> [@Ivar](#): > > Does anyone remember that Crimson Bat wasn’t supposed to gain 16 life with his spell, but after some feedback from us, in general, the devs decided to leave him this way? Nit: Crimson Bat’s damage was nerfed (scaled with 1/2 Magic) and the damage was turned into life steal. The feedback from us caused the devs to revert him to doing unscaled damage and to change his life gain to a flat 16, after some comments from them about how the forum-goers’ usage of Bat differed from the community at large. The change the devs had in mind would have caused the Bat to gain significantly more Life per cast, at the cost of damage throughput; ultimately this change was incorporated in the Mythic Draakulis instead. > [@Ghost in a Shell](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/ghost-in-a-shell/8011/4): > > Crimson Bat\* Spell has changed to back to original design.
