Mortal Strike

My point with this is:I have a couple of questions about the skill.


First of all, is the damage lethal?
Second of all, is it worth it to give up the critical late game to steal 20% HP of a 4k HP Axe for example?(I mean if you are low,its rather obvious,you go for it and try to duke it out,I mean it since the beginning of a fight).

Damage isn't lethal for any side.
Second question - it depends on your farm and situation. I would only use it as finishing move to ensure kill, or as escape mechanism (I mean, you run away on low health, steal hp just before Zeus uses his ult and you're still alive). Using it at beginning of fight is just stupid, cause most likely you won't be able to finish off target before hp return.

There's an active? Too many buttons. next you're gonna tell me to build Armlet on SK!

it is not a good idea to use it in the beginning of a a fight. It disables the critical chance, so you will deal less damage. Plus after 7 seconds, the enemy will gain health and you will lose it. The best time to use it is when the enemy has less than 20% health. You hell blast them and then steal their health. They should have 1 health and the DoT from hell blast will kill them.
