kKagari.6804 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I've tabulated the most common life force pool scenarios for PvP, showing the % of life force used for the Scourge's Shade abilities, for any theory crafters out there who may be interested in it. There are 4 scenarios involving amulets, and each have their own tables.There are generally 4 scenarios involving runes:Runes with no vitalityRunes with +36 all statsRunes with +100 vitality (usually the secondary stat in the rune set)Runes with +175 vitality (usually the primary stat in the rune set)There's also the Rune of Divinity of course, which is the anomaly in all of this. I didn't include it because I doubt many people use it.There are two modifiers to the above:Vital Persistence, and Strength of Undeath.https://imgur.com/9QspTSb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drarnor Kunoram.5180 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 That's incredibly helpful. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kKagari.6804 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 You're welcome! Now that I look at the table, it seems like being able to use Desert Shroud as a match opener seems to be a good sweet spot to build to. Perhaps dessicate as soon as the match starts, and again just as you reach the first team fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kKagari.6804 Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'll update this chart soon. It may need to wait until release because I can't seem to arrive at the same numbers Irenio has in his announcement today.i.e. how is the old nefarious favor cost, 15% of anything? If someone with more mastery points than me in Maths can figure it out, please do tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At level 80 you have 1000 in your primary attributes which included vitality meaning you get +10,000. Actual Necro base health is 9212. 15% of that is NF's cost. Its new cost is around 1934.

kKagari.6804 Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 No, Nefarious Favor's old cost was 1382 life force. 15% of the life force pool of 19212 health (13256) is 1988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right 9212Look at what he said about GP, it was 50%? What is 4606 50% of? Again its 9212. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drarnor Kunoram.5180 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 At least for F4 and F5, it's easy. They just swapped costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigmoid.7082 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 No worries. Its only gained effectively an extra 3% with VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
