Newest Effect (6/7)
# Jun 07 2002 at 10:07 AM Rating: Default
The newest effect is now "Improved Healing 2", which grants a 15% bonus to all heals between 20 and 45. This item is AMAZING for clerics levels 34 to 49 simply due to the fact Superior Healing (which they get at 34) can heal up to 750+ dmg with this item equipped! That's almost as good as the level 60 druid heal spell. /wow

correct me if I'm wrong, but...

at 53 with an SH my cleric will heal for 605 I believe...115% of that is 696 hp, not 750+

also, I was under the impression that <effect> I was level 1 to 20 spells, <effec> II was 1 to 44 spells, and <effect> III was 1 to 60 spells

I am healing for 690~720 with this item on Superior Healing, level 35 Cler, Alteration is at 180, WIS 194, and Spec:Alt is about 116 I think. All of these, to my knowledge, can affect how much you heal for. I'm willing to bet the "up to 750" is considering a level 60 Cleric with 255 WIS, 200 in Alteration, and 200 in Spec:Alt. Not really sure.

#REDACTED, Posted: Jul 29 2002 at 12:52 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) idiocy. think wisdom, alter, or spec alter have anything to do with how much you heal for? no! wisdom determines mana, alter is for fizzle rate, and spec alter only provides mana reduction - the rate is determined by skill. nice sig tho )

You also need to figure in the cleric's healing bonus.

All I know is a level 49 cleric healed me for 759 points of health with Superior Healing :) I never was good at math.

Level 1 items work for spells 1 to 20
Level 2 items work for spells 21 to 44
Level 3 items work for spells 45 to 60

I have a Healing 3 item. My 880 Natures Touch heal, hits for up to 1100 now.

Close but not quite..

Level 1 items work for spells 1 to 20
Level 2 items work for spells 1 to 44
Level 3 items work for spells 1 to 60

I have several level 2 items and they all seem to effect my sub-20 spells, i.e. sow, lev, etc. so this means that if you have an item with a level 3 effect there's no sense in getting another item with the same effect of a lesser level. I.E. if you have something with Extended Affliction 3 don't bother getting one with Extended Affliction 1 or 2

Yes, I have a few lvl I, II, and III items and level II DOES affect spells below 20, and III works the same way.

I am pretty sure that it gives a 20% bonus, not 15%, at least my 77-85 pt heal was hitting near 100 almost all the time with my Improved healing 1 piece.
nice book

Just looted this last night 5-10-02 off of a regular zol knight in Disco 2. The int and wis plus mana bonus is nice but any extra MR makes this a permanent item in my secondary. Was an awesome night, in about 1.5 hours we looted this, a JBB, slimey harpoon, and a clay guardian shield. 2 lvl 59 rogues are simply a killing machine.

nerf?
# Dec 19 2001 at 1:48 PM Rating: Decent
did they really nerf this, can i get a conformation? Are the old one's still primary slot, or do i just have to give up getting a book for my primary? e-mail me @ superjosh191@hotmail.com
RE: nerf?
# Dec 25 2001 at 6:59 PM Rating: Default
yeah, this is secondary slot only. if you really want a book for your primary slot, get a Spirit Tome. its 6wis 6int primary secondary and it has a nice open book look to it. but, depending on server, you could be paying up to 1k for one.
Book is now Secondary only

I picked one up on 11-19-2001. As of that date <prolly earlier>, the Book of Obulus is secondary only. That negates any chance of holding Testament of Vanear and Book of Obulus....so the logical alternative is Paw and Book of Obulus. I have 200 wis with ToV and PoO but only 198 wis with PoO and BoO. All in all, the resists benefit you more than the +10 mana from the ToV. Quite happy as I got an excellent deal in a trade for the BoO.
Has any seen a BoO that is not secondary recently?

I got one of these from a high level RL pal. Wow, did I ever get more useful in groups! I expect that Iwill be keeping this thing around for a loooong time- wouldn't be surprised to wield it alongside my epic in about 31 levels=)
No way
# Oct 05 2001 at 10:37 PM Rating: Decent
so what it has -2 wis under the ToV, that 2 wis wouldent make up 35mana. same true with the int, in caster apps, this book gives more mana from int and mana stats that it kills the stine of moggok
Resists

Going on WIS and Mana alone this would be about even with the Testament but when you add the resists it moves in front.

sweet

ToV and BoO :)
hmm
# Jun 27 2001 at 8:13 AM Rating: Default
Testament of Vanear, +10 WIS +10 mana
Book of Obulus, -2 WIS, +35 mana

Thats in tearms of just mana and wis to us wis casters. Very nice
