life absorb broke?

[graodon]

yeah its kinda irritating bcz i hve 13% life and mana steal and max hp absorb of 79 and mp absorb of 69.

i do above 700 dmg on skills but not a single hp is restored whn i use skills...

does life absorb only effect on special skills or sword/magic skills as well?

if nto then why dnt i heal at all..i died a couple of tiems bcz of tht

[graodon]

sry i meant whirlwind and terra break

what's your level and your HP/MP?

If your HP/MP are low, then that makes the cap (the max you can steal per hit) very low and you may be stealing hp back but it's so small that you don't notice it, especially if your getting hit by multiple mobs during the process.

More importantly, WA attacks are so slow that vamping at low levels isn't really worth it unless your hitting a large amount of mobs at once....if your hitting 1 or 2 targets only or just a single boss, vamp is practically worthless in that situation. You will have hard time noticing any hp being stolen if your not hitting a lot of mobs at once.

and you only really need about 4%...13% is overkill

there is a limit. just as stated above you need no more than 4-5 percent so stop wasting money and time getting 13

whal lvl are u, and how come ur only hitting 700?

[Rowe]

I'm pretty sure he's only like 75-100 lvl considering his HP and he referenced RS

[graodon]

yeh low lvl hp low btu still not a single hp tht jst sux

[Rowe]

i notice HP steal alot. 3-5% is all you need.

then use vamp. like vamp earrings and a vamp ammy

then you will really notice the hp restore from attacking mobs.

There are three numbers that you have to be aware of when it comes to Vamp.

#1. Max HP Absorb Limit

This is 5% of your total HP. If you have 3000 HP, the highest you can get your HP Absorb / hit is up to 150, regardless of what gear you have. This means that even if you have gear that puts your HP Absorb Up over 150, everything after 150 is useless. To increase this number, simply increase your total HP.

#2. HP Absorb Limit

This is the maximum HP that you can absorb / hit / mob. The base amount of this number is your level / 10. For example, this means that at level 100, without any gear that increases your HP Absorb Up, you will be able to absorb a maximum of 10 HP / hit / mob. This means that if you had 5% HP Absorb, and you dealt 1000 to 3 mobs, you would only Absorb 30 HP, even though 5% of 1000 x 3 = 150. Examples of gear that increase this number are Vampiric Earrings, Vampiric Amulet, gear with HP Absorb Up, or gear that has "of Vampire" or "of Bloods[ize=2]uck[/size]ing" craft.

#3. HP Absorb %

This is quite straight-forward. It's the % of your damage that you absorb back / hit / mob.

Example:

Level 180 character, 4000 HP, with two Vampiric Earrings +7.

Max HP Absorb Limit = 200 (0.05 x 4000).
HP Absorb Limit = 108 (45 x 2 + [180/10]).
HP Absorb % = 3% (lets just say he has a max HP Absorb % rune).

If this character were to use a skill (Whirlwind, for example), and it did 4000 damage to 10 mobs, without any limits he would Absorb 1,200 HP (0.03 x 4000 x 10). However, because he can only Absorb 108 HP (versus the 120 he WOULD be Absorbing with a higher HP Absorb Limit), he Absorbs 1080.

In your case, these numbers are probably much smaller, and you're probably taking a fair amount of damage, so you probably ARE absorbing back HP, you're just not noticing it because it's a negligible amount. If, for example, you don't happen to have any gear that increases your HP Absorb Limit, you're Absorbing less than 10HP / mob / hit (assuming you're less than level 100) even though you have 13% HP Absorb.
