ToP

IAttack - Heavens Tear

Ok so i have a barb main...and top is sooooo nice. but now i have a cleric with like 1/9999999th the life and every cleric is like OMG TOP IS A MUST CUZ IT GIVES YOU AN ENTIRE 500 HP OVER 6 SECONDS ISNT THAT AWWWWWWWWSUM

and i just sit there like ........................................ no.

anyone else do this on their alts? i dont even plan on getting it for my cleric tbh...

i get ToP on every character i have. it's just a nice safety net.

I only have it on characters who dont have an HP charm.. (it makes it tick everytime i use it, so why bother when the charm heals ..)

But I must admit, on a cleric its not really necessary when wellspring surge will just do the same.

I have ToP on every character as well. It's a nice backup when you're close to dying, a hell of a lot better than pots.

Thing is, it's a hell of a lot more useful for barbs... and not for recovering lost HP... ToP + Armageddon = yay.
Level 10 ToP gives 60% more HP, so that's 30% more arma damage. It's great.

lol i always go tanking with it if the cleric dicides to be dumb

ToP is useful because when I tank at my friend's fb19 (he's a cleric with mp charm) i use ToP always because his ironheart blessing is only lvl 1 and he's not using blessing of purehearted and wellspring surge at that time, so my barb didnt get much hp, so i always use ToP and i always lvl up ToP!!

for a cleric,wizard and maybe archer you better stick with essence penetration. you learn it sooner than ToP, maxed it sooner, and will restore more HP than ToP(remember ToP works with percentages, if your max Hp isnt high to begin with it will restore just 500-700 hp over 6 seconds). Essence penetration lvl 9 restores 730 HP +2% for every genie str point. 50 points(easy to get) will net a 1460 instant recovery.

ToP is a pretty cool skill...not just for Armageddon either. I do alot of solo grinding and it's a nice safety net (as was mentioned earlier) as well as a way of saving my charm, combined with pots, apothecary items and the occasional cleric buff.

just sucks that they killed the heal it provides - which was what I use(d) on my veno to help restore MANA when metabolic and natures grace were still on cool down. IE.. full HP bar -> soul transfusion -> ToP = same effect as Nature's Grace -> soul transfusion -> metabolic boost.

now instead of healing 20% or w/e it used to be every 3 second for 6 seconds, it only heals 2% every 3 seconds for 6 seconds. I dont look at the increase HP aspect of it so much as I do the heal. the temporary HP buff it gives is really only useful if I have to solo an elite mob/mini boss that is a few levels higher than me. what I do look at is the fact that every 8 genie dex points adds 1% HP to the effect. Currently with 42 dex points in my genie - thats 5% extra HP restored. Not sure really whether it is 5% per tick (assuming only 2 ticks, though can appear to be three since the HP buff cools down right before the second tick), or 5% overall. so this translates out to (what I'm guessing) would be 14% HP restored over 6 seconds. while in true form with beast kings inspiration, I have currently ~3583 HP. 14% of said HP would be ~502 HP restored over 6 seconds. Havent seen the next level of ToP yet, but I surely do hope that the 2% per tick base amount goes up. A shorter cool down on it would nice though b:laugh

It does. At higher levels ToP heals pretty much just as much as it did before.

I did a test just now when my HP was 2400 by hitting ToP, when the effect wore off, I had a little bit over 3100 HP (~700 HP healed). I regen 20 HP per second, so in 6 seconds that is 120 HP.. 700 - 120 = 580, so right around what I was expecting the effect to be. A faction mate of mine tauts essence penetration and tai chi to be superior to ToP in terms of healing, but I'm not sold yet. perhaps in lower levels they may be, but with ToP's % base rather than number base, plus increase from dex points, alongside an ever expanding HP pool from which to calculate - ToP will no doubt come out superior in the end.
