Darth Nihilus annihilate with lead

With Darth Nihilus as the lead does he not gain the health bonus from annihilate?
  • when lead all sith ONLY gain health through health steal. annihilate is not health steal, so no. seems a bit odd though.
  • I mean technically he dosent do actual damage when using annihilate and just out right kills the target.

  • Annihilate doesn't health steal, it adds a percentage of the targets life to his own, his health percentage doesn't change, just the amount of his max health.

    Hmmm...I thought Usually a max health increase means an actual health increase. Guess I was wrong.

    It does result in an actual health increase, just not percentage wise. Say he had 1000 max health and 500 current health left (50%), he uses annihilate to take 9000 max health, so total max health is now 10,000, and his current health would increase to 5,000, still remaining at 50%.
  • From using it in the event, I think he does get the max health AND health, but only enough to keep him at the same percentage. Just like Ploosh said. His health bar won't look any different, but by the end he's a TANK. I don't have a good Sith/FO squad, so on tier 3 encounter 8, it would often get down to just him being stunned or otherwise not taking a turn, and the five Jedi would all take potshots at him. And it would seriously take them each 5 turns to wear him down. Maybe more. I didn't really bother to count. That's at least 25 hits and maybe in excess of 30. So the max health add was definitely working.

    It doesn't work under maul lead either. It's currently providing zero health.


    See above comments. It adds max health, and his percentage stays the same. But it will take more hits to kill him.
