4.3 AST changes/speculations

Diurnal Aspected Helios is actually weaker than Medica II.

Medica II = 200 initial + (50 x 10) ticks = 200 initial + 500 ticks = 700 total potency
Diurnal Aspected Helios = 200*1.05 initial + (40 x 10)*1.05 ticks = 210 initial + 420 ticks = 630 total potency

I do agree that Aspected Helios doesn't really need a buff.

Hey Ghishlain,

Its 10% more healing from Diurnal (and not only 5%.)

Aspected Helios (Diu.) = 200*1.10 initial + (40 x 10)*1.10 ticks = 220 initial + 440 ticks = 660 total potency

You are correct. I was probably thinking of the 5% reduced cast speed that Diurnal used to have and slotted that in as healing potency randomly. It's still weaker than Medica II though even with that addition.

[edit]

@Ghislain: Yeah you're right, Medica II is stronger on paper. In-game it doesn't feel any weaker at all though aside from it's distance. It's really odd that it's getting a buff, but I guess we'll see how it goes.

I imagine it's because the initial application is technically strong and it's hard to tell the difference between 44 potency and 50 potency. If I recall correctly, the final value of a spell can RNG between +/- 10% which means the tick can have a potency of 40-48 on Diurnal A.Helios while Medica II tick can be 45-55. There's overlap in the 45-48 potency range which may skew an individual's observations.

@AST adjustments - I saw this on Reddit. Take with a grain of salt as it's a singular post until a more official translation hits the table.

It does mimic what Ceasaria is saying.

But I belive more that this change is more posible:

Nocturnal Sect Effect: Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equaling 150% 175% - 200% of the amount of HP restored

Now a bit Math:

Asp. Helios (Noc) = 150 HP * 1,15 (Heal) + 172,5 HP * 1,75% (Shield) = ~ 475 HP (at all)

Asp. Helios (Noc) = 150 HP * 1,15 (Heal) + 172,5 HP * 2,00% (Shield) = ~ 518 HP (at all)

Look for succor vs Asp. Helios (befor Patch 4.3):

Succor = 150 * 1 (Heal) + 150 * 1,5 (shield) = 375 HP (at all)

Asp. Helios (Noc) = 150 HP * 1,15 (Heal) + 172,5 HP * 1,5% (Shield) = ~ 409 HP (at all)

This finally has a strong contrast of Aspected Helios to Succor. This contrast was lost due to the change of Succor. But if I like this change, that's something in the stars.
