How does the mana leech imbuement work for Knights?

Question

I have an Elite Knight lvl 148 at this very exact moment. I decided to apply an imbuement for Intricate Void (Mana Leech lvl 2) on both, my axe and helmet, however, it is not resulting as I expected, perhaps there's something I am misunderstanding.

With these, I get 10% mana leech with a chance of 100%. Now, let's put an example.

I get surrounded by 8 Lizards Chosen and I use Exori Gran. Let's assume I hit 500 with the Exori Gran. This means that I should gain 50 mana points for each Lizard Chosen since 10% of 500 is 50. Since I have 8 Lizards on me, that means I should gain 400 mana points (50 x 8 = 400). Exori Gran has a cost of 340 mana points, So, as far as I understand, if I have 400 mana points, and then I use Exori Gran in this scenario, I should spend 340 mana points and then recover 400, which should leave me with 460 mana points.

So pretty much, unless I am missing something about the formula behind this, my mana bar should fill up when in scenarios like this one, however, It is not happening like that. Of course, I notice some improvement vs having no imbuements, but I would definitely say I am not leeching 10% mana of my damage dealt.

Please let me know if there's a part on the formula I am missing or what is your experience so far with imbuements. Why am I not getting more mana when this scenario occurs?

Answer 1

in test server when mana leach was tested was exactly like that, you hit 500 you get 50 back of mana, independent if it was 1 target or multi target but it was to powerful, imagine a mage hitting an avalanche for 600 damage on 10 monsters would get 600 mana back x hit, so they decided to make it less powerful, with a single target damage you get the 10% if you mele hit with your weapon and do 500 dmg you get 50 mana back, but if you do a exori more monsters you hit less % of mana will return  to give you a example it work +- like this:

1 monster = 10%
2 monsters =5,8%
3 monsters =4,1%
5 monsters =3,1%

hope it helps

https://www.reddit.com/r/TibiaMMO/comments/5gsgz9/mana_leech_aoe_info/              < on this post on reddit there you can see some tests done with different amounts of monsters. I tried it my self to check sometime ago both hitting with single target bolt and multi targeting with ava and diamonds and semms the info is really near on the %

Answer 2

Leech formula is as follows:

100% Leech for first monster hit, additional 10% for each subsequent monster

For example, if you hit 1 monster, you will Leech 100% (damage * leech percentage), when you hit 6 monsters, you will Leech 150% (100% + 5 * 10%)

=(damage*(1+(#monsters-1)*0,1))*%imbue

=(damage*(1+(#monsters-1)*0,1))*%imbue  This part confuses me :(

I think that if you suppose a fake damage it will become more clear. Let's take as example 1000 damage, 50% life leech and see how it works with 1 monster and 8 monsters around you.

For one monster:
Leech(1) = (1000*(1+(1-1)*0,1))*50%
Leech(1) = 1000*50%
Leech(1) = 500

For 8 monsters
Leech(8)=(1000*(1+(8-1)*0,1))*50%
Leech(8)=(1000*1,7)*50%
Leech(8)= 850

Did you mean mana leech and not life?

I was really referring to life leech, considering 2 imbuements 25% leech each. If you want to do the calculation with mana leech, just put your mana leech % on the eequation. Powerful mana imbuements provide 8% each, so if you have two of them just put 16% and find out.

sorry, I just find out that the main question is about manaleech, but for my lucky it works exactly the same for both.
