Talk:Animate Vampiric Horror

Can o' worms
Do these horrors actually deal damage and give health to the master, or do they steal health from the target for its master? This is important because life stealing is not damage. F G 00:00, 7 April 2006 (CDT)
 * I'd say go with the description text unless there is proof otherwise. Because the description would've been much shorter if it were worded as "steals health", I think it was intentionally using the word "damage". -SolaPan 00:07, 7 April 2006 (CDT)
 * I believe they do not steal health, because if they did, it would be so overpowered if you had just 5 of them. Besides, the description leads us to believe the only reason they are called "Vampiric Horrors" is that the owner gets health when they attack, sort of like Live Vicariously without having the maintainence cost or need to cast it. --Life Infusion 13:54, 9 April 2006 (CDT)
 * I used them, the yellow numbers changed while attacking casters or high armor targets. So i'd assume it's damage, and the equal amount is the health you get. Life stealing would mean same yellow numbers, no matter which target. Just my thoughts. --Nemren


 * One a slightly related note, how do Vampiric Horrors interact with skills like Aura of Faith, Life Attunement, and Scourge Healing? I can't get ahold of anyone to test it with anytime soon. --Kit Engel 10:36, 28 August 2006 (CDT)

Quest Aquisition
This skill is tagged in the quick reference as being aquirable from a quest, but no mention is made of what quest. Was it tagged in error?
 * Maybe. There's no reward listed for Old Friends, Dark Times but there should be one.  I think if it's not that quest, then it's an error.  --68.142.14.3 01:59, 19 June 2006 (CDT)

No related skills?
---> is too busy atm, but aren't the other summoning ones related? -Auron  19:40, 26 August 2006 (CDT)
 * other then being animate, not really. i'd say more vampiric spirit and such. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 20:02, 26 August 2006 (CDT)

Scourge Healing
The Scourge Healing page says it *does* do damage to a necro with Vampiric Horrors. One of the pages is wrong.... -Rukh 03:40 21 September 2006 (EST)
 * Didn't when I tested it. I tried scourge on the necro, and scourge on the horror. Neither of them cause damage to anyone, as far as I can tell. --Kit Engel 13:01, 20 September 2006 (CDT)
