While in cave of the vicious, I constantly spam IH and the icon near the buffs keeps disappearing. Im wondering why this happens? How i can fix it? And if its still suppose to heal despite the icon being gone.

Thanks

    It will heal overtime. There was always a long running discussion on how many times it actually does stack though...I think the agreement was 5-6 if I remember right.

    It's a bug. Every time a stacked IH ends it removes the icon from the buff list, even if there are more IHs on the stack.

    Don't worry, just keep stacking them. they'll be there healing even if the icon is gone.

    @RedsRose, because of channeling and casting time, the max amount of IH that can be stacked are 5, unless you have -chan gear that let you cast faster. That's the only way to get more than 5 IH on the stack (and if the speed doesn't bug the IH animation :p)

    this guys knows what he is talking about...
    the maximum possible (from 1 cleric) is 7.5 times though thats with -100% channeling from zooming thunder power.

    you can technically stack IH infinite times if you have infinite clerics
    Killing level 80's with a lvl 60 is a lot more fun than killing level 90's with a level 100.

    @ Frijolero:

    Channeling has nothing to do with how many times the IH heal over time will stack, just means you cast it faster b:sweat

    Even if I wear channeling gear (-48% channeling), it would not make IH stack more then if I was wearing my "regular" gear.

    Zzzzzz...too lazy to find that one post where we all talked about it for a good while b:chuckle

    To OP though...just spamming IH is not a "do-all" heal in all situations. At least for me I like to throw in a Wellspring every now and then....IH --> WS --> IH...depending on the situation in that combo hp should never fall. (Note: depends on the situation, at higher levels just spamming IH will not 100% work...lol).

    Yeah, it does still continue healing for the full 15secs for each IH you cast, regardless of whether the icon is there...It's an annoying bug/glitch, whatever you want to call it, when the icon disappears prematurely...makes things a little bit harder if you're trying to rely on the icon for timing heals and such...

    But the more you get used to it, the easier you'll be able to just time it anyway, with or without the icon. =)

    Even if I wear channeling gear (-48% channeling), it would not make IH stack more then if I was wearing my "regular" gear.

    Under normal circumstances (with no -chan gear and no reduced channeling effects), you're able to cast 1 IH every 3 seconds (1s Chan + 1s Cast + 1s Cooldown). The IH healing effect last 15 seconds, meaning when you're casting the 6th IH, the first IH fades away and it's removed from the stack, setting the max stack amount on 5.

    -chan gear and -chan buffs will reduce the casting time, giving you the chance to be able to add a 6th IH to the stack before the 1st is removed when the time saved from -chan effects (gear & buffs) equals 3 seconds, and maybe a 7th if your -chan is high enough.

    Of course, this is for one cleric only. As furries said, there is no limit on how many IH can be stacked if two or more clerics are healing the same target.

    Actually, cooldown time begins at the start of casting time, not at the end. So you have 1 second of channeling, 1 second of casting, and a tiny fraction of a second before you can start channeling again.
