Vigor over Time
Vigor over Time, usually called VoT, means any spell or effect that applies a Vigor Heal skill recurrently in a specific period of time. VoTs are usually measured in vigor per second.
To completely understand a VoT effect we need to know 3 specific information:
- VoT Periodicity - Defines the time taken to apply each recurrent effect from the VoT. This is usually called TIC(time) or time to TIC.
- VoT Intensity - Defines the Raw Power of the Effect. Usually described in vigor per second (vps) or vigor per tic.
- VoT Duration - Defines the time until the effect run outs.
The Total VoT heal can be discovered by one of these formulas:
- vigor per second x Duration (if the vps is given)
- vigor per tic x Duration : tic (if vigor per tic is given)
IF a spell or effect has a base vigor heal and a VoT we can only figure the magnitude of it when we add the Total VoT Heal to the base Vigor Heal.
NOTE: another MMO's have MoT (Mana over Time) or similar to other energy used in those games.
