==True Magical Healing==
==Healing Formula==
Magical Healing is utilized by [[Cleric]]'s heal spells and [[Warlock]]'s Torture Mastery as well as [[Healing_Potion|Healing Potions]] and [[Troll's Blood]], , but not Warlock's Life Drain.  
The following fully expanded formula can be applied to all types of Heals, though not all types will be affected by every part of the formula. See each healing subsection for specifics.<br><br>


All Magical Healings benefit from both +Magical Healing and Magical Power Bonus [[Enchantments|enchantments]], but at varying [[Damage Calculation#Attribute Bonus Ratio|Scaling]]. [[Cleric]]’s Advanced Healer perk is counted as +Magical Healing and is affected by scaling. [[Warlock]]’s Vampirism perk grants 1.2x Healing which factors after all other bonuses and is not affected by scaling. The +Magical Healing enchantment specifically affects your own healing, not heals received from others. Stacking +Magical Healing on the healing recipient will not cause them to receive more healing. The caster must be the one wearing +Magical Healing in order to benefit.
Instant Base Heals:<br>
<code> Total Healing = (Base Heal + Physical/Magical Healing Add * Scaling) * (1 + Physical/Magic Power Bonus * Scaling) * (1 + Physical/Magical Healing Mod) </code>
<br><br>
[[Damage Calculation#Damage/Healing over Time|Heal over Times]] (see link for specifics):<br>
<code> Total Healing = (Base Heal + Physical/Magical Healing Add * Scaling) * (1 + Physical/Magic Power Bonus * Scaling) * (1 + Physical/Magical Healing Mod) * floor(Duration Base * (1 + Buff Duration)) / Duration Base </code>
<br>


Note that Sanctuary is not a Heal over time but rather a Channel, therefore it scales per second channeled.
==Healing Add==
Torture Mastery is also not a Heal over time, and simply heals and scales per second that the target receives damage from Curse of Pain / Power of Sacrifice.
Adds to the base heal. Examples include, but are not limited to:
* [[Cleric]]'s Advanced Healer perk
* [[Enchantments]]


[[Barbarian]]'s Potion Chugger perk alters Healing Potions to heal for 20% more health in a 20% shorter duration.
Affects both [[Healing#Physical_Base_Healing|Magical]]/[[Healing#Physical_Base_Healing|Physical Base Healing]], but not any other healing types.


[[Damage_Calculation#Attribute_Bonus_Ratio|Scaling]] info:
Affected by [[Scaling]].
*Lesser Heal = 100% per cast
*Holy Light = 100% per cast
*Sanctuary = 50% per second channeled (250% total)
*Torture Mastery = 25% per second
*Healing Potions = 50% per drink
*Troll's Blood = 50% per drink


===Formulas===
==Power Bonus==
If Vampirism is active, include it as ".2" for 20% in the formula below.
Multiplies the healing dealt. Affects only [[Healing#Physical_Base_Healing|Magical]] healing, and not [[Healing#Physical_Base_Healing|Physical]] Healing nor any other healing types.


For instant heals (this also includes Cleric's Sanctuary and Warlock's Torture Mastery)


<code>Total Healing = (Base Heal + Magical Healing * Scaling) * (1 + Magic Power Bonus * Scaling) * (1 + Vampirism)</code>
Affected by [[Scaling]]


For [[Damage Calculation#Damage/Healing over Time|Heal over Times]] (Healing Potions / Troll's Blood):
==Healing Mod==
Multiplies the healing after Power Bonus.


<code>Total Healing = (Base Heal + Magical Healing * Scaling) * (1 + Magic Power Bonus * Scaling) * (1 + Vampirism) * floor(Duration Base * (1 + Buff Duration))/(Duration Base)</code>
Affects all sources of Healing, without any known exceptions.


For Potion Chugger: (note that you cannot have both Vampirism and Potion chugger perks at the same time)
Examples include:
* [[Warlock]]'s Vampirism perk.
* [[Wizard]]'s Fire Mastery perk


<code>Total Healing = (Base Heal + Magical Healing * Scaling) * (1 + Magic Power Bonus * Scaling) * (1 + Vampirism) * 1.2/(Duration Base * .8) * floor(Duration Base * .8 * (1 + Buff Duration))</code>
''Not affected by [[Scaling]].''
 
