couldn't sleep last night so i wanted to put down some numbers to find out the best usage of metamagics, with appropriate gear, in regards to healing.
I basically wanted something concrete to look at in regards to a cleric healbot, fvs healbot and occ fvs (without emp healing). I was actually a little surprised at what i found to be the more efficient uses of sp in regards to metamagics.
Bear in mind there's no point in running the metamagics for Heal / Mass heal as it's either have or have not with emp heal.
Feel free to correct any of my math or assumptions in regards to items / enhancements.
Note: didn't feel like running the numbers for the abbott staff as i was thinking more along the lines of the main hand scroll healer. wonder if the staff would change the numbers but too tired to care. Also wondering if the warchanter set (-4 maximize) stacks with the gloves of the glacier. If it did it would bring maximize for fvs (alone) more in line with the other metamagics.
Formula:
For the below calculations i'm actually only showing B/C to get the numbers i'm looking for. I left A in the equation as it was useful in determining HP / SP after the fact or comparing Less efficient but higher heal amount (in a less amount of time) metamagic combinations.
AB/C
A = Spell HP Gain (averaged)
B = Multiplier (ie base + enhancements + items)
C = Spell Points
Spell Hp Averages
Clw Mass = 1d8 + 20 = 24.5
Cmw Mass = 2d8 + 20 = 29
Csw Mass = 3d8 + 20 = 33.5
Ccw Mass = 4d8 + 20 = 38
Multipliers
Assumes turbines calculation of multiplier = Base (1) + Enhancement + Metamagic
Base = 1
Enhancements = .4
Empower Heal = .5
Empower = .5
Maximize = 1
Note: Did seperate calculations for Base (no modifier), +50% (Potency, Efficacy, Devotion), +75% (Superior Ardor VIII belt)
Spell Points
Pretty basic, base sp cost + (metamagic amount - equipment / enhancement modifiers)
Metamagics and Modifiers
Empower Heal (10 base sp)
-4 sp from Cleric enhancements
-2 sp fro Lorrik's Necklace, Epic Bejeweled Letter Opener
Empower (base 15 sp)
-6 sp from Fvs enhancements
-2 sp from Ring of Thelis, Skiver
Maximize (base 25 sp)
-4 sp from Gloves of the Glacier
Note: there are a few other items that give bonuses to these but they are either lower level than those shown or not worth the effort (read abbot necky :P)
My biggest concern atm is that i was overtired and missed something obvious. thought i was pretty thorough but i could have messed it up. that's why i posting it here.
