Vampiric Minion ?'s (Health Gain) - Guild Wars Forums

The Fox · Feb 19, 2008, 02:12 AM // 02:12

I would like to know which of these skills (if any) will bluff the damage gain received from Vampiric Horrors.
Wiki says, "Whenever a Vampiric Horror you control deals damage, you gain the same amount of Health."

damage boosting skills - Offering of Pain, Signet of Ghostly Might, Brutal Weapon, Strenght of Honor, Splinter Weapon ect...

life stealing skills - Order of the Vampire, Nightmare Weapon, ect...

Thank you for any help.

Order of Undeath will increase the health gain, so other buffs should as well. The damage they do shown on your screen should be equal to the amount you gain. As far as i know, the aoe damage they do from splinter weapon will do nothing.

Order of Pain and Order of the Vampire will not work on minions, they will only work on players in your party.

Strength of Honor is a maintained enchantment, and although it would increase their damage, I doubt you could target, cast, and maintain it to make it worth using.

Weapon spells can work, but not all of them. Brutal would be the most likely to help you, but again, you have to be able to target the minions fast with it.

Order of Undeath is your best option in my opinion. It works with all minions you control, doesn't need to be targeted, and the health loss from it will be made up from the Vamps enough to use frequently.

I remember that i read from wiki that Splinter weapon works.