==Potion Chugger==
[[Barbarian]]'s Potion Chugger perk does not apply Healing Mod, but instead applies a final multiplier applied at the end of the calculation. This is left out of the formula for simplicity.
As such, Potion Chugger stacks multiplicatively with Healing Mod.
For example, if Vampirism and Potion chugger were combined (requires [[Training|Multi-classing]]), it would be a total of 1.2*1.2 = 1.44x Healing - so, effectively the same as .44 Healing Mod.
 
''Not affected by [[Scaling]].''
 
==Magical Base Healing==
Magical Healing is utilized by [[Cleric]]'s heal spells, [[Warlock]]'s Torture Mastery, [[Potion of Healing|healing potions]], [[Troll's Blood]], healing [[Shrines|shrines]], and more.
 
All Magical Healing benefits from both Magical Healing Add and Magical Power Bonus but with varying [[Damage Calculation#Attribute Bonus Ratio|Scaling]], and is affected by Healing Mod at the end of the calculation.
 
Note that Sanctuary is not a Heal Over Time but rather a [[channel]], therefore it scales per tick (1s base) channeled.
Torture Mastery is also not a HoT but a new instance of healing every second that the target receives damage from Curse of Pain / Power of Sacrifice.
 
[[Barbarian]]'s Potion Chugger perk alters healing potions to heal for 20% more health.
 
Following list is not meant to be exhaustive, scaling on each can be found on their respective pages
[[Scaling]] info:
*[[Cleric]]'s Lesser Heal = 100% per cast
*[[Cleric]]'s Holy Light = 100% per cast
*[[Cleric]]'s Sanctuary = 50% per second channeled (250% total)
*[[Warlock]]'s Torture Mastery = 10% per second
*[[Potion of Healing]] = 50% per drink
*[[Troll's Blood]] = 50% per drink
*[[Shrines|Shrine of Health]] = 100% once
*[[Warlock]]'s Shadow Touch = 0%


===Examples===
===Examples===
====Torture Mastery====
====Torture Mastery====
Torture Mastery with +5 Magical Healing, 30% Magical Power Bonus, and the Vampirism perk will heal for  
Torture Mastery (2 base) with 5 Magical Healing Add, 30% Magical Power Bonus, and the Vampirism perk will heal for  
 
<code>Heal per second = (1 + 5*.25)(1 + .3*.25) * 1.2 = 2.9025 HP per second</code>


<code>Heal per second = (2 + 5 * 0.1)(1 + 0.1 * 0.3) * 1.2 = 3.09 HP per second</code>


====Healing Potion====
====Healing Potion====
For example with a Common Healing Potion, +4 Magical Healing, +6% Buff Duration, 0% Magical Power Bonus, and the Vampirism perk at a base of 15 health over 30 seconds will heal:
For example with a Common Healing Potion, 4 Magical Healing Add, +6% Buff Duration, 0% Magical Power Bonus, at a base of 15 health over 30 seconds with Vampirism:


<code>Total Healing = (15 + 4/2)/(30) * floor(30 * (1 + .06)) * 1.2</code>
<code>Total Healing = (15 + 4 * 0.5) * floor(30 * 1.06) / 30 * 1.2</code>


<code>= 17/30 * 31 * 1.2</code>
<code>= 17 * 31 / 30 * 1.2</code>


<code>= 21.08 health over 31s</code>
<code>= 21.08 health over 31s</code>


Note that this does in fact heal 21.08 health and not 21 nor 22 as there is decimal HP, although the health display in game always [[Damage Calculation#Rounding|rounds]] up. See [[Damage Calculation#Damage/Healing over Time|Damage/Healing over Time]]  for more.

<code>= 20.4 health over 15s</code>


==True Physical Healing==
Note that the duration actually lasts 15.9s, but only 15s of healing occurs.
True Physical Healing is utilized by [[Campfire Kit|Campfire Kits]], [[Bard]]'s Jolly Time, and [[Ranger]]'s Field Ration.


All True Physical Healing scales with the +Physical Healing [[Enchantments|enchantment]] but not with Physical Power Bonus.
==Physical Base Healing==
Physical Healing is utilized by [[Campfire Kit|Campfire Kits]], [[Bard]]'s Jolly Time, [[Ranger]]'s Field Ration, [[Surgical Kit]]s, and more.


