why the fire eater has more value than the poison ? Lots of monsters use poison damage...
Fire eater goes well against mages fire spells (explosions, flamestrikes, fireballs etc...)
Poison eater works well against
-nox (level5 poison)/necro dexers with 100poison weapons/poison strikes
Since u get more likely hit by fire spells nowadays fire eater armor becomes more expensive. It also depends on what shard ur playing and who u are countering, i set the poison eater price to 4m coz not many nox necro dexers play on europa shard for example.
From uoguide.com:
Damage Eater is an item property found on certain armor and shields. It converts a percentage of damage dealt to a player back as health. However, the damage inflicted must be the same type as the eater for the property to function. It stacks with other eaters of the same type, but is capped at 30%. The all type damage eater does not stack with specific eaters (if you have Damage Eater 10% and Fire Eater 20%, and take 20 fire damage, your eater will restore 4 health, the higher amount). All type damage eater is capped at 18%. Damage Eater properties have a capacity to store up to 20 healing charges and convert charges every three seconds from the last time damage was received before they stop converting damage. Some special attacks like Bleed are considered direct damage and only triggered with all type damage eater and not kinetic eater.
