How much damage does a release soul from a Vampiric Curse inflict?

Not much detail on Vampiric Curse. How much damage does the soul of a victim of a Vampiric Curse inflict? With Accursed Touch, 200% damage is applied. 200% of what? The stored soul does it save the amount of damage that was used to kill it and that amount is returned?

What kind of damage is this attack? Physical damage? Shadow?

They are decent but nothing to build around. I am guessing its shadow damage but who knows.

Posts like these are a perfect example of how messed up D4 is. People playing the game don’t even really understand what is going on and what is working vs what is broken or not working properly.

I think they depend on your max health and if you’re fortified or not. So like double your health or something?but I think it’s spread between them. So it’s not say 14k per dude.

I don’t know I kinda like it. Not the most damaging at all, even if you had 20k health. Unless you can get them to spawn constantly. Then that would be pretty awesome.

I was dreading having to ask this myself but since this really IS that undocumented I figured I’d chime in. I can’t believe they make no mention of the amount of damage OR the element type (if any). I’ve googled this like 5 different ways and this thread is the only relevant result I found. Everything else is copy+paste+regurgitate patch note info with fancy graphics added in and no additional info that’s actually useful.

I’m going to try to test the damage type if I manage to get the Tal Rasha Ring and I’ll post what I can find.

Update: Got the ring finally and it does NOT appear to work for the ring’s elemental stack unfortunately. I can only assume that the souls do either non-specific damage or physical damage which would also not work with the ring. I made sure I was only using lightning damage and I would engage a fight by teleporting close enough for the souls to hit a mob by themselves. I never got a stack from it.
