And calculate the effective gold spent per damage reduced / HP gained. So to figure out the better use of your gold, you should consider various situations, such as what happens when you buy armor (you take less damage), versus spellvamp. Yeah, there's spellvamp from quints and masteries, but you're sacrificing slots/points to get that spellvamp. What you seem to be going for is survivability via spellvamp, which isn't a shabby idea with Amumu, except all spellvamp is typically available with heavy investments into AP.
League of Legends is a team game, and part of Amumu's job is to lock down opponents with his CC, letting the combined efforts of you and your teammate(s) take out your opponents. If I have the entire basic strategy wrong, PLEASE let me know!īut your basic strategy is wrong. First you seem to say that the spell vamp would be triggered by the Sunfire Cape AND Despair (correct?), but then you say it's useless for Amumu? From what I understand, the strategy is to Bandage Toss yourself into the middle where you can then unleash your multi-hit (magic damage) spells (Tantrum, Curse).Īs far as the reduction in spell vamp for mob attacks go, how exactly is it calculated? If you do 40 damage to all mobs around you with Sunfire Cape with 20% spell vamp, is that a total of 40 * 0.2 * 1/3 = 2.67 HP? Or is it 2.67 HP per monster? If you guys could answer any or all of these questions, I would be eternally grateful! that aura thingy that drains nearby enemy's health)ĥ) I've noticed from the stats at the end of the game that I tend to dish out a lot (3x-4x+) more magic damage than physical, so I'm thinking spell vamp would be better? the item that does like 40 damage to enemies around you)Ĥ) Do either of these get triggered by Despair? (Amumu's W. My only problem seems to be that I seem to have basically no HP recovery / healing on my own (been using Smite & Exhaust).ġ) Which items are better to get? Ones with Life Steal or Spell Vamp?Ģ) And what are the best items to get for each of those?ģ) Do either of these get triggered by Sunfire Cape? (Or w/e it's called.

So far, my account is only level 4 and I've been playing free Amumu as a jungler since ganking is so much fun and he seems to be quite tanky. Thanks to the Wiki, I know they both heal HP but Life = Auto-attacks and Spell = Skills. I was thinking Life Steal = Heal HP when attacking, and Spell Vamp = Heal MP when attacking. First of all, the names were terribly misleading to new players such as myself.
