Wow. I drain mine pretty quickly with very heavy usage (casual gaming, multimedia, internet, email, etc.). My screen on time can last roughly 6 hours of usage in any given day.
My heavy usage consist of no gaming, only, emailing, texting, calling, skyping and surfing. IE: I took my phone off the charger last night at around 7 PM , and I used it alot today, actually I was on a 1 1/2 hour call today straight with Sprint, switching by buddy from AT&T to Sprint, and with switching the line, listening to all the plans for him, answering all the questions, signing up, buying a phone and then listening to her go through all the info again, LOL it is 9 PM right now and I have 51 % battery, I emailed and texted all day, I called all day, Skype and surfed all day. 
I also have Google Now turned off

LOL. I don't use it much as a phone.
More like a small portable tablet.

Given the difficulty of describing 'usage' during the day in a quantitative way I track my device as to how much charge it loses overnight.
Typically with WiFi, GPS and the phone on I lose 4% over 9 hours. I guess the main variable there is that I have a very poor signal strength so the loss may well be less with a better signal. Just out of curiosity, I tried it with GPS on but in 'Airplane Mode' last night and lost 2% over a similar time period.
That said, I should add that I take quite a hard approach to disabling bloatware, syncing emails etc.
PS Bluetooth off in both cases

Well maybe I am lucky and that my Note II is still only a few weeks old, also could be because I am rooted, so I have much of the bloat removed, but I have no issues up to date with battery, I can tell you this it put my 3VO in it's back pocket for battery use, I barely got 5 hours at any given time with that device.

With the stock battery, I will usually be at 25% by 10 or 11pm(4-5 hours of screen time). With my extended battery I get 2 days usually with around 11-13 hours of screen time. I keep Wifi on 24/7 and bt and gps off.