Since [[Campfire Kit|Campfire Kits]] are not a Buff, they receive 100% scaling on +Physical Healing per second.  
Physical Healing scales with the Physical Healing Add [[Enchantments|enchantment]] but NOT with Physical Power Bonus.


[[Damage_Calculation#Attribute_Bonus_Ratio|Scaling]] info:
Since [[Campfire Kit|Campfire Kits]] are not a Buff, they receive 100% scaling on Physical Healing Add per second, rather than to the total amount.
*Campfire Kits = 100% per second
*Bard's Jolly Time = 100% per ale
*Ranger's Field Ration = 100% per ration


===Formulas===
Following list is not meant to be exhaustive, scaling on each can be found on their respective pages
<code>Heal per instance = (Base Heal + Physical Healing*Scaling)</code>
[[Scaling]] info:
For Campfire Kits, multiply by the duration which is unaffected by Buff Duration to get the total healing.
*[[Campfire Kit]] = 100% per second
*[[Bard]]'s Jolly Time = 100% per ale
*[[Ranger]]'s Field Ration = 100% per ration
*[[Surgical Kit]] = 0% scaling

Using a Common Campfire with +1 Physical Healing will heal (3+1) HP per second for 21 seconds, unaffected by the Buff Duration stat, totaling to 84 health.
Using a Common Campfire with 1 Physical Healing Add will heal (3+1) HP per second for 21 seconds, unaffected by the Buff Duration stat, totaling to 84 health.


=True Base Healing=
True Base Healing is not affected by Healing Add nor Power Bonus, but is by [[Healing#Healing_Mod|Healing Mod]].


==Other Healing==
Examples of this include, but are not limited to:
===Healing Shrines===
* looking for examples
Healing [[Shrines]] are interactable objects in the Dungeons that, when interacted with, will heal the player for 100 HP with 0% [[Attribute Bonus Ratio|Scaling]].


=== Life Drain ===
Contrary to common belief, [[Warlock]]'s Shadow Touch is not True Base Healing. It is in fact just Base Healing with 0% [[Scaling]].
[[Warlock]]'s Life Drain ability heals the player equal to the damage dealt in a lifesteal fashion. Magical Healing does not affect this, it is only affected by the damage, which has 50% [[Damage Calculation#Attribute Bonus Ratio|Scaling]], as well as the Vampirism perk.

[[File:Recoverable_Health.png]]
[[File:Recoverable_Health.png]]


'''Recoverable Health''' is left behind when the player takes damage, and is represented by a transparent portion of the player's health bar. Most sources of damage will leave behind 65% of their damage as Recoverable Health. As the name suggests, this health can be recovered by various means. All sources of Recoverable healing have 0% [[Attribute Bonus Ratio|Scaling]]
[[Health#Recoverable Health|Recoverable Health]] can be healed by converting it into actual health.
 
When receiving damage/healing (most notably damage), a portion of it will become recoverable, denoted as the darker red part of the health bar.<br>
 
Recoverable Health cannot prevent death on its own, but it can be converted to actual health using Bandages, Resting, and Tranquility.
Recoverable Health is tracked separately from normal HP, and can "overflow" above the player's maximum HP. This means that if the player only heals with conventional healing methods, they can "store" some amount of Recoverable Health over the course of a single life.


Damage/Heal sources have different Conversion Rates that will add a percentage of the incoming amount as recoverable health.

Recoverable Health cannot prevent death on its own, but it can be converted to True Health using Bandages, Resting, and Tranquility.

The Recoverable health pool is increased by a portion of the health change. However, if your recoverable health pool exceeds your missing health afterwards, it instead sets your recoverable health pool equal to your missing health. Note that the recoverable health pool is only updated when you receive damage or use a Bandage/Rest/Tranquility, and not when you are True Healed, Percent Max Health Healed, nor given Temporary Max Health. This can be expressed as:

<code>New Recoverable HP Pool = min(Old Recoverable Pool + Conversion Rate * Damage or Heal Amount, New Missing Health)</code>
<code>New Recoverable HP Pool = min(Old Recoverable Pool + Conversion Rate * Damage or Heal Amount, New Missing Health)</code>
Recoverable Health never has any [[Scaling]]

When Resting, the player will heal 1 Recoverable Health every two seconds which cannot scale. ''(This is not 0.5/s, it is specifically 1 every 2 seconds.)''


