Defile Flesh+Lingering curse=stack? - Guild Wars Forums

MCS · Jul 10, 2005, 08:53 PM // 20:53

Okay so I've got a few questions.

For those of you that don't know lingering curse makes the target recieve only half from healing (and it strips enchantments) and defile flesh makes them revieve 2/3rds from healing.

1. So my first question is do they stack?

2. My second is, if they do, how do they stack?

Do they stack like 1/2+2/3=5/6 for receiving only 1/6 from healing

OR and probably more likely

1/2 of 2/3=1/3 received from healing.

3. Then after all of that does divine favor get effected by any of this?

Thanks.

It might depend on which one you put on first, or they just might not stack.

Divine Favor probably doesn't get affected as it isn't a spell

(Keep in mind that I am just guessing)

Max healing debuff stack is 66% as far as I remember. Defile Flesh is incredibly good because it will hit every single piece of healing.

***Note*** It's been a while since I've tested the validity of these numbers, proceed with caution

Check it like this:

A DF/HP monk with a 12 in both attributes cast Orison of Healing while under Divine Boon.

So the target will be healed for 60 Hp(Ooh)+61HP(DB)+36(DF bonus) for a total of 157 HP.

Now lets put them under Defile Flesh. What DF, LC and Deep Wounds do is attack each piece of healing seperately.

So it'll be 1/3(60)+1/3(61)+1/3(36)=20+20+12 lost HP from the previous figure, which is 52HP. Which meas that a 157 point heal gets turned into a 105 point heal.

with LC it's of course even bigger:
1/2(60)+1/2(61)+1/2(36)=30+30+18 lost hp which is now 78 HP off. Which sends it down to 79 HP, just barely healing over the original Orison of Healing.

Lastly at a max loss:

2/3(60)+2/3(61)+2/3(36)=40+40+24 is a whopping 104 HP loss. Which means that 157 point heal gets slammed down 53HP, and returns less than the original OoH.

:O You remind me of Ensign.

Thanks for the info.

So yes they stack and they stack with 1/2 of 2/3. ty.
