L2 - Topic of the week - patch notes : Lineage 2 General Discussions

So, with the new Kamael race coming out and all the buzz about that..people's concerns about the perceived "nerf bat attack" on those engaging in AOE experience parties.

From the patch notes:
Previously, spear attacks combined with a Vampiric buff would transform a certain amount of damage into HP. Now, if the number of targets increases, the HP recovery rate gradually decreases. For example, if a player absorbs a certain amount of HP from the first target, a lesser amount of HP is absorbed from the second target and an even lesser amount still from the third target.


What are your thoughts? Do you think this was a needed change? Will it have any effect? Has this method of gaining experience been exploited? Working as intended?
