Vitality absorption with SK/Vamp

[Immune]

I was just wondering, does vitality absorption, which causes damage to be drained as hp, have any effect on SK or vampirism? For instance, VA 5 with SK 5 = 1100 hp instead of 1000? Has anyone tested this before?

No, Vitality Absorption doesn't work with spells like vampirism and soulkeeper... at least not the last time I tested it.

^Can confirm. Vamp and SK work as some sort of "health lost" thing instead of "damage dealt," or something similar. Same reason it doesn't work as you may expect against retal.

Retal do works on soulkeeper. If retal is lvl 4 and SK lvl 5, it will give u just 75hp per second, instead of 100.

I'm not sure how you can call that working as expected...

Never said "working as expected" but it does, retail lvl 4 returns 75% of the damage, sk lvl 5 drains 100 hp. Do ur maths and u will see it works as it should.

Well to quote "it doesn't work as you may expect against retal" and then respond with "Retal do works on soulkeeper" rather strongly implies that you think it works as expected

If it worked correctly in the situation you describe, it would deal 25 damage per second to the archer, and deal 50 per second to the warlock (75 dps from retal - 25 dps from sk drain). This is not the case though, and that's all I meant. I'm not sure you've "done ur maths" quite right

If I inflict 100 damage and you use Retal (4) which reflects 75% of the damage (which means you should only receive 25 damage).... how is it working "as it should" if you say you receive 75 damage while the warlock regains the same amount?

Please explain ur maths

Edit: Van beat me to it.

Hmm prolly i got confused by the colours of damages and it gives u only 25hp? Be back as soon as an archer cast retal on my sk
