Fall Damage Calculations

[uacko]

I would like to draw your attention to this post, which explains just how absurd the current fall damage is:

Increasing Health Decreases Non Combat Survivability

Falling damage, lava damage and drowning damage all appear to deal a percentage of max health, but full up healing and health regeneration epic are static. This means that environmental damage is effectively much more deadly at higher health pools. Lets take Lava as an example, it does a third of your max health per tic, at base health (600) that means you take 200 damage. If you’re full and have health regen epic you heal 45 every 5 seconds, lets just call it 50 to keep the math simple, that m…

Because of fall damage, increasing health points is purely detrimental for every character build type except fighting.

And falling armor is a completely useless skill. It doesn’t do squat, due to just how insane impact damage is. Even if it worked properly, we shouldn’t have to invest skill points to avoid punishment for increasing hp. It should be a bonus, not a punishment mitigation.
