Clarification on DET

[NefGP]

When it says HP from healing spells, does it specifically mean the caster's potency, HP received (i.e. the person being healed's DET raises it) or both?

Mouse over Healing Magic Potency.
Mouse over Determination.
What does Healing Magic Potency do? That's the answer.

[Bixby]

Only the caster's potency.

Cast a heal on a naked character. Then on a character in full i90. You'll heal for the same amount.

So stacking DET on a Tank won't increase how much you're healed for then? That's what I wanna know.

Correct.

DET, short for Determination, directly influences both Physical and Magical damage and has nothing to do with healing.

Correct. As far as a tank goes it will only increase the damage output you do. It can increase self healing EX: casting cure on yourself with more DET would heal you for more but the amount would be minuscule as you are not a healer.

It would not directly affect healing done by Blood Bath or Inner Beast for example as the healed amount is based off the damage dealt. Which means DET indirectly affects the self healing by increasing your damage output.

no, it also affects how much the healer's cure hits you for. it affects the output of the action, the healer's determination is what affects how much your healed for, not the target's.

The first part may be technically correct, but guess what the biggest factor is in a healer's heals?... Magic Damage.

Well the thing with that is that magic effectiveness is split into two stats: INT and MND, with PIE controlling Mana quantity. INT controls magic damage, MND controls healing. That's why, if you try to use a SMN as a healer or a SCH as a DPS, it won't be nearly as effective as vice-versa, because SMN has High INT/Low MND while SCH has High MND/Low INT. DET is paired with STR and INT, with MND not even factoring into the equation.
