why would u run max vit instead of int? since ur spells cost % life u also lose more
That's all about getting more thorns damage with the Heart of Iron in the cube ('Gain Thorns equal to 300% of your Vitality').
This was debunked in season 5 bro. You only gain 10% total increased dmg. Thorns scales off main stat first and foremost. The means the 300% is a mere fraction of the main stat multiplier. Why do you think for LoN bomb or Invokers people either go Rubies or diamonds. Its either raw DPS or damage mitigation.
Just answering the question... not stating my life's philosophy or anything. Haha. That's why the original poster is (most likely) maxing his vit.
I'm just clearing up a sadly common noob mistake.
Another way of saying it is:
300% of vit + thorns = new thorns
Example:
Constants: 300k thorns, 8600 mainstat, 3000 vit,
bunch of other mulipliers = Z
Increase Vit. Say you have 3000 vit + 5 Amethyst = 4400. HoI in cube = 13200 bonus.
(8600%+1) * 313200 * Z = effective dmg
27,248,400*Z
Increase main stat = flat multiplier increase. If you have 8600 int and you socket 5 topaz in gear you get 10k int. this translates to 10k% multiplier.
(10k%+1) * 309000 thorns * Z = effective dmg.
31,209,000*Z
(3.12-2.72)/3.12 = 12.8% difference in power.
this means having main stat gems socket in gear gives you approximately 13% more power than amethyst.
