Spiritual Radial Boost affect Regen?

Spiritual Radial Boost grants 33% Recharge and 33% Healing. Will that 33% Healing improve powers like Health, Dull Pain, etc? or does it only increase active healing powers like Empath-style heals?

The effect of the power of the Alpha Slot, I believe as described by the developers, is that it should be the equivalent of adding a Single Original or Crafted IO origin enhancement to your power.

So if you power takes a standard Healing Single Origin Enhancement, then the Spiritual Radial Boost should act like a standard Single Origin enhancement in that power and give you the exact same effect that a standard Single Origin Enhancement would give you.

Well, except a Single Origin enhancement doesn't ignore E.D.

Alpha Slots... do. To an extent.

It will act exactly like adding an additional Heal SO to all your powers will, with a portion (but not all) of the bonus ignoring Enhancement Diversification.

So if you have 0 slots in health, you'll gain 33% enhancement to health with a spiritual radial boost. If you have 3 slots in health, you'll gain about 15% enhancement value (11% - one third - from ignoring ED, and then about 4-5% of 'over ED limit' benefit from the remaining 22% of non-exempt enhancer).

yes it does. i tested this out today. my aid self was doing 423 heal. and got bumped up to 453. my Health regen'd at +40%, and got bumped up to +53%.

Indeed it does affect +regeneration powers. Also, since it's treated like an enhancement in the power, it affects powers like Reconstruction just fine. (This power is not affected by heal set bonuses because it also grants resistance.)

My main is broadsword/regen. 33% to recharge and 33% to heal? OMG OMG OMG!

My BS/Regen went from 47hp/sec base up to 52/sec. And my top went from 150-something/sec to 170-something/sec (top means both IH and Dull Pain running).

So I can confirm in game that it does help regen values.

On my Electric Armor brute, the heal/rech bonus helped my heal (it's up to 800 points!), regen bonus from it, the regen from health and the regen from physical perfection.


Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.

Just so you are aware, this is actually a bad example because Dull Pain is not a +regen power. If you add Heal to Dull Pain, your total hp goes up, and your regeneration (hp/sec) only goes up because your regeneration percentage is still the same. Higher hp will mean more hp/sec anyway, regardless if the actual regeneration percentage went up.

That said, this specific example wouldn't necessarily prove that Spiritual Radial Boost actually affects Regen rate unless Dull Pain was left out of the equation, or if the actual percentage rate was used instead of hp/sec.

Yep spines/regen main here. I planned for this gave me 4 slots to drop in other powers.

My /Invuln Brute now has 2958 HP and regens 32.65 HP/sec.

Health and Physical Perfection report an increase in regen rate with my Spiritual Radial. DP's heal and health boost have both gone up as well.

That's why I included my "base" numbers. Those went up. Meaning no toggles or powers running, my HP/sec increased with the spiritual radial slotted. No dull pain, no +HP in the equation.

Edit, Does Fast healing or any other regen auto power give +hp? Hmm.

I could hit IH by itself and give numbers with and without radial slotted. That should cover it right?

Your example using just the base numbers was fine. That's why I didn't include it when I quoted you.
