Musician Archive

Okay, I've been testing this a bit lately and it appears that the level of the song affects your heal rate, and perhaps the level of the instrument also. I am a twi'lek master musician, master entertainer.

For example, if I play virtuoso with a slitherhorn... I heal battle fatigue at somewhere around 16-20 per tick. If I play Star Wars 1 with that same instrument, I'm only healing like 4-9 per tick. If I break out the nalargon and play virtuoso, the best I did was something like 24 or so per tick. With Star Wars 1, I think 9 was my best.

Flourishes also seem to affect heal rate as well.

Not sure about Healing, but It seems to me, that as long as I use my "highest level" instrument, I always get the best experiance no matter what song I play. We played a lot of SW1, 2 and Rock last night. I would have hoped that Healing worked the same way, otherwise Musicians are not going to want to drop down in songs.

I'll be back on again tonight in Coronet if you want to do more testing.

I had always assumed that healing rate was affected solely by your fatigue/wound/entertainment healing skills. Song shouldn't have affected things at all. This basically means if I want to heal someone quickly as a master musician, I'm forced to play virtuoso with a nalargon... even though I prefer other songs/instrument combinations(favourite being ceremonial with a bandfill).

Someine in I think the dancer forum? did a test where they did some healing, then surrendered their entire lineof healing skills, and the rate didn't change one bit.

I think it's bugged. To me a separate healing skill says that effects healing soley. However it seems to be the opposite is true.
