  • General Changes · ContextAlso decreases those values when negative
  • General ChangesPositive and Negative sources of Health Restoration stack diminishingly with each other
  • General Changes · Context"Stacking diminishingly" is the same behavior as evasion and magic resistance. Given N sources of positive Health Restoration, the final value will be calculated as: 1 - (1 - n0) * (1 - n1) * ... For example, if you have a Sange (16%) and a Tier 4 Neutral Item with the Crude Enchantment (20%), your total Health Restoration would be 1 - (1 - .16) * (1 - .2) = 32.8%. In other words, multiple smaller sources are less effective than one single large source. Negative sources of Health Restoration are stacked the same way, and then the positive and negative values are added together for your final Health Restoration.
  • General ChangesHealth Restoration cannot go lower than -100% and cannot go higher than 100%
