Losing Lifeforce on swapping maps.

I'm not sure why this is happening. Every time I map I lose 8 to 10% life force for seemingly no reason. I'm not hitting skills. I probably wouldn't notice but I'm currently crafting legendary so I'm swapping maps frequently.

There is a known issue with using the soul reaping trait line which causes life force to decrease every time you swap maps. They know about it but can't fix it due to spaghetti code. It has been there since the launch of the game as far as I know.

Haven't seen it happen before. First time for me. And I've been playing since almost launch. But the trait system was very very different back then so its a bit hard to believe.

Yep, been there since release. Personally I thought it was due to core maps cap level impacting the necromancer's max health pool but keeping LF at the same amount. At least that's what the tests I did in 2012 seemed to show.

It's just a byproduct of Soul Reaping specialization.

You load into a map, then get affected by Soul Battery which then increases your max LF. This leads to a loss of overall LF, especially if you were full.

Without Soul Reaping specialization equipped, this issue does not occur due to no Soul Battery interaction.

Yeah, it's normal.

Yes, "Normal".
