Make Blood of Life better

#1 Post by jenx »

atm, all your sustains go off, etc, so it is very rarely a life saver in my experience. what is the point of bringing back to life a character that is then just about able to be killed by anyone?

i suggest we make it a better buff....

Doesn't it bring you back at full health. While it likely won't be as useful in the middle of a big boss fight, it should give you enough legroom to possibly duck out of sight for a moment and re-up your sustains and buffs.

You frequently can't do anything as your escapes are on cooldown already, which is why you died and then all your sustains get put on cooldown.
It can be quite useless.

If you got one shot it gives you enough time to escape afterwards, which is good enough imo. If you - up and made bad decisions you deserve to die again.

Usually if facing something that kills you and you respawn, rather than trying again it's a good idea to run away, which you don't necessarily need sustains to do.

ummm, the point is, you can't escape, you can barely do anything, as all your sustains are off. if typically gives 1-2 more turns of hp, with no way of getting your char back on track.

A lot of characters have some means of escape that doesn't rely on sustains. If your class doesn't have such a talent you could have an inscription that will help with that.

Except if you had one to use, you would have used it and not died.

not if you got one shot entering LoS of the dude, and if you aren't getting one shot how are you dying?

I agree with jenx and HousePet here, making it send you to the Eidolon Plane would be nice.

Personally I don't think it should send you to the Eidolon Plane. It isn't the Eidolon saving you when you use a Blood of Life - it is a Blood of Life saving you. There should be a distinct difference.

At most, maybe have it so that when you resurrect, something special could happen. Maybe you could gain a massive speed buff or the Invulnerability Potion effect.
