Just looking for some clarity

So I've been wondering about how Nexon's bad choice of wording on the skill "Spirit Bond 1". It claims to give 1% HP on hit, but from what? 1% HP when you deal damage? 1% HP when you are damaged? Nearly all your attacking skills are "spirit skills" and the tool tip claims to recover damage when "bonded with the spirits".

When I've been training, I haven't noticed my HP going up when I fight. For example, let's say my HP is a flat 1k. I should be getting around 10 hp on hit, roughly. I hit them with, let's say Spirit Claw. It should give me 80 hp, as it hits 8 times for 10 hp each from the 1% of the 1k HP. If I had taken 100 damage, I'd be 20 HP short of full HP, but I didn't see any increase in my HP.

The only increase I've seen was after I hit 150 for my CRA top, as its 2L unique pot gave 60% HP items and skills (two lines of 30% HP items/skills)

Another thing I'd like to know: Is it 1% off TOTAL health, or CURRENT health? Nexon didn't do a great job with this aspect TBH, but overall, great class.

Spirit Claw hits 8 times but counts as a single skill use (Situations like this has been contemplated before when Marksman had 8-hit Strafe but FinalAttack only activated once). So a single skill use of SC would heal you only 1%, not 8%.
And it's likely healing 1% of your max hp.
Spirit Frenzy would heal you the fastest but since it's very miniscule and stronger mobs will deal more dmg than you can recover, it's better to just ignore that you even have a 1%hp auto-heal.

it works like da and it just auto regens as you attack without any blue numbers

Indeed.. It may actually just be recovering 1% of your total HP every time you attack.

Erm, do you experience a drain-like effect with those hp equips, or is your total hp just boosted in general?

I'm wondering if you though your max hp would increase with spirit bond, because it does not. Spirit Bond 1 just recovers hp. And it does this when YOU attack. Which is working ATM on my own Shade.

I believe you receive 1% of whatever damage YOU apply to monsters.
