Metamorphosis Vampiric Power Updated

Metamorphosis is one of the best Vampiric Powers that was introduced in Diablo 4's season of blood. It grants the user the unstoppable state after dodging while Metamorphosis is equipped and your dash will also deal damage to units that you dash through. This Vampiric Power is often partnered with the Unique Pants Tibault's Will to repeatedly trigger Tibault's Will's damage increase.

Duration Will Now Stay at 2.5 Seconds at All Levels

Upgrading the Vampiric Power would mean that our downtime where we can use Metamorphosis' Unstoppable buff becomes slower which makes the combo with Tibault's Will weaker, which made players not upgrade the Vampiric Power at all. This change is aimed at making the combo better and putting the Vampiric Power's level to its dash damage instead. With this update, upgrading the said Vampiric Power will no longer have negative effects on your build.
