What about reversing it? Something like "you are healed for X health and begin bleeding for Y seconds"? -- Gordon Ecker 09:18, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I prefer Time's suggestion, but @ 5 energy not @ 1... A. von Rin 01:55, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it should stay at 1. In my suggestion I cut in half the heal at the end while cutting the sac cost by 15%. Maybe I should have suggested 12% to make the tradeoff closer to fair though. But basically I suggested to lower the amount of risk when using this spell, not really increase its power. --TimeToGetIntense 09:09, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Trouble is at 12% and 1e (masochism ftw) you could basically keep spamming it without much thought. I'd say reduce sac to 17% and casting time to 1/4 (same as Hexer's Vigor and Mystic Regen). I agree about it not being practical when under heavy attack but it's not really supposed to be a heal like that. Brit 08:57, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I say increase it to 10 energy, give it a 15 second recharge, and eliminate the health sacrifice entirely. Just to see how it goes.  Nobody uses it as is, so it could be worth looking at. --Jette 05:21, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I actually like the second suggesting. The conditional sac forces you to only use the skill when you need it, or otherwise not the the full benefit. --Angelic Loki 07:04, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the compliment. And BTW it is still useable above half health, just not as powerful. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:72.71.208.3 (talk).
 * I like both suggestions. 25% is just too much to be practical. If you're worried about abuse with Masochism, you could just up the recharge slightly (maybe 12?). Tbh gaining 2-3 energy every 10 seconds is not that great for a skill slot and sacrifice (plus it's an extra second used).
 * Masochism is overpowered, nerf that, not health sacrifice. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:72.71.220.238 (talk).