As of Hotfix 25, standing up from resting no longer removes your remaining recoverable health, so you can stand up without a worry and continue your resting at a more opportune time.

=Percent Max Health Healing=
Following other trends, this can be considered a Base Heal, as it creates a new Heal instance. This does not mean the Heal is based on your Base health.<br>
Percent Max Health Healing will heal a percentage of your current maximum health, and never scales with Physical/Magical Healing Add nor Magical Power Bonus, but does with Physical/Magical [[Healing#Healing_Mod|Healing Mod]]. The current sources of this are [[Barbarian]]'s Morale Boost & Blood Exchange, [[Fighter]]'s Victory Strike & Second Wind. Second Wind, however, is also in the form of a heal over time, therefore you can receive more healing with longer buff durations.<br><br>
Being neither Physical nor Magical, it cannot scale from Physical/Magical specific sources. However, is affected by Healing Mod, even when negative, like [[Healing#Heal_Reduction|Heal Reduction]].<br><br>


= Percent Max Health Healing =
The Heal amount can also be negative, representing Percent Damage, such as [[Lich]]'s Curse of Gathering/Isolation, [[Warlock]]'s Blood Pact's passive aura Abyssal Flame, or even [[Barbarian]]'s War Sacrifice. Similarly, these are not scaled by Physical/Magical modifiers nor affected by [[Cleric]]'s Perseverance perk. <br> When this is negative, negative Healing Mod does not affect it. When this is negative, it is unknown if positive Healing Mod will affect it. <br>
Percent Max Health Healing will heal a percentage of your current maximum health, and never scales with Physical/Magical Healing nor Magical Power Bonus. The current sources of this are Surgical Kits, Morale Boost, Victory Strike, and Blood Exchange. Second Wind also functions this way, however, it is in the form of a heal over time, therefore you can receive more healing with longer buff durations.

Line 150: Line 196:
<code>Total Heal = .4*100 / 12 * floor(13.2) = 43.33 health</code>
<code>Total Heal = .4*100 / 12 * floor(13.2) = 43.33 health</code>


= Temporary Max Health =
=Other Healing=
Certain abilities, like Cleric’s Bless or Warlock’s Power of Sacrifice, can boost your strength, raising your maximum HP temporarily. This doesn't mean your current HP increases by the same amount, though. Your proportion of remaining HP remains unchanged, even if the maximum changes. This means your health adjusts to reflect the same percentage as before the strength buff was active.
==Life Steal==
<span id="Life Drain"> </span>
[[Warlock]]'s Life Drain ability heals the player equal to the damage dealt in a lifesteal fashion. No modifiers affect this except [[Healing#Healing_Mod|Healing Mod]] as it is based on outgoing damage dealt (meaning before reductions like Magical Damage Reduction).
 
=Heal Reduction=
Heal Reduction is in the form of negative Healing Mod, see [[Healing#Healing_Mod|Healing Mod]] for specifics. <br>


For instance, if you're at 90% of your max HP and you receive an increase in max HP without taking damage, your health stays at 90%, despite the changing max HP value.
Examples of negative Healing Mod include, but are not limited to:
* [[Warlock]]'s Blow of Corruption
* [[Wizard]]'s Fire Mastery


==Examples==
Unknown on how negative Healing mod interacts with negative Heals.
Starting with 100/100 HP. If you receive a temporary 30 max HP and then sustain 30 damage during this period, your HP would initially be 130/130. After the damage, you will drop to 100/130, which is 77%. When the temporary boost ends, your HP reverts to 77 out of 100.


On the other hand, starting at 80/100 HP with an additional 10 Recoverable HP, and then gaining 30 max HP would leave you with 80% of 130, or 104/130. Receiving 30 damage brings you to 74/130 or 57%, and gaining 19.5 Recoverable HP. Once the effect concludes, you will have 57 out of 100 HP, plus your 29.5 total Recoverable HP.
<br>(Needs more testing). Interestingly, these cannot be applied at the same time. If both debuffs are applied, the Heal Reduction value will not be overwritten, but the duration will be overwritten, even if the duration of the second status is shorter.


