Notes

• Grenth's Balance is most effective when:
  • The target has as much health as possible and
  • The caster has a high maximum health, but is left with very little actual health.

• Effects that cause spell casting to inflict health loss or gain (e.g. Backfire, Vigorous Spirit) trigger before this skill checks the caster's health.
  • If that effect brings the caster's health to zero, then Grenth's Balance still causes the target to lose health, but the caster dies before they can gain any health.
• The AI uses Grenth's Balance properly, prioritizing high health targets.

Anomaly.The concise description omits the fact that your health gain (and your target's health loss) is capped by your maximum health.

Trivia

• This skill was named "Charon's Balance" during the beta (source). Charon refers to the ferryman of the dead in Greek mythology.
