Talk:Bitter Root/@comment-97.100.167.71-20140514230540

This item does not seem to work on a persistent basis. Meaning multiple roots only apply a percentage gain against your current health pool and do not synergize. So once you pick up a root you gain total health and that's it. In addition to this, the roots seem to have a diminishing return. I noted some health gains I received and did the math to get a percentage gain, I did have some infusion vials too. This still needs further testing and I am not sure if the reduced percentage gain is based on my current level, total hp, total amount of roots, or a combination of factors. It would make sense to focus on these late game to get a larger amount of health but that may introduce a lower total percentage gain.

Game 1

1st root

current health = 1277

bitter root should give 8% =102.16

102.16+1277=1379.16  should be my total hp

actually got 1354 total hp so gained only 77hp

(1277)(x) = 77

x = 0.06029757244

bitter root only gave me 6% hp gain

Game 2

6th root

1361 health

1439 gained =78hp

=5.73% gain

7th root

1454 health

1532 gain = 78hp

=5.36% gain

8th root

1540 health

1619 gain = 79hp

=5.13% gain

Game 3

1st root

533 health

576 gain = 43hp

=8.06% gain

2nd root

682 health

732 gain = 50

=7.33%

Game 4

1st root

443 health

479  gain = 36hp

=8.12%
