Essence of Desire (Read 1621 times)

	So, I just got my first melee enough Yugo favor to buy pots, and was wondering - in a tanking situation, is drinking an Essence of Desire worth it? Is the +40 hp generally considered more important than the -5% attack speed?

	On one hand, if you can hold aggro and you're in stance, why not, it's actually more than 40 HP with all the stance bonuses included. On the other hand, that 5% may not sound like much on paper, but gooooooddddammmmmmmnnnnn it's fucking slow-motion

So, 100% normal + 15% Hjasted - 5% Essence = 110% attack rate? Or Multiplicatively? 100% normal * 115% Hjasted * 95% Essence = 109.25% attack rate? Now that I've done out the math, I realize the difference is pretty fucking small, but I suppose I'm still curious.

This is harder to test now because there are fewer stacking attack speed adjustments, but it was tested back before the Zeal/Ftr Capstone/Monk crap was changed to doublestrike.

	Dunno how it stacks but I do know it ends up being bullet time
