I don't mind Shadowers getting FJ, but they didn't need Shadow Partner since that was supposed to be an exclusive star-throwing class game mechanic. And considering Shadowers inherited two skills from NL's, what did NL's inherit from them? Nothing! Would have been nice if they got Meso Guard or something. I would totally dump all the points from Shadow Web into Meso Guard.
But back on topic.
Vampire in my opinion was never a good skill even pre-BigBang. Sure, it helps with the Venom stacking and lets you do upscale fast killing for training, but that fast killing still does not beat Poison Bombing multiple channels for Crimson Guardians. The only time it was ever good in my opinion was fighting Windraiders since Windraiders had a knockback requirement of 0 damage (yes, even misses would knockback Windraiders). When it comes to mobbing, Avenger is tons better because it works with Shadow Partner. When it comes to training with venom, poison misting is still better. When it comes to healing, the old 10% of damage heal was so low that it didn't matter and was better to just use a Potion and secure your safety.
