Whats up with Swipe?

The drain part of Swipe feels a little screwy. I've got a nooby WH (level 90) with maxed Swipe blah blah blah. In Red leaf while using Swipe against single targets, I only heal about 300 HP. The problem is that I do about 20k per line, so 70-80k total. I also have 10.5k HP fully buffed. The skill says that it drains 5% damage and only heals up to 15% of Max HP, so I should be healing up to 1500. If the skill is misleading and actually uses base HP, it's still crap, since I have 3800 no clothes/cat, and 15% of 3800 is 500ish. Why is this happening?

Hmm, people seem to get off topic pretty quickly. The original question of the thread was whether or not Nexon sucked and made Swipe heal 15% of Base HP and have it say Max HP instead. The math doesn't need to be explained, and I don't think anybody cares where Swipe is 'supposed' to be used. That's just random opinions.
Why didn't I lock this earlier...?

[quote=hymme0001]Just be glad you have a drain skill. The only other bowmen class that gets one is BMs, but theirs is really weak. Just think of the drain as an attack boost to your mobbing skill.[/quote]

I don't get your logic. Drain is really weak because BMs use it for healing only and not mobbing >_>. There is a reason ours heal 50% and not 15%.

I don't even think the hp you get from your jaguar is counted toward your base hp. Swipe is one of the worst drains I've ever seen.

-You can't heal more than 15% of your base hp. In other words, you can't heal a total of 16% of your HP in one use of Swipe. So if by some chance you're hitting max with swipe, you'll only recover 5% of the damage dealt, but you'll only recover HP equal to 15% of your base HP.
-Meaning if you had, let's say, 100 HP. You hit max and recover 5% of your damage as HP, so in theory you'd get 49999.95 HP back, but since you only recover a maximum of 15% of your HP bar, and using the example of 100 HP, you'd only recover 15 hp per swipe.
-Also, you don't multiply the % of hp into your range. Just google "_ _% of _ _ _ _ _" and you'll get roughly what you get back.

I've got no link skills on this guy. But I think the problem is character cards. Just probably means the skill is misleading, since Max HP � Base HP...

This. You may have CS or Kaiser link skills.

Like I said, 3800 base. 15% is 570. Is it just that Nexon sucks?
