Eye of draining

Useful Info

Eyes of draining are floating organs which have no physical attacks. Instead, they attack the player by draining 10% of their current maximum health with each cast of their Draining Gaze, which can be extremely dangerous if left unchecked. Negative energy resistance can reduce this to 5%, 2%, and 0% with rN+, rN++ and rN+++ respectively. They can be found mainly in the Slime Pits, or very rarely in the Depths.
