The healing is based upon damage inflicted. This means that whatever damage you dealt with Strife, you will heal 25% of that damage every 2 seconds.

That's good to know... thanks. I had read that the 'crit heals' were based upon Spell Crit, which made me wonder about the 'damage inflicted' and whether that only applied to spell damage. Glad to hear it takes ALL damage into consideration.

It does take all damage that Strife deals into consideration. The thing is... Strife's damage scales off Magicka and Spell Damage in the regular 10.46:1 ratio.

True, as far as using it as a 'damage' ability... but seems like this would be beneficial for a Stamina build if you're receiving healing back based off damage... imagine how much damage Steel Tornado does. Or, does it not work as effectively for healing as it sounds like it would?

You misunderstand me. If you deal 10k damage with Strife, you heal 2.5k every 2 seconds. If you deal 100 damage with Strife and you land Wrecking Blows dealing 15k damage, you heal 25 damage every 2 seconds. If you deal 10k damage with Strife, and 4k*3 with Force Shock, you heal 2.5k every 2 second. Only the damage from Strife is factored in. It is useless for a stamina build.
Key phrase here is damage inflicted. It is not damage you inflict.

Interesting, I never thought about this. So for the 10-second (or however long) strife lasts for, the 25% damage inflicted from the initial use of strife is the heal that is returned to our character every 2 seconds? And that damage and heal will be higher for a magicka build because it will hit harder, right?

Example to see if I understand correctly: If strife hit for 400 damage, then every 2 seconds, for the next 10 seconds, I would receive 100 back in health.

Yes, to all of them.

Excellent. One last question. Does spamming strife stack heals or does every cast of strife "reset" the heals?

Example: If I spam strife 3 times in quick succession and hit for 400 damage each time, then am I getting 3 heals of 100 about every 2 seconds, or would each cast of strife simply reset the 10 second timer of a 100 heal that occurs every 2 seconds?