=Heal Reduction=
Goblin Mage's homing orbs and Famine, the [[Uniques#Axes-0|Unique axe]], seem to work separately to Healing Mod as they reduce all types of Healing, including Recoverable healing, by 100%.
[[Warlock]]'s Blow of Corruption and [[Wizard]]'s Fire Mastery reduces ''incoming'' Physical/Magical healing by 70% and 50% respectively, and Percentage Healing, but not Recoverable healing. This requires the debuff to be on the target that heals from the source. This includes self-heals, as targeting yourself means you are both the outgoing and incoming target. If both debuffs are applied, the Heal Reduction value will not be overwritten, but the duration will be overwritten, even if the duration of the second status is shorter.


Goblin Mage's homing orbs and Famine, the [[Uniques#Axes-0|Unique axe]] reduces all types of Healing, also including Recoverable healing, by 100%.
''Heal reduction seems to currently be bugged and is not reducing by the amount listed, sometimes more, sometimes less - more testing in progress''


=Outgoing vs Incoming=
All healing sources are applied from an outgoing source, and when the target receives them, they are the incoming target. For example, if a [[Cleric]] heals a [[Warlock]], the Cleric is the outgoing source, and the Warlock is the incoming target. <br>
If a [[Warlock]] heals themselves, they are both the outgoing source and the incoming target. The base heal and all modifiers may be applied to either Outgoing or Incoming. For example, [[Cleric]]'s Advanced Healer and +[[Enchantments#Magical Healing|Magical Healing]] enchantment buff specifically outgoing healing.
If that Cleric heals another player or themselves it will be buffed by both, since the Cleric is the outgoing source. If the incoming target has the +Magical Healing enchantment, however, they will not receive bonus healing.


Heal Reduction applies after all bonuses are applied to Healing. (Needs further testing)
Note that since all heals will be either Outgoing or Incoming, all bonuses/reductions will affect a player that is healing themselves as they are both the Outgoing and Incoming target. However, this is before Scaling is taken into account, some heals have 0% [[Damage_Calculation#Attribute Bonus Ratio|Scaling]] in which case it does not matter regardless.

Healing

After losing Health, it can be healed back in various ways!

Healing Formula

The following fully expanded formula can be applied to all types of Heals, though not all types will be affected by every part of the formula. See each healing subsection for specifics.

Instant Base Heals:
Total Healing = (Base Heal + Physical/Magical Healing Add * Scaling) * (1 + Physical/Magic Power Bonus * Scaling) * (1 + Physical/Magical Healing Mod)

Heal over Times (see link for specifics):
Total Healing = (Base Heal + Physical/Magical Healing Add * Scaling) * (1 + Physical/Magic Power Bonus * Scaling) * (1 + Physical/Magical Healing Mod) * floor(Duration Base * (1 + Buff Duration)) / Duration Base

Healing Add

Adds to the base heal. Examples include, but are not limited to:

Affects both Magical/Physical Base Healing, but not any other healing types.

Affected by Scaling.

Power Bonus

Multiplies the healing dealt. Affects only Magical healing, and not Physical Healing nor any other healing types.


Affected by Scaling

Healing Mod

Multiplies the healing after Power Bonus.

Affects all sources of Healing, without any known exceptions.

Examples include:

Not affected by Scaling.

Potion Chugger

Barbarian's Potion Chugger perk does not apply Healing Mod, but instead applies a final multiplier applied at the end of the calculation. This is left out of the formula for simplicity. As such, Potion Chugger stacks multiplicatively with Healing Mod. For example, if Vampirism and Potion chugger were combined (requires Multi-classing), it would be a total of 1.2*1.2 = 1.44x Healing - so, effectively the same as .44 Healing Mod.

Not affected by Scaling.

Magical Base Healing

Magical Healing is utilized by Cleric's heal spells, Warlock's Torture Mastery, healing potions, Troll's Blood, healing shrines, and more.

All Magical Healing benefits from both Magical Healing Add and Magical Power Bonus but with varying Scaling, and is affected by Healing Mod at the end of the calculation.

Note that Sanctuary is not a Heal Over Time but rather a channel, therefore it scales per tick (1s base) channeled. Torture Mastery is also not a HoT but a new instance of healing every second that the target receives damage from Curse of Pain / Power of Sacrifice.

Barbarian's Potion Chugger perk alters healing potions to heal for 20% more health.

