Effect
A Vampiric weapon upgrade provides the following bonus to the weapon (the user respectively):


 * Health gain on hit: 1-3 for Axes, Swords, Daggers and Spears, but 1-5 for Hammers, Bows and Scythes
 * Health Regeneration: -1 (i.e. -2 health per second)

Every time a Vampiric weapon hits a foe the attacker will gain the specified amount of Health. This damage occurs irrespective of target armor and attacker weapon mastery, making vampiric upgrades most valuable simply for extra damage.

To balance the life stealing, Vampiric weapons always come with -1 Health Regeneration, which continues as long as you have the weapon equiped. When not in combat it is advisable to switch to another Weapon Set.
