For players aiming for 50 vitality, I recommend stopping at 49 rather than 50, for two reasons:
 * 1) There are two different caps at level 49 and 50: Growth goes from 15 to 11 then to 9. Level 50 doesn't give as much as level 49.
 * 2) For the little 11 health gained from level 50, your total hp will be bumped from 1489 to 1500 Health, which will increase the damage taken from Power Within from 14 to 15 per second. This is also true for players using the Ring of Favor and Protection, which will bump the player from 1786 to 1800, which will increase the taken from 17 to 18 per second. This means players using the spell will actually have lost advantage after 11 seconds, and then will have negative returns after that.
