It just has some things which feel a bit clunky or which make you feel squishy like:- You have no use for constitution, which makes your HP in low levels quite a bit weak. You can choose one of the backgrounds to fix it, but it should not depend on a specific background.- Level 3 to level 7 you have 1 way to spend a healing surge but only 1 way to get an additional one, making that option more of a trap. (Which makes a lot of people multiclass and trade the level 3 with another classes power)- The level 5 ultimate which is risky, but really interesting, never improves which is a bit of a shame- The level 9 ultimate which is cool feels feels always a bit bad in the sense that you need to - the level 13 gives an additional healing surge, but because of your level 1 passive you never want to use your own healing surges anyway. - The really cool level 16 utility power needs a standard action (instead of a minor similar things normally use), which again as a striker you dont really want to use.- There is no real damage increase from level 12 until level 17, but than at level 17 there is a huge powerspike. - One of the 2 paragon paths has a really really bad ultimate ability (at level 20) not fitting a striker at all.I really think the vampire is a cool class, and agree that it is functional (no idea why so many people thought it was not), there are just some small tweaks which make it from a cool "functional" class into a cool great class.</blockquote>
