Healing, Aggro, and Max Health

[Jubez187]

If I have 750/1000 HP and I get hit with a heal that would have healed me 500 (had I the HP pool) how much aggro would the healer get? 250 points worth or 500?

500

Healer would get 375 aggro.

Depends on which cure, as some have a 0.5:1 Enmity Ratio and some have 1:1. The most important thing to know is that over healing does generate enmity.

[symba]

I'm fairly sure healing is .5 and overhealing is 1.

Point is, this is called "overhealing", when you're healed for more hp than you have and the healer gains the enmity just the same as if you'd actually needed the full cure.

This is why regens on pulls can cause havoc--because the healer gains the full value of the regen and you have no hate on anything but one target until you flash.

This contributes to why white mages generate so much hate on fights like titan. Every tic of every regen and medica2 is giving them the same amount of hate, whether the target gained hp from it or not.

Another related question. WHM heals paladin for 1k. Heals warrior for 1150. Same heal, just hits the warrior harder because of wrath stacks. Does the healer get the same hate from both heals, or more on warrior?

Should be the same amount of hate. The extra healing is generated by the Warrior's buff, not the WHM's heal. Still, I don't know for sure.

WHM gets the amount cured. Regardless of what/who's buff affects it. SCH pets have a 30% increased healing as does PLD, so if they are both up our whm has crit healed me for over 5k with a Cure II. It happens and it sucks for the tank when it does.

@OP - Heres the modifiers for healing.

Cure I - .5 enmity per point healed
Cure II - .8 enmity per point healed
Cure III - .8 enmity per point

Medica - .5 per point
Medica II - .8 per point of the initial heal / 1.0 per point of regen effect

Regen - 1.0 per point healed

Any overhealing done is a flat 1.0 per point.

So if you get a cure I for 500 and needed all of it then it's 250 enmity. If it was over heal, then it's 500

Good answers, thanks guys! I don't even play a healer role I was just wondering (I do tank so it's kinda relevant I guess). Good to know that "overhealing" can be the difference between "okay" and "great" healers.