Following list is not meant to be exhaustive, scaling on each can be found on their respective pages Scaling info:

Examples

Torture Mastery

Torture Mastery (2 base) with 5 Magical Healing Add, 30% Magical Power Bonus, and the Vampirism perk will heal for

Heal per second = (2 + 5 * 0.1)(1 + 0.1 * 0.3) * 1.2 = 3.09 HP per second

Healing Potion

For example with a Common Healing Potion, 4 Magical Healing Add, +6% Buff Duration, 0% Magical Power Bonus, at a base of 15 health over 30 seconds with Vampirism:

Total Healing = (15 + 4 * 0.5) * floor(30 * 1.06) / 30 * 1.2

= 17 * 31 / 30 * 1.2

= 21.08 health over 31s

Note that this does in fact heal 21.08 health and not 21 nor 22 as there is decimal HP, although the health display in-game always rounds up. See Damage Calculation for more. Also note that the duration actually lasts 31.8s, but effectively only 31s of healing occurs.

Potion Chugger

Barbarian's Potion Chugger perk gives 1.2x Healing as a Final Multiplier.

Using the same example but now with Potion Chugger:

Total Healing = (15 + 4 * 0.5) * floor(30 * 0.5 * 1.06) / (30 * 0.5) * 1.2

= 17 * 15 / 15 * 1.2

= 20.4 health over 15s

Note that the duration actually lasts 15.9s, but only 15s of healing occurs.

Physical Base Healing

Physical Healing is utilized by Campfire Kits, Bard's Jolly Time, Ranger's Field Ration, Surgical Kits, and more.

Physical Healing scales with the Physical Healing Add enchantment but NOT with Physical Power Bonus.

Since Campfire Kits are not a Buff, they receive 100% scaling on Physical Healing Add per second, rather than to the total amount.

Following list is not meant to be exhaustive, scaling on each can be found on their respective pages Scaling info:

Examples

Campfire

Using a Common Campfire with 1 Physical Healing Add will heal (3+1) HP per second for 21 seconds, unaffected by the Buff Duration stat, totaling to 84 health.

True Base Healing

True Base Healing is not affected by Healing Add nor Power Bonus, but is by Healing Mod.

Examples of this include, but are not limited to:

  • looking for examples

Contrary to common belief, Warlock's Shadow Touch is not True Base Healing. It is in fact just Base Healing with 0% Scaling.

Recoverable Healing

Recoverable Health.png

Recoverable Health can be healed by converting it into actual health.

When receiving damage/healing (most notably damage), a portion of it will become recoverable, denoted as the darker red part of the health bar.

Recoverable Health cannot prevent death on its own, but it can be converted to actual health using Bandages, Resting, and Tranquility. Recoverable Health is tracked separately from normal HP, and can "overflow" above the player's maximum HP. This means that if the player only heals with conventional healing methods, they can "store" some amount of Recoverable Health over the course of a single life.

Damage/Heal sources have different Conversion Rates that will add a percentage of the incoming amount as recoverable health.

  • Player/Monster Damage: 65%
  • Damage over Times: 65%
  • Death Swarm: 100%
  • Warlock's Spell's Health cost: 100%
  • Bandages -100%
  • Resting -100%
  • Bard's Tranquility -100%


Note that some are negative because they convert it into actual health rather than damaging you.

The Recoverable health pool is increased by a portion of the health change. However, if your recoverable health pool exceeds your missing health afterwards, it instead sets your recoverable health pool equal to your missing health. Note that the recoverable health pool is only updated when you receive damage or use a Bandage/Rest/Tranquility, and not when you are True Healed, Percent Max Health Healed, nor given Temporary Max Health. This can be expressed as:

New Recoverable HP Pool = min(Old Recoverable Pool + Conversion Rate * Damage or Heal Amount, New Missing Health)

Recoverable Health never has any Scaling

Resting

When Resting, the player will heal 1 Recoverable Health every two seconds which cannot scale. (This is not 0.5/s, it is specifically 1 every 2 seconds.)

As of Hotfix 25, standing up from resting no longer removes your remaining recoverable health, so you can stand up without a worry and continue your resting at a more opportune time.

Tips

  • Entering Inferno will set Recoverable HP to 50% (needs further testing) of missing health.
  • Dying will remove all Recoverable HP if later revived.

