Is Rod of Asclepius Really useful? :: Sodsboy's Blog

+Rep | Report

So I know this isn't much but I've always been thinking to myself about this. Is really useful in any sense?

Now I know what you might be thinking: "But Sods, why must you question this?" Reason being is that I haven't seen a single guy on any games I've played use this even though it is a good item for gods like , and even in a few cases. Now it may not seem like much but that 15% of increased healing is easily countered by items such as, and so it doesn't really grant much.

What I would like to see is for the percentage maybe to be increased to 20% maybe? It might seem like much but the item really needs something to make it even worth having on some gods.

It's all good in the hood bullfrog. I'm just going to assume is the same.

A few months ago, I did the test with 's Ring, that's why I used this example.

I never dit the test with ultimate, but I thought it would be the same.

Also Zilby, I'm sorry, it's just that I didn't understand what you wrote correctly apparently.

Quoted:

I think it's important to note that the way they calculate healing it reduces the effect of those items by 15, eg: Pestilence becomes a 10% healing reduction.

Since you never mention the 15 reduction is caused by itself, I thought you meant that those anti healing items kinda have a diminishing return in terms of efficiency that I didn't know.

Now that I reread it, I understand that we are telling the exact same thing.

After testing you can heal in an odin ring, it just does 100% healing reduction.

Not sure about that Prism, but also not sure where to check. We could test it with a with and in a custom joust match if you want. I know that when was 100% healing reduction you could still heal a bit if you had those items.

Also negatives all sorts of healing, so it negates Base Healing + Additional Healing.

I think does the same...

Not sure where you're confused there bullfrog because you explained it correctly. I was just trying to use and as an example.

For reference, the formula for healing is
100%(base healing) + (additional healing)% - (healing reduction)% = (actual healing)%

So with and you'd have

100% + 15% - 25% = 90% essentially reducing 's effect from 25% to 10%

Can you explain a bit further plz ?

I don't remember where, but I have read that the % are added to the base healing.
Which means -100% does't mean you cannot heal, but instead that your base healing is reduced by 100%.

So, if you are are you are trapped in 's , if you have , you could still heal you for 15% of your normal healing. That's not big, but it's better than 0, and it could save your life.

I think you should view it the other way :
is a counter to , and , allowing you to heal decently in the case they are using these items.

I think it's important to note that the way they calculate healing it reduces the effect of those items by 15, eg: becomes a 10% healing reduction. Healing is already really strong in the game so increasing this item's passive would just worsen that problem. Most healers can build , it's just not necessarily core to their main build (even aphro can go without, although I prefer her with it).

Everytime I play in a support-ive way ( Suport, Siege, Arena, Joust ) I have a MUST BUY ( not literally ) sign for . Since she doesn't get much from Lotus Crown, I still think is a item made for her, just like was made for
