MND vs Healing potency?

[Technolust]

Felicia,

We have been over this, MND > Healing Magic Potency. We have done extensive tests in the linkshell to determine these result. Not to mention MND also grants bonuses to other stats.

Why would you consider MND > +Healing as a healer?

Looking at Deli's spreadsheet, it seems like +Healing Potency is worth double in bonus healing for Cura when compared to the bonus you get from +MND. The only reason I can see it as being a better choice is if you're low on gil, but even still you'd need a triple-melded Tier IV MND head and weapon to match a double-melded Tier III +Healing head and weapon. So either you get really lucky with triple-melds (and Tier IV triple-melds at that), or you end up spending a lot of gil trying to get em.

In terms of the other stats you gain (aka. M.accuracy), if I need to be nuking as conj, I'd much prefer hitting my macro to throw on a nuking set equipped with straight +M.acc rather than nuking in healing gear (not to mention that would give me much more M.acc than the M.acc I gain through ~80ish mind).

That pretty much covers my bases of understanding, so unless gil is the issue, I cannot see why MND would be > +Healing for a healer.

The issue with Deli's spreadsheet data is it doesn't test MND vs Healing Potency, it tests MND vs MND & Healing Potency. I'll run some tests to show you my point, as I've already done the test but can't find that spreadsheet.

In his tests, the difference between a 0 MND cura vs. an 8 MND cura is (on average) 1034 vs. 1038. That alone is a good indicator that when matching up the 1068 average of +27 MND vs. the 1065 average of +8 MND/+12 Healing, the +8 MND in that +Healing set is doing very little to contribute to that higher number.

I'm still interested in seeing your tests though, more data won't hurt.

I'll post it give me a few days.
