing youll be able to do is nuke and heal yourself. you wont be gaining any power so waste of time to use on buffs. (the parry one may be worth it when you get your tarantula style for the parry attack)

least - the above is what i experienced

when you get to 40 as people have said, the xp drops visably!
from one bubb per clear TD task to less

TD to watch out for

TNM TDs - these are a pain. the mobs are behind doorways and youll pull 2 at least once per TD . also they come through walls.

North Entrance TNN - if you get a gnome KT just dont bother (unless its a named). They hit for loads and have a fair bit HP

Mag Mell - corpse candles are hard. keep power for heal if needed

Best TDs

North Entrance TNN - some of the KT there have kill a named mob who lives right at the entrance easy xp

North Entrance TNN - Faeries thats just a fun one to do rare though. only had it twice


49+ there are a couple of Mini quests you can do that will give you half a bub for little work
and the mine cart race - but you might wanna save that and ding in style

To be honest, playing a Vampiir is pretty self explainatory. The only technical thinking needed is deciding where you should as you said, pull with powertap or not pull with powertap.

i even found a lot of the mobs in instance task dungeons, despite being aggro, didnt actually aggro. could easily get close enough for end tap.
If you dont have 10s to waste, but have quite a long pull distance you can use one of the lvl 1 VE or Dem DD's.

However if you want to roll a bainshee you full spectral to 50 and then respec. Once again, instances is the best unless you get into a fins group, hard though unless you have 2 accounts with a pbaoe/fop/animist on the other account.

The pbae snare is amazingly handy for solo instances as it can be tricky to kill the mobs before they reach you.

go to instanced dungeons where u get those auralites (or what their called) Keeps u with ok gear til 40+, and gives nice xp. imo do those instanced and the cata quests all the way. Just continue do the instanced til u can't get in anymore, then move to next dungeon and do them there. First i think is in muire, then move to spraggon a.s.o. Make a run through cata once in a while and finish off the quests there.
GL and HF with ur vamp
