Question about VA (in General)

a maug warrior cast Vampiric Aura on a maug warrior (0.425)

Does this mean at full trained VA will leech back 42.5% of the HP you do, given your opponent still has that many HP left?

that display is a bug... and I doubt it has a thing to do with percentage

i believe, the 0.425 doesnt change into a percentage. i believe it gets cast for 0.425 of its full effect. its full effect is 40%, so 0.425 should be 17% leech.
am i correct? :D

VA is based on damage done, so it can't give an effect % at the start of the round.

This is just a display bug.

the Leech is based upon damage done, but it has to be a % of the damage dealt.

Your VA level is compared to each individual bit of damage done, and this works out how much you leech for. So you cannot be given an 'overall' leech percent age at the start of the round.

on average, your leech is a given % :|, which is partly focussed on enemy HP to. if your enemy has plenty of HP left, it should be a % of your damage dealt. if your hitting more damage then your enemy has as HP, it will be a % of enemy HP...

Display is definitely bugged. I was fighting some tank and i had completely gimped his DX and Str and the number was still 0.425.

Quyen, what they're saying is that the % leech will not be the same if I hit for 750k, and then 1M (Unless the VA is big enough to max out the 1M leech). The damage for each individual hit is compared to the VA level to get the VA effect, and THAT value is translated into your leech %, not the value that is displayed at the beginning of the fight.

Which is also limited by your targets remaining HP. ;)

VA is 236375/595,571=39.68% for the first first hit.

I see some VA as low as 32% and the highest about 40%.

Also, we need to have san put in the spell check as it comes up repeatedly when one is posting a battle vs a jiggy. This makes the formatting of battle reports suboptimal and limits the ability of those who cannot use HTML very well to post battle reports.

The maximum you can leech with VA is 40%.

It can be lower than this. It can also be so low you take damage from your own VA.

VA needs to display '?', like it used to, as the percentage it can give changes form hit to hit.

isnt that when your VA is lower than 2000 or so? :S

Or when you face things like a DM that's enough to lower it, but not enough to fizzle it.
