Healing Staff Efficiency

[Lapin Angelique]

I'm contemplating if I'm going to make an overupgraded Healing Staff using Enriched Oridecons, but I'm kinda doubting its capabilities and think it will be a waste of investment.

Does anyone have screenies of their Heal with and without an overupgraded Healing Staff? Before and after, perhaps. Thanks.

[Jin Atsuko]

I don't have any screenshots at the moment, but I can say it is definitely a noticable increase in heal.

My hp's heal is 2318 before a +8 healing staff and 2596 with it.

Plus 10 would only be like 267x-ish.

In my opinion, the most cost effective overupgrade is +8. If you've got the funds to waste, or get particularly lucky, go for +10.

[frapps]

^i'll 2nd that go for +8

its a nice addition to any priest but the extra 50ish heal isnt worth the cost of a +10

[midi]

I personally have a 8, its really nice imo for sancs and mvping tanking.
some mvps b4 I couldn't keep up w/ outhealing damage like drake for example, had to use pots, but now w/ healstaff no need.
Before my heal was like 2.5 now its 2.8

It goes even more if you have 120 or more INT...you'll love it especially if you're a pure INT build like ME type.

[Asesino]

I have a +7 and I borrow a +8 for mobbing. I really like the heal, and I find it easier to manage my sp. I don't have screenshots but I could make some later and post them.

[Frost]

No. Don't go for it. EP12 is just around the corner and the battlegrounds healing staff would be just as good. It also costs nothing.

[Joey]

to figure out healing with a +10 healing rod you take an average HP heal (2520 or 2700) and multiply it by 1.15 and you get the value of what they heal for after they equip the healing rod.
so like in the screenshots above, a 2520 heal goes to 2898 and a ~2700 heal goes to ~3100.

sry, but your calc are wrong.
Healing staff increase you BASE heal amount by a % depends on ur upgrade.
take and example of BASE heal of 2268 (which a normal priest can ezily gets it)
Meditation is +20% of that making it 2721.6 (2721 coz the round down thing) having a +10 healing staff (+15%) will not boost your heal 15% form 2721 and makes it 3129. instead it will boost your heal 35% (the meditatio + the healing staff effect) form 2268 makes it 3061.

[Prince Joseph]

They are the same..

a (b * c) = (a* b) c

Where:
A = Base Heal
B = Meditatio
C = Healing Staff bonus

[Raindrop`]

Joey and Prince Joseph are correct. Strangely, the heal bonuses from meditatio and the healing staff are multiplicative instead of additive. bioha3's calculations are wrong as they assume the bonuses are additive. They match the numbers shown in Doddler's translated calculator which is also wrong.

Best advice in this thread. Strong Recovery Staff adds +14% heal while a +8 healing Staff only adds +12%.

[Pallas]

Speedy Recovery Staff is also a nice one for tanking mobs and everyday leveling--I would rather have a faster heal than a bigger one in most PvM circumstances.

For Sanctuary, though, "Strong" would probably be better!

You have the aspd where this will actually be reality?

[Spud]

what

[Joey]

A rod enchanted with powers to heal, optimized to be for quick healing.
MATK + 15%, INT + 3, Dex + 2
Decreases delay aftercast on all skills by 15%.
Recover 5SP every 10 seconds.strings gets rid of like 90% of the after cast delay on skills, and every priest has enough aspd to benefit from strings. i think 15% should be no problem.

SCORE my 99-agi HP will come in handy. /fistshake

[hyori]

lol i was playing around with studded knuckle on my HP, aspd went down to 18, i could feel a HUGE difference in the speed at which i was healing/buffing!

Strings definitely trumps the 15% from Speedy Recovery--but if you don't have a minstrel (I often don't!), a slightly faster heal by yourself is nice. I don't have any AGI, but even so I do notice a difference.

At any rate, I do agree with most of the posters here--Strong Recovery Staff will give you a bigger heal, at (likely) a lower cost than a +10 Healing Staff. But I still like the Speedy! :B

[margafred]

Isn't that the same thing?
+10 Healing staff - +15% more heal
Speedy Recovery Staff - +15% healing speed
If from heal rate per second view,i think both are the same.

Anyway i'm just gonna get all anyway... :P

[Mallia F'tero]

Unless you can make a +10 Healing Staff I would just hold off and get the other staff form BG because they are amazing. Trying it out on Sakray a +7 Healing Staff holds no wind to it at all. I was healing for about 2300 with a +7healing and when I used the healing staff form BG it went up about 2500.

The BG Strong Recovery Staff will likely give you similar results for less cost, but good luck +10ing Healing Staves!

[margafred]

Actually i think Healing Staff is easier for me to get compared to the BG stuffs...some ppl (like me) that played in a lower population server with lesser ppl active in PvP fight will have troubles to collect the medals needed before they can exchange it for the BG Recovery staff. :(

When Divine cross was bugged and gave 190 atk speed our highpriest could heal bomb kill necromancers in like 5 seconds? or something crazy lol

You have to win Flavius 9 times and you can get the staff.

[Andry]

Healing staff increases amount of heal from sanctuary too right??

[Crypto]

Anyway, I believe that Healing Staff will only get better if get a slotted version, by slot enchant or adding a slotted version in drops;
By now, the BG is better.

You have to win Flavius 11 times and lose once and you can get the staff.
fixed!

[Jayed]

+7 Dress hat adds +6%, so that should make you 931...

[Kyrie]

Dress Hat?
