Vampiric Weapons..Are......Freaken....AWESOME!!! (There, Masamune.I finally admitted it

)

Up until now, I didn't know they dealt 3 additional damage until I fought a sin with them in AB.I usually thought you only gain 3 health from them, so I never bothered.
But after I tried out a vamp wep, I found out that they are really good utility when used in conjunction of a zealous wep.Getting to my point:Would anyone happen to have any ideas for uses of a vamp wep on a war?I was thinking of an atunment build or something..

I generally run elemental, vamp, zealous with my weapons. Elemental for dealing with other wars (or if I'm running conjure), vamp for general hitting or when conjure is down, zealous to get my energy back.

you can't really use a conjure with vamp (since the conjure requires it's own element), but you can probably mix it with soh (having another player drop it on you).

What skill is SoH though?

strength of honor i think.

though honestly i find that i do more dmg with vamp with nerfs of conjure spells. I do bring a ele weapon though
its just ebon
vamp for attacking anyone but warriors
ebon for standing around/kiting/healing out of combat
zelous for attacking but to get energy back

Pressure.
Extra armour-ignoring damage = win.

Vamp works insanely well with any warrior build with an IAS when you don't need energy (in which case you should be running Zealous).

Frenzy's upkeep is just fine without, as you end up with max energy after the 5 seconds.

It is well known that vamp/ele/zealous is by far the best for pvp, but what about pve? Are these worth it when you are with h/h out fighting in say HM pve? Assuming you are not running ursan in which case you need zealous.

That really goes just as well for PvE also. Except, theres no real need to go ele string unless your running conjure. Sticking with vamp/zealous (according to build) will work just as fine. Just remember to switch away from vamp while out of combat.
