Vital Blessing

Paladin skill · Blessings line · tier 1

Beta 0.7.2

The simplest blessing, and the one that saves most lives.

It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 8 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

Values by rank

Vital Blessing scales with Regen. Its value at each rank is 17.1 + 4.99 × rank:

Rank	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Value	22.09	27.08	32.07	37.06	42.05	47.04	52.03	57.02	62.01	67

The value is the game's internal number for this skill.

in combat = round(value × skill power × 1.83 (× 3.76 for a self heal) × max(0.35, hero damage ÷ 600))
hero damage = Attack + all elemental damage
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Blessings skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it

The damage factor has a minimum of 0.35 and no maximum. A hero with 600 damage and no line mastery or synergies gets the listed value × 1.83 (× 3.76 for a self heal); how it becomes damage or healing per hit depends on the skill's type and timing.
