Possible bug with lifedrain attacks? - developers please read

Norfleet, I am not newbie.

Both times it was one on one battle. No auras, and I was monitoring units before and after every sword hit for fatique. The only explanations to this is either what I suggested (2nd lifedrain-related bug with mirror images) or that both times I was very unlucky.


In any case, if the above quote from developers is true and that is how lifedrain is supposed to work (fixed percentage from damage inflicted), than all lifedrain type attacks in game are currently broken, there can be no doubts about it - your own observations as well as mine confirm it.

The only question if this is broken in 1 or 2 ways.


EDIT: As for formula for the reduced defense, IIRC each additional attacker reduces effective defense by one.
