you have more HP in your one set… it’s based on your max HP

Hmm.
“The base size of your life force pool is based on your current max health, meaning it is indirectly affected by your Vitality attribute, and can be further increased by the Life Force Pool attribute linked to the Soul Reaping trait line. The life force bar (located above weapon and off-hand skills) displays life force level. "

So… I assume your staff increases your vitality, therefore making the pool bigger and less full… and when you go back to A/W your vitality drops as well as your life force pool, making it fuller. My 10 cents.

No you’re incorrect, Duleshna. This looks like a bug or something. LF is displayed as a percentage. No matter what your HP pool is, the percentage should be the same since you get LF in percentages (attack X grants you x% of LF).

Actually, Duleshna is correct. DS is very much akin to a second health pool (120% of your normal HP is our current best guess) and while it is displayed as a percentage, gained as percentage and the natural degradation is percentage based, things like damage taken are not (that is recalculated to % for display purposes but this % will depend on your vitality). As such, changing your vitality changes your total LF pool, but not your current LF e.g. if you gain 20% more vitality your LF will go from 100% to 100/120=83% LF.

I got a video showing off my legendary didn’t need to make another thread about it :P

I just never encountered the issue because i never used vitality on my weapons and i cant transmute the stats i want onto The Bifrost without losing its legendary status.
