Elena versus Anzogh

[Damirius]

Hmm, then Anzogh is really unique in the way he interacts with Wilbur. All other life-stealing heroes have their direct damage to the target reduced, and thus have reduced healing.

Im not sure if you were told this or came to the conclusion yourself but without reasoning statements like this are why probably a lot of players poorly rate hero’s unnecessarily.

You’re talking to the author of Wilbur’s guide here. Here’s the original post with the guide.

How to use Wilbur?

Wilbur is a game changer in the raids, and here are some tips that you can use: Before you activate Wilbur: Use Wilbur’s defence buffing/debuffing to override enemy buffs and your debuffs. So, if you see enemy defence buffer/debuffer ready, wait until they fire and then activate Wilbur to instantly override them. Don’t activate Wilbur if you see Rigard or Vivica ready, because they will remove defence debuff. Don’t activate Wilbur if you see Zeline or Sabina ready, because they will remove d…

Since I don’t have Anzogh, I couldn’t test him with Wilbur. Now I see he is definitely unique synergy with Wilbur that other life-stealing heroes don’t have.

Elena makes sense due to damage taken being reduced so out going is less but how does Wilburs link effect Anzogh?

Elena makes sense not due to the “damage being reduced because of +63% Defense buff”, but due to “direct damage being reduced because of the Spirit Link buff”.

Spirit Link affects all other life-stealing heroes like Musashi, Leonidas, Elkanen, Priska, Renfield, Greymane, Aegir etc. Because the Spirit Link reduces the direct damage dealt to the target, it also reduces the healing received.

Apparently, Anzogh’s special counts all dealt damage, including one that is distributed via Spirit Link.
Now you see why I made this assumption?

Apologies, not trying to sound harsh but just trying to understand why that was said

No offence taken, hope now you understand.
