Asphodel's Purifier Crystal: 4-piece bonus concern.

[Dariya]

Please make Asphodel's Purifier Crystal 4-piece bonus (The Cleric's single target fire-based heals reduce the damage the ally takes by 5% for 5 seconds.) stack with Protect the Flock.

Although I do understand that such a change, if it were to happen, can be considered just slightly OP, making the total damage reduced by 15% (MoT + PtF + crystal), then my concern is:

- It is a 4-piece bonus of HK token gear. Isn't it supposed to be good by definition?
- My assumption is that most raid groups run some kind of a Senticar spec; whatever the spec is, point being is we have a 99% uptime of PtF (on most fights).
- Not stackable with PtF makes it worthless.

Cleric's crystal bonuses have already been changed once, change it again if you are not going to make it stack with PtF.

Thank you.

I don't MT raid heal often, honestly I though this crystal did stack with PtF at some point.

Did they change it recently or did it never really stack?

That sucks, the 4piece for most trees are very impacting.

I bought the crystal, not knowing what to expect and granted, it is not a game changing piece of equipment. It doesn't stack with Ptf but, in a sense it is better than Ptf because if you are healing one tank, its 100 pct uptime on the proc, unlike Ptf which is quite simply not.

Still, none of the cleric healing crystals really boost that much, so I really just consider it bonus for wearing the *extremely* nice HK relic gear, of which im soon to be 5 piece.

Never stacked. Buffs overwrite each other.

I agree. I haven't ran any math, but I thought that a 10% boost from the crystal to HI would be bigger than that, only +370?

51 Sentinel (no buffs):
HI w/o crystal: ~3780
HI w/ crystal: ~4150
