Life Scaling in general linked to trial's max honour.

After some testing in the trial of sekhemas, I noticed your max honour is directly linked to your max life+ES(effective health pool). It literally changes in real time if you swap gear around.

What I really don't understand and find absolutely frustrating is that there are no life nodes at all in the 1500 passives. You have TONS of ES node(all in the northernside of the tree, nothing in the southern part), which you can very easily scale to 5k with medium range gear.

On the other hands, past 2200 life without stacking strength is basically the maximum (almost max tier hp on every jewelry/armor). No nodes to scale it at all.

My friend with her normal gear has 5k ES(overflowing to 10k) and almost 2k life, which gives her about 7k honour, and me on the other hand i can't have more than 2200 base without completely changing my gear to ES/Evasion.

So comparing the base Honour, for the same hit that removes 500 honour, i lose almost 25% of my max vs someone playing ES, like my friend, for the same hit, gets hit for 14% of max honour.


Life needs scaling in the passive. 1500 nodes and not a single 1 with life. ES is the only viable path for literally all classes but warrior stacking strength.

To be fair, you have a chance to completely negate the hit and thus take no honour penalty. Same with armour reducing the honour loss from physical damage.

But yeah, life values seem too low for pure dex and maybe even strength classes. I'll have to see how my Titan compares to a Monk end game.

Titan here with Life and Strength on nearly every item and the +15% max life node. I have 3.4k life total.

Yeah, I think mine is at 3.2kish right now. Not the best end game gear and I've not juiced a strength breech ring yet though.

My rings arn't even qualitied at all. I have had terrible luck with getting +life catalysts

So far everytime i'm about to get hit, it never happened. I have 79% dodge, i guess i could have more but those hits remove the honour whether you dodge it or not.
