Spells: Shadow Knights & Vampiric Embrace

[Hakurou]

So today I feel like shooting myself in the foot as I just got this spell, but in classic (and probably even today) shadow knights get a toned down proc version of Vampiric Embrace. Currently they're using the way too powerful necro version.

Originally, SOE just wanted to have hybrid spells be retreads of parent caster spells.



Thus, the only hp drain proc we received was "Vampiric Embrace."



The problem for SOE was that the Necro version was super powerful for SK's, since unlike Necro's, SK's actually you know melee. So, what they ended up doing was sneakily making two versions of the same spell that were called by the same name -- Vampiric Embrace.

Yeah I know Lucy data:

vs

Logic bonus: Why would SKs get a downgrade to their proc in Velious (50 dmg, vs the current 70ish dmg)?
