Anyone want to clarify this point?

My apologies if I was unclear:

Although I'm tempted to say Vampires need more than just a nerf to Darkness Resist

They don't fit in well with the other Races and how they play their strengths. You have too much that's too good for the price you pay (you cannot justify a weakness to Light for it all, not just meaning this in reference the Darkness Resist. I mean their Charm Strength and their on-hit Hesitation Infliciton (both = Scaled SAN), their RP Immunity to death in 99-out-of-99 situations. The fact they're the only Race who gains a bonus that matters from their bonus WIL (from Sanguine Crest specifically, refer to my recent Lupine thread if you'd like to know more of why this irks me).

These are the MAJOR things that need changing (the one about WIL bonus from Sanguine Crest --outside-- of battle, where you can heal and actually have it count instead of it just being a higher cap and reduced percentage (I.E. you have 50/100 FP, which is 50% FP and then trigger your Lupine Racial which bumps it to 50/105, or 47.6% - this is more impactful when it's with bigger numbers, like +10 WIL/+50 FP at 25% HP on a 40 SAN Lupine who typically has a low FP cap).

This is something more Races who have gained Wil from Racial Skills should have.

Increasing the ratio to 1:5 or 1:6 (Resist per Essence) would be a nice place to start.

This was in response to prior posts, please refer to the first three (?) posts in the thread. If it needs to be said, I meant only Darkness Resist when I said this.

I'm a bit confused how it currently adds up to 74% Resist (I get 66.6--% with the current 1:3 ratio, 40% Resist in the 1:5 ratio and 33.3--% with a 1:6 ratio).

Slydria said the current Darkness Resist Vampires can gain from Essence alone is currently 74% yet the way I calculated it (200/3=x), it comes out to 66.6-repeating percent (66.66666%) IF we're going off the 50 Scale SAN Vampires that everyone likes.

The following bits were in reference to possible avenues of increasing the amount of Essence needed per point of Dark Resist.

EDIT: Thank you Sly, that makes a lot more sense now. I completely forgot to account for regular bonuses to Elemental Resists from SAN. Q_Q
