Enhancers while increasing the overall performance of your heals, they also reduce Mind on a HUGE scale...I'm still running some tests here and there, but seems the Enhancers actually do serve a purpose.

Hmm I don't use enhancers myself...they are quite expensive on my server at least.

That they are..the resource and components are crazy wonky....However I don't think that BE's, or us healers really understand what they are for. When I say they reduce mind costs I'm serious...I can heal 4-5x longer using enhancers. Think of it as the old /tenddamage or /tendwound without using enhancers.

Ever since the changes to mind cost a few publishes back I haven't had a problem running out as long as I have the right food in me, but I'll mess around with some enhancers tonight. My main problem with them is that I have to drag the ugly looking capsules up into my toolbar and they seem out of place with the regular icons

Well Enhancers also boost the power of your heals...while lowering the mind cost. Food might help with mind cost, but, not the power.

Very interesting. I've tested enhancers for power, but since I'd never heard any hint that they might reduce the mind cost I hadn't considered testing that. Guess I have a project for tonight.
Thanks for the info, MyT_Chicken.

tested them... enhancer's do nothing for mind cost
it is offical
Thats not true...after doing some more testing rather then the "Feeling" I had when I made the OP I have found that you do infact use less mind over time using enhancers. It's really simple. We heal for roughly 1500ish...Enhancers, strictly depending on the quality, add approx 300ish-400ish. Which in turn means we are healing for more with less.
Maybe not less Mind % wise per heal, but using enhancers you will end up getting a "free heal" after about 4-6 enhancers. IMO that is less mind, and it makes up for a lot when you actually need it. While this may not justify the expense, in the long run Enhancers do use less mind then regular heals do.
Any ways though, you either use enhancers of not, it's really a matter of perspective. If you can afford them, and can find a BE willing to make bulk, I would suggest getting them. If your happy with what you have, thats fine to.

Gotta agree with Zimal on the 'duh'. Having to heal a bit less often isn't anywhere close to being able to heal '4-5x longer' or reducing 'Mind on a HUGE scale'. I use enhancers off and on (I'd use them more often except for the targeting issue) as they do make a difference. But I'm not getting HUGE mind savings by any stretch of the imagination.
I wish it would reduce the mind cost of the heals. That would be a huge selling point for me as a crafter of meds and a great bonus as a user of meds. I rarely run low on mind as it is, so its not something I feel I need, but it would be a nice treat.

Thats not really called for considering the number of PM's and Tells I get daily asking what enhancers do. If you don't have anything constructive to say about the post....then don't waste your time. I see posts asking about enhancers, mind costs, template advice, ect daily. Well enhancers are one possible way to squeeze out a little more bang for your buck.
True my original post was made without proper testing, but has still stirred up my PM Box none-the-less.
