Skill Design

Recovery is the last skill of the skill chain that focuses on Health Globes in the Juggernaut Skill Tree, and what a skill it is!

While other classes will have harder times simply obtaining a Health Globe, The Juggernaut Barbarian will be constantly healed and buffed by them. This skill chain really brings out the entire idea of the Juggernaut Tree, and that is to take damage for the team and discard it as if they were simple scratches.

Health Globes heal 25% of a character's max hit points as of August 2009. This figure may go up or down during further game balancing, but as of now 12% bonus is impressive, essentially increasing the healing by 50%.(Unless the 12% is calculated from what a Health Globe heals, instead of how much of the Barbarian's total hit points, which would be a far smaller bonus.) It's not clear if this increase will share to other players in the party, but it seems unlikely.
