Before: Baal and his clone cannot cast two skills at the same time and have both of them hit you. Many, if not all, of Baal’s missiles have NHD, so if Baal and his clone hit you at the same time, only one of the missiles would deal damage.

Regeneration happens on every game tick (frame) using bit health val…

only baal and death maulers have abilities with NHD where you’d see an impact. death maulers are the fingers into the ground monsters
