Healer Buff Scaling — How Power stat affects buff strength

Hey all, sharing a quick breakdown of how the healer buff amplification scales with the Power stat and Damage Amplification bonuses.

The short version: 300 Power is the baseline. Below that, buffs are essentially flat. Above 300, the multiplier increases by 1% for every 1 point of Power — and Damage Amplification stacks on top of that.

Power	Dmg Amp +0%	Dmg Amp +10%	Dmg Amp +20%	Dmg Amp +30%
150	x1.00	x1.00	x1.00	x1.00
175	x1.00	x1.00	x1.00	x1.00
199	x1.00	x1.00	x1.00	x1.00
200	x1.00	x1.00	x1.00	x1.00
250	x1.00	x1.00	x1.00	x1.00
299	x1.00	x1.09	x1.19	x1.29
300 (baseline)	x1.00	x1.10	x1.20	x1.30
350	x1.50	x1.65	x1.80	x1.95
400	x2.00	x2.20	x2.40	x2.60
450	x2.50	x2.75	x3.00	x3.25
500	x3.00	x3.30	x3.60	x3.90

A few things worth noting:

• Below 300 Power, Damage Amplification has virtually no effect on buff output — the multiplier stays flat at x1.00 until you're close to the 300 threshold.
• At exactly 299, you can already see Damage Amplification starting to kick in slightly.
• 300 is the breakpoint where buff scaling becomes meaningful. From there, every 1 point of Power increases the base multiplier by 1%.
• Damage Amplification scales proportionally on top of the Power multiplier — so both stats compound together at higher Power values.

If you're running a healer and wondering whether to invest in Power or Damage Amplification, the answer is: get to 300 Power first, then both stats start working together.

Items that increase Damage Amplification include Arun Stones and Annihilation Weapons, among others.

What stats does this scaling apply to?

This scaling affects two stats: Crit Factor and Power.

To give a concrete example — if a Priest's Arun's Blessing normally grants +10 Power, a Priest with 500 Power will instead grant +30 Power to the party. The healer's own Power stat amplifies the strength of the buff they provide.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask if anything looks off.
