Boon of Undeath Question

[Gabrion]

Pretty basic - I'm wondering if the healing a Pale Master gets from boon of undeath can be modified in any way (metas, spell power, etc). I'm really interested in information from anyone who has actually tested this. I did a search and looked at tons of threads, but found nothing (and the wiki doesn't expand on boon either). Thanks to anyone who has this info.

I think the only way to boost it would be negative amplification, so the deathwyrm cloak & pale master enhancements - it's essentially a guard effect where the proc hits you instead of the enemy & those things typically don't have any scaling.

Thinking of that, a new guard augment (or selection of them) which scales in the same method as the ruby eye ones for weapons could be a pretty handy thing to have.. elemental ones for "standard" guard-type effects then a "greater boon of undeath" one for PMs maybe.

Hmm, that's what I was afraid of. Still, anyone out there who has tested this particular mechanic?

Bumping one last time to see if anyone has more info. Are there any other items in game that have negative amp, besides the deathwyrm cloak?

No, there is no other way to boost this effect. Negative energy vulnerability/amplification is the only way. I have a L20 PM as my source for testing.
