Spirit Link

[W!†A_cRaft]

I dont quite get this spell.... it is suppose to transfer a part of damage acrosss the lineked targets... yes?

sooo if 4 targets are linked as in default and 50% is transfer rate, I hit 1 of them for 600, he should get hit by 300 while others are hit by 100 or what?

Well basicly the problem is I made a spell like this:
number of units: 2
damage percent shared: 0.5 (50%)

And i hit 1 for like 1000 he takes full 1000 dmg while the other doesnt suffer at all....so what is problem?

Could someone explain this ability a bit to me. Thanks.

is it triggered? if yes, post trigger. if not, tell what spell u used..

 

[W!†A_cRaft]

Not triggered...as said spell name is Spirit Link, the Spirit Walker has it....the normal wc3 spell that connects 4 units together and they share damage taken..... refer to the main post for further detail.

i spirit link skill is kind of strange yeah.
i think maximum targets, range, area of effect etc is clear

but the distributed damage factor is not easy to understand.
originally the factor is 0.50 that means that the attacked unit takes 75%!!! damage and the linked unit (if it is 1) takes 25%.
if you set the factor to 1.00 the attacked unit takes 50% damage and the linked unit (if it is 1 unit) takes 50% as well.
well its long time ago since i worked around with spirit link and i cant remember how it was calculated, but one thing i know: NEVER set the factor to a negative value or your units will both recieve extra damage!!! Oo

You sure about that 1 = 50:50?......I just found why it wasnt working in the first place figgured you have to be attacked by ENEMY units in order to split damage.

i had tested it many times, but try it yourself if you dont trust me, if you set the factor to 1.00 both units (if 2 units are linked) recieve 50% of the damage.

 

[W!†A_cRaft]

I just did and the result came as this:

with factor 0.5:
unit 1 died (had 2.6k HP)
unit 2 left with 1.6k

with factor 1.00:
they didnt distribute damage at ALL

lol are you serious?

i ll check it myself...

If 4 units are linked, and one takes 100 damage, he only gets damaged by 50, the other three get damaged 50/3 each.

Im basicly interested in this:

I have ability with 4 lvls:
1 - 20% damage is transfered
2 - 30% damage is transfered
3 - 40% damage is transfered
4 - 50% damage is transfered

all levels have only 2 units linked

what should i set the factors

 

[Accname]

oh f*uck sorry, my bad.

for 50% damage split upon 2 units you need to set the value to 0.00 not 1.00.

Edit: with 0.20 its 60/40 with 0.40 its 70/30

 

[wellwish3r]

oh f*uck sorry, my bad.

for 50% damage split upon 2 units you need to set the value to 0.00 not 1.00.

so there is no way that damage is distributed for anything more than 50:50?

i.e.

The caster gets 25% damage, the linked unit 75% or smthn like that?

 

[Accname]

i guess not, negative values will make them take extra damage, and the value cant get any less then 0.00.

 

[W!†A_cRaft]

what is for 20:80?

 

[Accname]

you mean 80% attacked unit damage 20% linked unit damage? well i guess 0.30 check it out.

Edit: download the attached map and you can get the values very easy yourself.

 

[W!†A_cRaft]

okay found it to be around 0.55

thanks a bunch, +rep

k il check map, brb

With this skill on, you receive 10% of the original damage as the original damage type. So if you are hit by a 350 pure damage nuke (Storm Bolt), you will only receive 35 pure damage. The other 90% is converted to Magical which is reduced by Spell Resistance.This 90% is splitted between the targets buffed.

Example:
I buff a target with Spirit Link. I get hit for 350 damage by a Storm Bolt.
I take: 35 pure damage+157.5 magical damage(is reduced by Spell Resistance).
Buffed target: 157.5 magical damage(is reduced by the unit Spell Resistance).

35+157.5+157.5= 350 :nuts:
