Healing Bonus Stacking

[ArgentMage]

OK, I've looked around and can't find a definitive answer to these stacking
bonus questions, so I have to ask. Of the following bonuses, which ones stack?

- Devotion/Ardor item
- Cleric Life Magic
- Wand/Scroll Mastery
- Human Improved Recovery

And finally, do any of the above affect potions?

Thanks for any insight you might have.

devotion does not stack with ardor clicky or potency. the highest counts
life magic stacks with either of the beforementioned
wand/scroll mastery stacks with nothing. just works on exactly those only.
human improved recovery works only on incoming healing, not healing done.

Sounds good, thanks.

So then the only thing that would work with potions is Improved Recovery?

Emp heal+ Devotion + Life magic = Win game XD

Your healing spells (ones you cast) stack like this:

1) Add the highest Potency/Ardor/Devotion/Efficacy bonus you have (NOTE: Ardor ONLY provides 1.5 times the bonus indicated in the tooltip at present) to the bonus you get from Cleric Life Magic. Add 100%.

Example: Superior Ardor 8 (75% although the tooltip will say 50%) + Cleric Life Magic 4 (40%) + 100% = 215%.

Divide by 100% (here we get 2.15). This is your cleric spell factor.


2) Calculate your metamagic multiplier as follows:

Case 1: Casting the spell Heal or Mass Heal:
1.5 - Empower Healing is turned on
1 - otherwise

Case 2: Casting a Cure or Mass Cure spell
1 - No metamagics
1.5 - Exactly one of Empower Spell, Empower Healing.
2 - Maximize Spell OR both of Empower Healing, Empower Spell
2.5 - Maximize Spell AND exactly one of Empower Spell, Empower Healing
3 - All of those three metamagics


3) Calculate your crit factor as follows:

Case 1: The spell is not a crit - 1
Case 2: The spell is a crit: 1.5 + boosts to crit intensity from 'Prayer of Incredible Life' line (0.25 per enhancement taken, most clerics consider these a poor use of AP) + boosts to crit intensity from Healing Lore or Arcane Lore (only the best item applies).


To calculate the amount healed, multiply the cleric spell factor by the metamagic multiplier and then multiply by the crit factor, then multiply this by the base amount your spell heals for. Then, multiply this by the healing amplification of the target (base 1 for fleshies, 0.5 for WF with no Healer's Friend or 0.65 for WF with one level of Healer's Friend).



That's how everything stacks.
