Construct Essence & Lesser Vampirism

[G1deon]

Have a single weapon fighting bastard sword using human artificer. Says to self, "keen bastard sword of lessor vampirism would be nice, lets craft one." Well I suppose you can guess where this is going. Hack on some unsuspecting mob and I get no healing. After doing some research on the forum, I am thinking it is because of the -25% healing amplification on Construct Essence (I am hoping). I am assuming that lesser vampirism on crafted items does work. Also hoping that it is not treating me as a construct and trying to give me +1 repair.

Does anyone know if adding 30% healing amplification to my human will make lesser vampirism start working? I can get the first two tiers of Healing amp from the human enhancements and get the other 10% from ship buff effectively making me 105% toward healing.

If I am in fact a construct (thought ddowiki says I am still my original race) I will never get to 100% repair so am just out of luck.

Just hoping someone might know if I can get this to work. It will be later this evening before I can reset my enhancements and try out the additional healing amp. At any rate I will post again after trying it to let those interested know the results.

Thanks

honestly never tried it with a negative HA or RA character. my advice is to try getting your HA at or above 100% and see if it works, my guess is that it would heal you with positve energy, or try a regular vampirism weapon, as lesser vamp only gives 1hp where as regular vampirism is 1-3, so even with a -50RA or -25HA you'll still see atleast at 1 of positive or repair every once in awhile with regular vamp.

Having just crafted such a shard for a guild member I can say that before the update yesterday lesser vampirism did work on crafted items. He was a pure monk build so I don't know about your case.

Thanks for your responses. I have not had a lot of experience with a char with less than 100% healing amplification.

I have reset my enhancements and taken the first two tiers of healing amplification. I also have the bath house amenity giving me an additional +10%. With +30% amplification the lesser vampirism works fine. If you have only 95% which I did with one tier and bath house, you get nothing. Would be nice for some rounding up but I guess that might be the penalty for going Construct Essence.

So get some amplification first then get your vampirism on.
