Life Link Armor..like Life Tree Shoes?

[Namine]

Don't even compare the crap known as life link to (what should have been) one of the top tier footwear options in the game.

Regen % doesn't apply to your entire regeneration which is a pity, as it only applies to your max hp portion and not your vit portion. From the math side of things:

HP Recovery = [([Vit/5] + [MaxHP/200])*RecoveryMods].

Life Link will change it so you have a recovery modifier of 1.5. So assuming you have 12k hp, vit of 97 and life link as your only recovery modifier, you will regen 109.4 HP every 6 seconds (sitting means this occurs every 3 second. Tension relax change it so you regen that every second.)

So all life link did, assuming you have 12k hp, is a measly 30 hp increase in regen per second even under tension relax. Congratulations on a boost of regen that results to 0.25% of your hp...?

HP recovery modifiers are additive in nature. Adding a wooden golem card to your life link will boost the regen by 18 HP only in that scenario above.

All in all, super underwhelming.


Life Tree Wooden Shoes in the *current* heRO coding, allows you to use Heal spell with 5% boost. Luckily, HP can use it to boost their heal even more while retaining a very respectable max hp boost, thus making it very worthwile (same applies to paladins who can use heal of course). Another boost is that it's *the* best footwear for retro woe, with a natural bulk of 4 def, non-trans-friendly, and 10% max hp without cards. A heal boost on top of that makes it the unparalleled retro woe shoes from the gods.


Life Tree Wooden Shoes with the "original" script will not give a boost to using Heal, but instead all incoming heal gets boosted by 5%. This becomes the godsend to devotion Paladins as all your fish, potions of all kinds, pitched pots, heals, sanctuary are boosted a 5% directly at all times. Really this is super beneficial to all classes that receive heals frequently or spam potions, greatly reducing cost of items in WoE and increase your survivability by quite a bit because your pot spam is that much better (therefore, forcing your opponent to step it up in DPS to overcome your heal spam, and allows you to recover from a burst damage much faster.)


Either version of life tree wooden shoes will give you more recovery than like a lackluster at-most ~40 hp regen every 6 seconds when you aren't sitting. Even a +3 vit stat enchant life link will be hardpressed to find its niche because you aren't going to refine it to a +7 to get enough def out of it, even though +5 vit armor will save you plenty of stat points.
