Whats the use of +aug, +mend and +cave

[Mundokar]

Read a thread that its no use to get +aug as it has no effect whatsoever. Can anyone confirm ? And what about +mend and +cave ?

 

[Denisée]

+ Mend got an effect on baseline Healing. Other than that I can't say. But the + aug I believe is just a waste(won't help ur buffs or anything like Arcane does)

+ mend gives smaller variance in your heals, but only slightly....barly notisable

+ aug (apparently according to sham TL) increases the value of buffs by a very small amount (kinda like MoA)

+cave/+pac do nothing.

OMG where do you people get your info from lol??

+ Mend reduces the variance in your heals. This includes both base and spec heals.

+Aug really does very little, but does again reduce any variance in your buffs. This has a hard cap of 50.

+Cave reduces damage variance, and is especially noticeable when casting DoTs.

The only one that does nothing is +Pac. This is because the resist chance is decided by spell level and caster level, not spec level.

+ mend - reduce healing variances for NONSPEC heals
+ pac - nothing
+ aug - better buffs

as wizard said:

mend - affects ONLY base heals
aug - affects base buffs only,34 aug with items and RR is enough to hit 50 cap on highest base buffs, with 10 aug your red buffs would buff for slightly more then 40 instead of 50
cave - just like any skill, maxx it if you want dmg
pac - does NOTHING

it is tested and approved