Examples

1. Starting at 80/100 HP with 15 Recoverable HP, Bandaging for 10 will heal you to 90/100 HP, and your recoverable HP will be set to

min(15 + -1*10, (100-90)) = 5

2. Starting at 80/100 with 15 Recoverable, then being true healed to 100/100, you will retain the same 15 recoverable HP. Later, you are damaged for 40 by a monster, down to 60/100 health with a recoverable HP pool of

min(15 + .65*40, (100-60)) = 40

3. Starting at 80/100 with 15 Recoverable, then being true healed to 100/100 with 15 recoverable, and finally being damaged for 70 by a monster. Your new HP is 30/100, with new recoverable HP pool of

min(15 + .65*70, (100-30)) = 60.5

4. Starting at 100/100 with 50 Recoverable, then bandaging for 10 will set your recoverable HP to

min(50 + -1*10, (100-100)) = 0

Percent Max Health Healing

Following other trends, this can be considered a Base Heal, as it creates a new Heal instance. This does not mean the Heal is based on your Base health.

Percent Max Health Healing will heal a percentage of your current maximum health, and never scales with Physical/Magical Healing Add nor Magical Power Bonus, but does with Physical/Magical Healing Mod. The current sources of this are Barbarian's Morale Boost & Blood Exchange, Fighter's Victory Strike & Second Wind. Second Wind, however, is also in the form of a heal over time, therefore you can receive more healing with longer buff durations.

Being neither Physical nor Magical, it cannot scale from Physical/Magical specific sources. However, is affected by Healing Mod, even when negative, like Heal Reduction.

The Heal amount can also be negative, representing Percent Damage, such as Lich's Curse of Gathering/Isolation, Warlock's Blood Pact's passive aura Abyssal Flame, or even Barbarian's War Sacrifice. Similarly, these are not scaled by Physical/Magical modifiers nor affected by Cleric's Perseverance perk.
When this is negative, negative Healing Mod does not affect it. When this is negative, it is unknown if positive Healing Mod will affect it.

Examples

Using Second Wind's 40% Percent Max Health Damage/Healing Over a Time of 12s with 10% Buff Duration on a Fighter with 100 Max Health:

Total Duration = 12 * (1 + .1) = 13.2 seconds

Total Heal = .4*100 / 12 * floor(13.2) = 43.33 health

Other Healing

Life Steal

Warlock's Life Drain ability heals the player equal to the damage dealt in a lifesteal fashion. No modifiers affect this except Healing Mod as it is based on outgoing damage dealt (meaning before reductions like Magical Damage Reduction).

Heal Reduction

Heal Reduction is in the form of negative Healing Mod, see Healing Mod for specifics.

Examples of negative Healing Mod include, but are not limited to:

Unknown on how negative Healing mod interacts with negative Heals.


(Needs more testing). Interestingly, these cannot be applied at the same time. If both debuffs are applied, the Heal Reduction value will not be overwritten, but the duration will be overwritten, even if the duration of the second status is shorter.

Goblin Mage's homing orbs and Famine, the Unique axe, seem to work separately to Healing Mod as they reduce all types of Healing, including Recoverable healing, by 100%.

Heal reduction seems to currently be bugged and is not reducing by the amount listed, sometimes more, sometimes less - more testing in progress

Outgoing vs Incoming

All healing sources are applied from an outgoing source, and when the target receives them, they are the incoming target. For example, if a Cleric heals a Warlock, the Cleric is the outgoing source, and the Warlock is the incoming target.
If a Warlock heals themselves, they are both the outgoing source and the incoming target. The base heal and all modifiers may be applied to either Outgoing or Incoming. For example, Cleric's Advanced Healer and +Magical Healing enchantment buff specifically outgoing healing. If that Cleric heals another player or themselves it will be buffed by both, since the Cleric is the outgoing source. If the incoming target has the +Magical Healing enchantment, however, they will not receive bonus healing.

Note that since all heals will be either Outgoing or Incoming, all bonuses/reductions will affect a player that is healing themselves as they are both the Outgoing and Incoming target. However, this is before Scaling is taken into account, some heals have 0% Scaling in which case it does not matter regardless.

History

  • Patch #2 Hotfix 27
    • Surgical Kit is now True Physical Healing instead of Percent Max Healing, and is therefore affected by Heal Reduction
  • Patch #2
    • Healing potions and Troll's blood are Magical now instead of Physical
    • Blow of Corruption and Fire mastery now affect incoming healing instead of outgoing, and also affect Percentage healing.
