Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[AugustusSB]

This is a really newbie question. But I've just never personally tested this and have grown kind of a unnatural disdain for this ability due to my ignorance/laziness.

Bloodbath, I know it heals for a % of your damage. But based on the tooltip I've always interpreted it as the % it heals is actually TAKEN AWAY from your damage.

For example, lets say you did 100 damage with ability x. When ability x is used while Bloodbath is up, you receive 25hp as heals and the damage you actually do is 100-25 = 75.

Please tell me I am wrong as it seems to be the case haha

I don't think it takes away from your damage. I don't use it on Drg but have it macro'd into to my Butcher's Block combo for War so it's pretty much always up. That's interesting though, it does say "Converts 25% of damage to HP", which would seem to imply it does lower damage.. Not sure lol

It doesn't take away, just calculates 25% of the damage you deal and heals you. Source: just went and tested it.
Would be better if they updated the tooltip to say Heal or something instead of Convert.

There's nothing ambiguous or misleading in this skill. It "Converts 25% of the damage dealt" (read: DEALT, as in, damage that's already been done, aka post-damage) "into HP".

That's true. It was never ambiguous to me, it's just that AugustusSB thought it may have meant something else and I wonder if they're not alone on that.
Also to 'convert' means to change to something else so it's a reasonable thought.

On a side note, I love using Bloodbath when there's AoE to be done and I need some HP. All those lovely numbers.

Allagan Trousers Of Maiming alludes me for yet another week. Still don't have any drops from T1. I'm starting to think that Cad hates me for some reason.
