Cleric explot - Get multiple healing procs from Planar Essences

[=Z=]

This exploit may not be around for long as it makes Clerics and any class capable of proccing heals pretty much invincible and able to solo most mobs in the game including elites.

First things first, get to a Rare Planar Goods (not a regular planar goods npc) vendor and pick up a Planar Essence that procs on heals.

There should be one of these in each zone.

The cost should bet a purple zone sourceshard and a lot of planarite. For example, the Stonefield one is called Gleaming Stone Seed.

Once equipped in a greater planar slot, it causes your heals to have a chance to proc a 300 hp heal over 8 seconds.

The trick here is it is supposed to heal 300 health total over 8 seconds.

Now you're thinking "why does this matter? You are dumb"

It is here where I say "NO U" because the Justicar tree has an ability called Salvation that heals you for damage done. It counts as a casted heal and it procs this ability from the greater planar essence. So while smashing faces around, you're getting sweet 2400 heals.

Wait, did I say 2400? Yes. The item is bugged so that instead of providing 300 healing over 8 seconds, it gives 300 healing every second for 8! 2400 hp heals total!

So what's the best way to take advantage of this? Try this build on for size:

Soul Tree Calculator: Shaman (31) / Justicar (11) / Druid (0) :: Rift: Planes of Telara :: ZAM

The shaman tree naturally does a lot of damage (which is good because Salvation healing is based on damage done) and also has a talent that increases healing received! Justicar gives you some 5% extra damage, a ranged attack, as well as the important Salvation healing and boosts for it. The third tree is kind of useless but the Fearie healing gets the buff as well, so yeah.

Grab the Freemarch trinket that procs heals for an added boost/hilarity.

Does that actually work on Salvation? I gotta test that!

I was wondering why i was immortal during beta!
So, are all the HoT essences bugged, or just this one?

[EDIT] Ok, just got the cauterizing shard and i can confirm that it's bugged. However it only heals 5 ticks, wich is 1500.
Also confirming that Salvation procs the shard. With Salvation alone though, it doesn't seem to have 100% uptime.
Haven't tried with reparation yet, will be running some Warfronts to test it.
+rep!

tried it out @ lvl 20. went cab for AoE to increase proc chance. didnt even go off once. maybe there is a lvl cap?

[=Z=]

Thanks for the rep guys, much appreciated.

I'm not sure about the cap, maybe we can get that verified.

I meant minimum. what exactly did you do in order for it to work? I was getting a ton of healing from the AoE alone, but i never recieved ANY healing from the greater planar item. Really want this to work T_T

They have disabled the effect on Live servers so now dead.

[jj7777]

Neveroutgunned is right. Was just reading a post on it on official forums. thanks for the contribution though! seems these things are being watched... careful what you post.

[AtomX]

yep, they are on top of any exploits, bugs, and player reports, so be careful.

[DrakeFish]

They just re-enabled the effects and fixed the bug.

* Several Greater Essences had their effect disabled due to a bug. These no longer heal for the entire amount per tick, and their effects have been re-enabled once more: Glowing Planar Seed, Gleaming Life Crystal, Crystal Vine, Cauterizing Crystal, Gleaming Stone Seed, Spring Rain Crystal, Cauterizing Shard, Glowing Water Droplet, and Sparkling Extraplanar Gem.
