Hello,

As I understand the game, healing power increases the base healing of the skill, the result is directly displayed in the skill bar.
Then come the “outgoing heal bonuses”. And I have some troubles with this, when I do the maths I find that I should heal much more than actually I do.

I play revenant with tablet, healer spec, and with traits,foods,cachets,runes it is possible to reach +211% of outgoing heal, which means I should heal 3 times whats is written in the skill bar (when healing 5 allies at the same time with more than 50 energy)

And this, my friends, never happened, I’ve never seen a 9k heal in raids… so I am a bit confused..

So here is my question : is there a cap on outgoing heal bonuses ? like you can’t do more than doubling your outgoing heal (which means +100% outgoing heal would be the max, like boon/condi duration)

Thanks in advance

Doesn’t this depend on how much HP so one currently has? Idk to be honest. But if someone is only down by 9k and you heal for 15k but the log shows 9k that would make sense. Idk tho.

Logs show you the actual heal, so that’s what you say yes

One explanation could be that the revenant trait that grants +25% heal per target is about the healing stat and not about the outgoing heal. I will make sure tomorrow

When calculating your healing output you have to keep in mind that each skill has it’s own scaling factor. Which means each skill will benefit more or less from that 211%. Here is the formula: Total healing = source-specific base healing + Healing Power * source-specific scaling factor.
