Yoshi-P says WHM was not nerfed, situation similar to "warrior is strong" fiasco

'Also some are misunderstanding on this one, for Medicara (2 on English?) the heal amount hasn’t changed. The additional effect added onto the character was reduced to half and duration was extended to 30 seconds.'
'The HoT that’s put onto the players after was adjusted from 100 to 50 and increased from 15 seconds to 30 seconds.


maybe I am seeing things wrong but is this not half by half?

so 100 to 50 = -50%
and 15 - 30 = -50%
so over the same time as before would it not be down 75% from before?
like 1000 points healed in 15 secs now 500 in 30 seconds so that would be 250 points in 15 secs when it was 1000
am I wrong?

I see what you're saying. You're simply misunderstanding how the potency is played out. It's a potency of 50 per tick, not over the length of the spell.

100 potency to 50 potency = -50%
15sec to 30 sec = +50%
over the same time its the same 100%
like 1000hp healed in 15sec but now its 1000hp healed in 30sec so that would be 500hp healed in 15sec when it was 1000
omg I think I be confused soon

yea see why I am lost I thought less potency means lower healing so if it was 100 now its 50 that would be a drop in healing regardless of the time right? this is making my head hurt anyone good at excel here

For simplicity's sake, let's pretend that 1 potency = 1 hp (You have like, 0 MND or something IDK)
Let's also pretend that Heals over Time tick once per second (because I'm a shitty WHM and have never paid attention to how often they happen)

2.0: 100 Potency, 15 second duration
100 HP per tick, 15 ticks
1,500 HP

2.1: 50 Potency, 30 second duration
50 HP per tick, 30 ticks
1,500 HP
