Drain testing

At 426 skill, the maximum I've observed is 398 with no enhancing gear after about 70 casts. I have a pretty continuous distribution down to 200, and then I have 4 resist values. Assuming no cap, they substantially reduced the slope after 300 skill and I happened to pick a skill amount that gives approximately a round number. This was somewhat indicated already by CDF's testing.

Data:

300 ~ 320 <--- from general knowledge.
303 ~ 321 <--- from CDF's data
340 ~ 345 <--- from CDF's data again
426 ~ 398 <--- from me

If I throw that into excel and fit a linear trendline to it, the nicest equation I can come up with that fits the data is: Max Drain HP = 19/30*(Dark Magic Skill) + 130 I would like something nicer, but that will have to do for now. --Byrthnoth 21:25, 25 November 2012 (EST)
