Vigor

When active, aura increases stamina recovery rate, maximum stamina and movement speed for you and your party.

Vigor is the Paladin's level 18 Defensive Aura; it requires Cleansing and Defiance and opens Redemption. While it is the active aura, you and every ally in range move faster and have more stamina that refills faster. Two numbers decide it: the speed, +13% at level 1 and +43% at level 20, and the stamina lines, +50% at level 1 and +525% at 20.

The numbers

The speed is the row's dm56, a diminishing curve from Param5 7 ("Velocity % Min") towards Param6 50 ("Velocity % Max"). The Basin writes it out:

movement speed % = min(7 + [43 × [110 × lvl ÷ (lvl + 6)] ÷ 100], 50)

It reads +13% at level 1, +28% at 5, +36% at 10, +40% at 15, +43% at 20 and +46% at 30; the Basin's table only reaches the 50 cap at level 60. The two stamina lines share one expression, ln34: Param3 50 ("Stamina % baseline") plus Param4 25 a level ("Stamina % per level"), +50% at level 1, +275% at 10, +525% at 20, +775% at 30, uncapped. The radius grows faster than any other Defensive Aura's, whose Param2 is 2 or 0: Param1 16 plus Param2 3 a level, times two thirds, is 10 2/3 yards at level 1, 2 yards more a level, 48 2/3 yards at 20. The aura costs no mana. Every line reads lvl, so +skills and the level of an Aura When Equipped item count in full.

How it works

Vigor is an aura with the row's stamina state on the caster and on every ally in range, refreshed every two seconds (perdelay 50). It has no hit check and no damage. Its stats are staminarecoverybonus at ln34, skill_staminapercent at ln34 and velocitypercent at dm56. What a velocity percentage does to your run and walk is the rule on Faster Run/Walk; what stamina and its recovery are is on Maximum Stamina and Heal Stamina Plus.

The speed line flattens hard: level 10 is +36%, level 20 is +43%, and ten more levels from +skills add +3%. The stamina lines are the ones that keep paying past 20.

The Charge page notes that Vigor's velocity does change Charge's speed, where item Faster Run/Walk does not. The Basin lists Harmony as an aura-when-equipped source at level 10, Tearhaunch as +2 Vigor, and +1–3 Vigor on Paladin scepters.

Synergies and +skills

No synergies: Vigor has no dsc3 lines and no …SymPerCalc column. It feeds two skills, both read as hard points (blvl):

• Charge: +20% damage a point (Charge's Param8).
• Blessed Hammer: +14% magic damage a point.

Vigor's own lines read lvl, so a +skill from gear is worth a hard point to the aura; only the two synergies want hard points.

Against players

Vigor deals no damage and is applied only to you and your party, so the player-versus-player rule has nothing to act on; see Player versus Player.

Build notes

• Level 20 reads +43% speed, +525% stamina and recovery, in 48 2/3 yards; a Harmony bow's level 10 aura already reads +36% speed and +275% stamina.
• Twenty hard points are +280% to Blessed Hammer and +400% to Charge; a Hammerdin maxes Vigor for the synergy and gets a level 20 movement aura for free.
• Past 20 the speed line is nearly flat, so +skills buy radius and stamina, not much speed.
