If that is your weak case Jake, maybe you should make a Poll.
SoE the way it is or SoE the same attributes as Dotw? And see where that leads you.
Just to clear this up for you.

Ok lets see dotw has a 20% hp regain from damage done to foe. SoE has a 5% hp regain from damage done to foe. Dotw hits for base damage of 22 and can only be used by thiefs which can only ignore a percentage of armor. SoE can be used by a few classes lets stick to zerks since this is basically for them and a zerk ignores 100% of armor and hits way harder than a thief can with dotw on. So to break it down maximum done with dotw be around 400. With a regain of 80 hp. I have seen a zerk hit for 650 with soe. Which is a 32.5 hp regain. Now i think it is fair for the cost of being able to do extra damage with less of a hp regain. I know i would definitely take a dotw that had same properties of SoE that way i can get more experience faster.
