Equip Load Healing Changes
Updatedequip load healing bonus to be multiplicative. Now all of the healingbonuses from equip load, positive or negative, will be added on afterall other calculations have been made, meaning the bonuses will have alarger and more consistent impact on healing.
Example:Base healing is 100, and a player has two passives that each increasehealing by 10%. Previously those two healing mods were additive. So thecalculation was 100*(1+0.1+0.1) which is equal to 120. With the equipload now being multiplicative, the bonus is calculated after all othermath is completed. So if we take the same calculation as above and makethe 2nd healing bonus multiplicative, It is calculated as100*(1.+0.1)=110*(1+0.1)=121.
RemovedMedium equip load healing bonus and increased the reduction to healingin Heavy equip load. Healing bonuses per equip load are now: Light +30%,Medium 0%, Heavy -30%.
