Radiant Servant I & II

[Grieve]

I realize this may not be the perfect place to put this but before I random try to bug report something I want to find out if it is actually working as intended.

Ok, I just noticed something on my TR'd Cleric. According to the text for Radiant Servant I & II, each tier reads that it is supposed to adjust the caster level of the spell when using Positive Energy & Light Based spells by 1 caster level (total of 2 caster levels). Based on this assumption a 16 cleric should be able to cast at an 18th level for Heals, which would include the Healing Aura that is bumped up another tier at 18th level. I noticed that on my TR'd Cleric that is 16/3/1 that the aura is not hitting as hard on my guildies as it did when my Cleric was 17/3 (the 17/3 aura hit just as mush as my previous 18/2 split). Now, maybe the text is just confusing, but I would think that with 16 levels of Cleric the aura should tick the same as an 18th level Cleric based on the text description for Radiant Servant.

If anyone knows more about this topic, I would appreciate your insight on it. If this is not WAI, then hopefully the developers could possibly work on fixing this issue.

Update: I figured out the what I was doing differently. It does seem to be working properly. I just forgot to have certain gear equipped this life that I had last life.

Since the healing aura is not a spell, i don't see how this applies.

I'm sorry, but it sounds like your complaint is that the healing aura is not taking advantage of the Radiant Servent's level boost, correct?

This "bug" does nothing to help the player base, and so it will not receive any attention. If you can find some way to show that the aura being less effective is in any way helpful or fun, then you should feel free to anticipate a nerf... I mean, adjustment.

Just kidding - go ahead and visualize this issue being fixed all you want

The Empower Healing metamagic now grants you a 75% bonus to healing spells instead of 50%, and you count as an additional 1 Level higher when channeling positive energy or light based spells

The Positive Energy Aura is considered a level 6 Positive Energy spell by Potency effects.

(Oddly, I know that Greater Ardor 5 pots affect it....hmmmmm)


For the OP (Same source)

Allies within the aura are healed 1 hit point per 3 caster Levels

18 Caster levels/3 = 6HP
17 Caster levels/3 = 5.666666 rounded down, so 5HP

Now, I'm really terrible at math, but given the information from the wiki, it looks like you should be healing for less, given the same enhancements.

a cleric level 20 heal like a cleric level 18.. it's a bug? you haven't the 2 additional level whit radiant servant..

[havokiano]

20/3= 6,66666
6,66666x1,4 (40% enhancements)= 9,333333333
9,33333x1,75 (empower healing)= 16,33333333
16,33333x1,5 (superior potency 6)= 24,5
16,33333x2 (xachosian)= 32,666666

what's wrong?

if empower healing isn't 75%..
9,33333x1,5 (empower healing 50%)= 13,99995
14x1,5 (superior potency)= 20,99995
14x2 (xachosian)= 27,99999

empower healing whit radiant isn't 75%? why?
I think the 2 additional level don't work and the additional 25% don't work..
