Does spell penetration increases healing?

Ra'Shtar

As the title says i heal around 2 k more using my nirn staff than my precise staff (27 k crit on my BoL with precise and 29k with my nirn)

You just answered your own question

But is it a bug? or is it intended?

If the staves have the same stats and its used under the same conditions it appears spell pen. does increase your healing.

Ha I knew it just didn't do testing
I guess my maelstrom sharpened staff is useful after all

They are bot vr16 gold staves

If this is really a fact, it sounds utterly wrong for me mechanicwise, but ok....wouldn't be the first miracle in ESO's combat mechanisms.

You sure, that you just used staffs ? No accidental switch to a dualwield set up with two swords (which buffs spelldamage and therefore healing too) ?

I just checked the effect of my nirn axe compared to a defensive axe on the heal of Sap Essence (Double S&B NB tank).

In that case there is zero difference in Heal. Both for normal Heal as for a crit Heal.


EDIT added: I used CLS for the figures

Ra'Shtar

i use 2 resto staves one nirn and one precise i heal more with my nirn than with my precise, how would you explain that?

I crafted two identical epic Restorationstaffs, one with Nirn and the other with Critical. The Tooltip from BoL doesnt changed, if i used the Nirn Restorationstaff instead of the Critical Restorationstaff.

I dont use any Addons, so i can check this only over the Tooltip.

Ra'Shtar

This is driving me insane!!!!

Ra'Shtar

Found the reason, Piercing Spear is applying the 10% increased bonus critical damage from having an aedric spear ability slotted to healing as well

And would having more armour increase weapon/spell penetration.
Especially when used with dual+wield and blunt with defending weapons.


Penetration has always been a strange thing.. especially with certain armour, passive, CS and traits combined.
