Ok, a quick question, what does this mean:

Balthazar’s Spirit

While you maintain this "Enchantment", target ally gains adrenaline and Energy after taking damage.

This is rather vague and it is what the skill says in game too. Does anyone know how much adrenaline and energy you gain after raking damage?

- Thanks


(I used the search but found nothing, I could be deficient though )

I belive the enchantment stays on as long as you and your target are alive, and the enchantment is still present. The negative to this skill is that you lose an arrow of energy regeneration, which affects your casting ability.

I'd imagine it's one strike of adrenaline for the enchantee every time he gets struck and probably the same for energy however that would make it attribute independent and not deserving of falling under Smiting. A list of vague skill descriptions should be compiled.

When I was playing with it on, I received one strike of adrenaline and one energy for each time I was damaged.

It's .1 adrenaline per strike, plus some weird math regarding how much adrenaline you get per damage.

Normally you get 1 adrenaline per strike you make, and .01 adrenaline per point of damage taken.

More importantly, is it worth using?

Let's say you use Life Bond on a target that takes a lot of damage, or better yet multiple players that takes a "frequent" damage - then Baltahzars Spirit is good. There are other skills like Essence Bond that might be better, but it is a good use for it.

If you are a tank aggroing many foes and you take frequent damage from them - the recharge of your adrenaline and Energy skill would benefit from Baltahzar's Spirit. Many Warrior's use it to recharge their Adrenaline skills this way and to get enough energy to heal themselves.
