Healing amp on those items doesn't stack anymore. The 60 from your iron mitts is the largest value, and only one applied.

Atleast upgrade to a Dragon Scale Armor.


I'm wrong. My DT is indeed stacking with my gloves.

My +60 gloves are stacking with my +40 bracers on my character sheet. One is competence bonus, one is equipment bonus. Munk and Nubbins are talking out of their asses.

It is entirely possible that shroud is coded/typed differently.

When I updated the Heal Amp article for U24, I tested what I had, but I kinda lumped greensteel into the respective bonus types because I assumed the update was done consistently...

If anyone sane can test greensteel heal amp, I'd be grateful.
combat log, character sheet value, heal scrolls... you know the drill

Get yourself a fear immunity augment. They're easy enough to come by.

Hold up, we're talking about Shroud of Ardent, not greensteel.
