Exsanguinous

**Exsanguinous** is a unique Body Armor based on the Noble Raiment with a level requirement of 23.

## Build Tips

Exsanguinous is used to make ward a more permanent source of health than health itself. Even though this is true, increases to your maximum health will increase your stable ward (see math section below). Essentially, this item transfers a portion of your health to ward with a certain multiplier dependent on ward retention. As a result of this, health and ward retention (and by proxy, intelligence) are valuable stats for increasing your survivability. In order to break even on the conversion of a player's usable health pool, at least 200% ward retention is required.

## Math

Exsanguinous principally changes how your health pool functions. When equipped it drains your health and increases your ward until it reaches an equilibrium. This interacts with other increases to ward regen in a linear fashion, so the effects of Exsanguinous can be considered without taking other ward generation into account.

The following formulas can be used to determine the effects of Exsanguinous

{\displaystyle HP\_{regen} = (HP\_{regen\_{base}}+HP\_{regen\_{added}})(1+H\_{regen\_{increased}})}

Base health regeneration is determined by your character level. (9.22 at level 23, 13 at level 50, 16.5 at level 75, and 20 at level 100)

{\displaystyle W\_{stable} = \left(HP\_{max} - 5HP\_{regen}\right) \frac{2+W\_{ret}}{4}}

From these formulas some observations can be shown:

1. Increases and reductions to health do not effect your stable health, but effect your stable ward instead.
2. Increases to health regen reduce your stable ward, and inversely decreases to health regen will increases your stable ward.
3. An increase to ward retention will increase your stable ward.
4. Increases to your character level increase your stable health and reduce your stable ward.

From here we can continue to draw comparisons between your old health pool and your new health pool. Without Exsanguinous your health pool is your maximum health. With Exsanguinous your usable health pool becomes your stable health plus your stable ward.

{\displaystyle HP\_{with} = HP\_{max}\left(\frac{2+W\_{ret}}{4}\right)+5HP\_{regen}\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{W\_{ret}}{4}\right)}

A comparison of these two values gives the conclusion that if

{\displaystyle W\_{ret} > 2}

(200%), then the following are true

1. Our effective health pool has increased
2. Health regen will decrease our available health pool if we have Exsanguinous equipped.

Note that with Ward Retention of 400%, Exsanguinous can increase your effective health pool by a factor of up to 1.5!
