Set bonus question

[Tankshock]

Anyone know if a Healing set bonus applies to Absorb powers?  Thanks.

[Tankshock]

No one knows, or no one cares?  ;)

Tank, I care, although I don't know the answer...I wish I could help you. Maybe check the ParagonWiki?

Can't imagine they wouldn't. Would be a pretty major oversight if they went through all the heal sets changing it to heal/absorb without also changing set bonuses. Someone would have spotted it on live test, since tons were trying out bio armor there, or at some point in the years the private server ran.

Thanks for caring, man.  ;)

 

Trying to IO a 50 /Rad Sentinel, and the 6% from Numina's is only worth it if it buffs Absorb.  I'll just respec and test it.

According to Pine's it does not. Now obviously that's not definitive so I would recommend testing it in game but my guess is that Pine's is correct.

 

From what I recall when Absorb was first introduced as a mechanic the devs made it so that Absorb and Heal were two different properties when it came to enhancements. They then changed all Healing enhancements to Healing/Absorb but internally it's two different properties. I don't think that the set bonuses were changed however.

I think you're right. Might be a few days, but I'll post once tested.
