Plate helm of ether fubared

[Hakthaf]

<p>I was wondering if maybe I missed a patch note where they changed plate helm of the ethers proc target. In initial proc description says on target of spell cast, and then right below it, it says on caster. Currently the proc is going on myself when casted on others. </p><p>Curious if this is now the way the item will work, or if something got messed up with item. If it is supposed to proc on caster only then please change the whole spell description to that, if the item is supposed to proc on target as it has for a long time previously please change description to only that as well and fix the proc please</p>

Mmm, it was doing that for me around January... but SoE officially fixed it, even mentioned in <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=354519" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">GU notes</a>.  Ever since then, I have been able to get it proc on other players quite frequently.  It was actually fixed one patch or GU before it was mentioned in GU33, but if they want to mention it late, that's fine. Here are some of the old threads discussing it months ago: <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?start=0&topic_id=178208�" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...08�</a> <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=347088" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=347088</a> (With Dev response) You don't happen to play on a non-US server do you?  Like one that may be several patches behind. --EDIT-- Just because I hate people who say everything is working fine without any evidence, here's some of my logs from last night... <span style="font-size: xx-small"> (1179120506)[Mon May 14 01:28:26 2007] You pray devoutly for Dire Intercession.

<p>I play on AB, wasnt until latest patch that this happened to the item where the proc notes contradict itself and it only procs on me. Just havent said anything due to this usually getting fixed pretty fast. I actually have seen it have multiple procs on myself at one time. Unfortunately i am unable to post pictures, im sure others with item must see the broken proc notes.</p>

I believe the buff display in the maintained window was a neccassary workaround to what broke the helm about the beginning of April. When they took away the item +damage effects from rogues poisons the change also wonked the PHoTE. So they made it cast a buff onto us and then the spell effect the target. This would ensure our spell abilities where maintained on the healing buff. Annoying and I think still not working correctly as I have never seen more then 3 on me at a time, and all 3 list me as the target. I have however seen the effect healing people and it is showing in my parses. So if it is a bit duct taped... so be it.

Hmm, I don't think I have ever examined what the maintained icons report.  As long as the healing messages said they were going to the right place, I was more than happy... since that's all that matters.  If you say you have multiple procs on yourself at one time, I think that may actually be several outgoing procs.  At least I would assume it would get overwritten, not stack.  I know that they refresh when it procs on other people from myself... not stacking two icons on the same target.  Might have to take a closer look at the healing messages instead of the icons to know for sure.

<p>I'm On AB too, and came to the forums just to see if this problem was being discussed. I haven't looked in my logs to see where mending touch is landing....but I too have had multiple instances of the proc on me at a given time.  Sometimes, when grouped in Unrest or such, I have seen it on myself 5 at one time.</p><p>***edit*** a quick check of my logs show it is indeed working fine.  The icons are just messed up.</p><p>Paddyo </p><p>70 templar Antonia Bayle</p><p>Shadow Guard </p>

This helm counts for 3-5% of my zonewide heals, usually 1-2% lower than my Mystical Orb of Healing earring.  I don't think it's a spectacular helm aside from the proc.  Free heals are good.   At  what point  did you stop wearing it? Firebrand?  Nem Anhk?  Or do you still use it for the proc?

[Paddyo]

<p>I'm still wearing it.  I got The nem ankh a few weeks ago, and I really like it stat wise, but hell free heals proc'ing all the time are very nice.  Gonna have to get fabled set I think before I will take it off.</p><p> Although, after TODAY'S patch they added "only effects targets 50 and above."  No biggie, thats kind of to be expected, but it makes me wonder why the change was necessary....</p>

[Jackula]

Because the proc heal would be overpowered on targets lower than lvl 50 if you mentored I'm assuming.

<p>When I first bought it I was concerned with the verbage as well. Then when I used it and inspected the maintained spell icons for mending touch I wasn't sure what it was doing because it said "self" was the target.  What did convince me that it was working well was when I used dire intercession on my group (not fighting) that was at 80% health. It proc'd on everyone in group and began healing them up. The icons in Maintained still said I was the target but it was obviously healing my group. Yes, it will take a fabled set helm for me to take this baby off. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p> Allysin</p>

<p>the ''fix'' seems to be where that icon goes. used to be the target when you cast the spell (no matter who was healed) then it dissappeared for a while, then the heal was self only and the icon was on the person, then the icon was on self and the heal was on the peeps...</p><p> Seems SOE made multi icons appear in you maintained bar to make it clearer how often it procs</p>
