Healing roundtime

Healing roundtime is the amount of hard roundtime (RT) incurred by the casting of one of the Empath Base's nine healing spells.

Formula

Total healing roundtime is the Base RT of the spell minus training in Empath Base circle and Mental Lore, Transformation. Heal (1101) incurs more RT when using the CURE verb. For wound and scar healing spells, RT depends on the type and severity of the injury.

Healing RT = Base RT - (Empath Base ranks above spell level / 4) - (Mental Lore, Transformation ranks / 3)

Base RT

Injury RT
Rank 1 wounds 10 sec.
Rank 2-3 wounds 20 sec.
Rank 1 scars 30 sec.
Rank 2-3 scars 40 sec.

Base RT is halved if Rapid Healing (1116) is active.

Modifiers

Every four ranks of Empath Base beyond the level of the spell reduces healing RT by 1 second. For example, healing a minor limb wound with the level 2 spell Limb Repair (1102) costs 10 RT at rank 2 of Empath Base, 9 RT at rank 6, 0 rt at rank 42. A rank 2-3 limb wound costs 20 RT, at rank 42 would be reduced to 10 RT. This benefit is capped at character level.

Every three ranks of Transformation lore subtracts one second from healing RT.

At level 100, an empath needs 57 ranks in Transformation Lore (or have Rapid Healing active) to remove all healing RT. This does not affect the normal 3 second cast roundtime.

Healing RT can additionally be modified by haste/slow effects.

Mental Lore: Transformation Optimization

Mental Lore Transformation (ML:TSFM) can have a significant impact in your ability to heal quickly. Optimizing your Healing RT reductions requires balancing the benefits from from your Mental Lore: Transformation ranks and Empath Spell Circles. The Round Time Reduction Chart below identifies the minimum required Mental Lore: Transformation ranks to maximize your RT Reduction. The following assumptions were taken into consideration:

  • Level 14 or higher
    • 1114 is required to heal all possible injuries
  • Empath Spell Circle trained to current level
    • Overtraining provides no additional benefit
  • Mental Lore Transformation Trained at 2x(Level + 1)
    • Inter-level training ranks are not taken into account
  • Based on maximum injuries with 40s healing RT
    • Reducing Roundtime by more than 40s provides no additional benefit
