why does the minor vigor only add 30, major 41, and superior 50? while other superior runes take away 75. :/ but in the beta vigors were 25,50,75. maybe a bug? because right now it doesn't even make sense to use a superior rune for 1 extra point over a major that won't even make that big of a difference. even if you add a staff head, sword pommel or whatever to add the max 30 health they give; it still won't make up for the lost 75 health.....

The 25 HP you lose is about 5% of your HP total. For skills with linearly scaling results, the extra point is about 8% of the skill's effectiveness. Moreover, it's not like your HP total (as long as it's reasonable) has any real effects on healing, which is what's going to keep you alive anyway, since healing is by raw HP count rather than any percentages.
