Title: Spell damage vampire
Post by: Chromanin on July 09, 2013, 12:46:05 am
So, I've been using an aether/darkness deck for a while and I had immortalized a vampire then used the aether shard of wisdom on it; granting it an extra +4/0 and spell damage. I'm quite sure that I've witnessed my vampire dealing spell damage and life-stealing simultaneously before; however recently it seems the buffed vampire is no longer giving me hp. 

Note: The vampire still has the "vampire" ability text under the card and after the time immortality icon :time, it gained the aether icon indicating that it now does spell damage :aether.  Also, it IS attacking, no sundials, or lobotomizes or anything had been used on it. Just to clarify that this isn't just me making a mistake.

So... I'm curious as to whether vampires are not supposed to be able to lifesteal when they're dealing spell damage, I personally think that they should be able to. If not then the vampire text under the card should be removed.  If this is indeed a bug; and I hope it is, I'd really hope the game workers could help to solve it quickly.

(I'm a new user on the forums but I've been playing elements for a long time ( i have a fully upgraded deck).. sorry if this topic wasn't posted in the correct area, I thought it was though)

Vampires do not heal the owner when dealing spell damage. The vampire effect requires physical damage to activate.
Another ability that has the same property is venom.

I think it's a little silly myself, but this is working exactly as intended.
