Battle Thirst

Barbarian skill · Fury line · tier 3

Beta 0.7.2

Drinks from the fight: what he takes off the enemy comes back as breath.

It has no cooldown: it is always on while it sits on the hero's active bar, and does nothing anywhere else.

Values by rank

Battle Thirst scales with Lifesteal. Its value at each rank is 280 + 80 × rank:

Lifesteal is a percentage stat, so the value is used as written (in basis points, shown here as a percentage), times the skill power.

Lifesteal = value × skill power
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Fury skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it
