VA Questions (in General)

Why does my VA not always proc, some battles it proc's every hit some battles it proc's only on the first hit, some battles hit and miss.

It proc'd every hit on Mephisto except the last hit which doesn't matter since the battle was over. it proc'd on the double hits also.

but when hitting melchizedek it only proc'd on the first hit, not the second, and not the third.

It doesn't draw if the minion is already dead. Your first hit killed the first minion and it draws based on damage done but is capped at the amount of HP the opposing minion does. Same goes for the last hit on the second minion, where you only leeched 2658.

*Amount of HP the opposing minion has.

Like GA, VA will only work if the target has HP remaining.

The first hit on melchizede killed that minion therefore there were no more HP to VA.

Vs Mephisto, that minion had hp all the way to the last hit, which of course killed that minion and ended the battle.

Also, if you look at the % hp you leeched, for Mephisto it's 30-40% except the last 2 hits. The 2nd to last killed that minion, the very last the minion was already dead.

Vs melchizede you only did 13% which means tha minion was pulverized by your first hit.

No, My first hit didn't kill him. how could it have. My second hit didn't kill him either, it won't let me hit a dead character 3 times.

My first hit, leech, second hit, no leech not dead, third hit dead. i can understand my third hit not leeching. as i even stated. but the second hit should leech.

I know that you can't leech from a dead character.... but my point is i see this second hit not leeching in multiple battles, against a few people.

Oh and ranger im pretty sure it only leeched 13% because my VA isn't trained high enough for the damage done.

my VA is only trained to lvl 107k which is just over half of the 177k damage done.

EG#2
Tank crushed melchizedek [128,527]

Tank pulverized melchizedek [40,535]
melchizedek's Magic Missile hit MWall [64,470]
R.I.P. melchizedek

THIS battle the second hit killed him. the EG#1 the second hit did not kill him. Im not crazy, something else is at play or a glitch is in place, I should eithe be leeching on the second hit, or Im hitting a dead minion multiple times for no reason.

First hit, leech, second hit, no leech, third hit dead.

You can still hit a dead minion if you have enough cth. It's not going to let you hit the next minion. First hit kills the minion and you leech accordingly. The next 2 hits do not do anything. You should post how much the enchanter casts for AS as well.

Hildegarde cast Ablative Shield on melchizedek (150,441)

I am also guessing that you reached your max HP on the times that you did not hit over his full HP, thus you don't get any more HP from the leech.

that makes no sense at all, so picture my character beating on a dead body... come on.. that dumb. if the first hit kills the minion, round over just like eg#2. If i have enough cth for 5 hits, and the first hit kills the minion my character is going to hit the dead character 4 more times... what just to make sure its dead....

and if that were true then why don't i triple hit on that character every time..

if his AS only casts for 60k against you, then why would you do 240k damage on a minion with 60k HP? The answer should be fairly obvious, you can still hit the minion in the same round even if you kill it.

The math also works out. If you notice on all your attacks you're draining about 1/3 of the damage done except when the target's HP is lower than your damage. If you say 60k is what his AS casts for, then your first hit should be around 20k no matter what your damage is.

Yeah.. or it would mean that high damage/multi hits is even more dangerous than it already is.
