    How is embrace calculated?

    I'm only level 61 so my numbers aren't endgame, but I'm curious as to the discrepancy I see with embrace. This could just be a potency question, but what factors are involved here?

    Given Embrace is 250 potency, it is currently healing me for 2450-2600 HP per cast. Alternatively Physick is a flat 400 potency and heals for 5700-5900. By result, embrace is healing at an equivalent of about 180 potency give or take, so this is about a 30% decrease in effectiveness. Does the fairy just have its own unique stat table? I am currently at 1615 MND (ilvl 270).

    Maim and Mend increases healing done by 30% and it is specifically worded now that it effects both player and fairy, but is it actually not doing so? What am I missing here?

    Near the beginning of HW, Live Letter XXIII Question #15 spoke to this. The response is below.

    A15. This is because the growth curve from level 1 to 50 and 51 to 60 has changed and has been loosened. Since playing at the level 60 cap will continue for some time, we took the increase of item level into consideration when balancing their healing output.
    Fairy is approximately 2/3s as powerful as master, though I know I haven't done many recalculations since my initial testing in July of 2015 and I'm not sure if anyone else has either.
