Vitality

Guide
In short: Vitality gives you more life, so you survive longer between potions. A Dark Knight gets 3 life for each point, every other class 2. No Season 0 to 2 item asks for Vitality, so every point you put there is pure life.

What Vitality does for you

  • More life (HP). The red orb on the bar holds more, and each potion still heals the same share of it.
  • A little AG, the gauge that weapon skills spend.
  • A longer Swell Life for a knight: the buff counts Vitality with the other three stats.

Vitality does not add defense. Defense comes from Agility, armour, wings and buffs.

What one point gives each class

Class Life per Vitality point Life per level AG per 100 Vitality
Dark Knight 3 2 +30
Dark Wizard 2 1 +30
Fairy Elf 2 1 +30
Magic Gladiator 2 1 +30
Dark Lord 2 1.5 +10

Every class also starts with some life of its own, so two characters with the same Vitality never have quite the same bar.

Life at a glance

Your full life at level 150 and later, by the Vitality you have in total.

Class Level 150, 100 Vit Level 150, 200 Vit Level 150, 300 Vit Level 250, 300 Vit Level 400, 500 Vit
Dark Knight 635 935 1,235 1,435 2,335
Dark Wizard 380 580 780 880 1,430
Fairy Elf 389 589 789 889 1,439
Magic Gladiator 407 607 807 907 1,457
Dark Lord 473 673 873 1,023 1,648
Example: a level 150 Soul Master with 120 Vitality has 420 life. Moving 100 points from Energy to Vitality gives him 620, at the cost of about a fifth of his spell damage. Open him in the character builder.

How much Vitality to aim for

Class Rule of thumb
Dark Knight The second stat after Strength. 3 life a point makes it the best tank of the five
Dark Wizard Enough to survive a stray hit. Soul Barrier and range keep you safe after that
Fairy Elf A modest share. Support Elves who stand in the middle of a party want more
Magic Gladiator, Dark Lord A modest share. Many players add more for player fights
  • Life matters more in player fights and in Chaos Castle, where no one heals you.
  • Healing potions heal a share of your full life, so more Vitality also makes each potion worth more. See Health, mana and AG.
