you’re telling me you attack less than 3 times per combat encounter?
Any more than that and you should have a different gem equipped because you’re losing more hp than you’re gaining.
heck, even if you somehow only attack twice per encounter the +30 defense from onyx is still going to get you near identical hp benefits and it’d be much much easier to get.
atleast the point where drawback damage kinda levels out is higher
hell, if you combined painite with drawback gear that gave stats other than defense it’d probably be pretty decent
I think we’ve determined that drawback is not % of your attack damage but if it was…
My juggernaut deals 113 damage with a crash and with 8 painite gems thats like 8% of the damage dealt back to me so every attack would deal 9 dmg to my juggernaut. That would be healed very quickly.
