Vampirism and Weapon Proc's

Does vampirism trigger off of weapon proc's?(ex. melee weapon's 2nd skill)

 

Only the bonus damage from the vampirism skill drains.

 

Ah ok so it's not based off of weapon hits. Thanks for the response.

 

Really? I thought bonus helped. Maybe I'm thinking of blungecap?

 

<effect type="drain" /> is a contained value: it won't drain from anything else.

 

I'm super confused here. In Dredmorpedia it says nothing about bonus damage for Vampirism skills. And it also says it scales off of magic power still.

 

Code:

<spell name="Vampirism Attack" type="target" >
  <effect type="drain" necromantic="1" necromanticF="0.14" taxa="Demon" />
  <effect type="drain" necromantic="1" necromanticF="0.14" taxa="Other" />
  <effect type="drain" necromantic="2" necromanticF="0.25" taxa="Animal" />
  <anim sprite="sprites/sfx/glintA/glintA" frames="5" framerate="60" centerEffect="0" sfx="fleshbore" />
  <effect type="heal" amount="1" /> <!-- a free point of health, for effort. -->
  </spell>

 

You sure that doesn't mean it drains based on your total necromantic damage, including buffs and CoE weapons?

Otherwise, what's the point in the scalar? 25% of 2 is still less than 1. Why go to the trouble of adding the necromanticF if it won't do anything? Why not necromantic="1" necromanticF="1"? The only reason to include a percent is if there's some way to enhance (short of modding the files) the output.

Guess I'm going to have to make a vampire-fungal-swords build sometime so I can test this.

 

That's not how the scalar works.

necromanticF="0.25" means "add additional necromantic damage equal to 25% of your ". So you deal extra 2+.25 to animals and heal that amount + 1.

To others and demons, you deal 1+.14 and heal that amount + 1.

To everything else, you deal no extra damage, but heal 1 point.

...although, looking at this now, the hilarious thing is that I think the effect type="heal" is actually healing the target.

 

ugh... how did I not notice that...

 

Oh. That is just bizarre.
