Formula Used

This calculator uses a planning model: Base Heal = Potency ÷ 100 × (Weapon Magic Damage + Mind ÷ 10). The base value is multiplied by main stat, determination, tenacity, job trait, outgoing healing, incoming healing, and target received healing bonuses.

Expected Heal = Normal Heal × [1 + Critical Chance × (Critical Multiplier − 1)]. Shield Value = Expected Heal × Shield Conversion. Effective Heal = (Expected Heal + Shield Value) × (1 − Overheal).

This model is intended for comparison and planning. It is not an official game formula.

How to Use This Calculator

Enter the healing potency shown on the action tooltip.
Add Mind, weapon magic damage, determination, critical hit, and tenacity.
Enter trait value and healing bonuses as percentages.
Add shield conversion if the action creates a barrier.
Estimate overheal to focus on useful healing only.
Use casts or ticks for a full healing window.

FFXIV Healing Potency Planning Guide

Healing in a raid is more than pressing a strong action. Players compare potency, job traits, received healing buffs, critical chance, shields, and overheal. This calculator gives one clean estimate from those moving parts. It is built for planning pulls, reviewing logs, and testing gear ideas before a difficult duty.

Why Potency Needs Context

Potency is a relative value. A 400 potency heal can feel different across jobs, levels, weapons, and buff windows. Mind and magic damage raise the base amount. Determination adds a steady bonus. Tenacity can matter for tank jobs. Critical hit rating changes both expected value and possible burst healing. Party buffs and target healing bonuses also change the final number.

Useful Raid Questions

The tool helps answer practical questions. You can compare a normal cast with a critical cast. You can add a shield percentage for barrier skills. You can subtract overheal to see effective healing only. You can multiply by casts or regeneration ticks to review a complete healing window. You can also check how much target health is restored.

Reading the Result

The normal result shows the estimated non critical heal. The critical result shows a stronger single event. Expected healing blends normal and critical outcomes by chance. Shield value is added separately, because barriers prevent future damage. Effective healing removes wasted overheal. Total healing multiplies the selected window count. The percentage restored compares the final effective amount with target maximum health.

Best Use

Use the output as a planning estimate, not as an official combat formula. Game updates, level sync, hidden rounding, encounter rules, and action traits can change real results. Keep your inputs consistent when comparing two setups. Then the calculator becomes useful for relative decisions, such as buff timing, shield planning, and expected recovery after raid damage.

Exporting and Review

After each calculation, download the figures as a spreadsheet row or a simple document. The table can help writers, players, and theory crafters show sample outcomes. Save one result for each gear set. Compare them later. This makes small changes easier to see, especially when several buffs overlap during planned raid mechanics. Add comments beside each saved row for clearer weekly review and faster decisions later.

FAQs

What is healing potency?

Healing potency is a relative action value. Higher potency usually means a stronger heal, but stats, traits, buffs, critical hits, shields, and overheal also affect final usefulness.

Is this the official FFXIV healing formula?

No. This is a planning model. It helps compare inputs and healing windows. Real game results may vary because of hidden rounding, updates, sync rules, and encounter conditions.

Why does critical hit change expected healing?

Expected healing averages normal and critical outcomes. A higher critical chance raises the average result, while a higher critical multiplier increases the size of critical heals.

How should I enter shield healing?

Enter the shield conversion percentage. For example, a barrier worth 180 percent of healing should use 180. The calculator adds that value to expected healing.

What does overheal mean here?

Overheal is healing that does not restore missing health or prevent future damage. The calculator subtracts it to estimate useful healing for planning purposes.

Can I use this for regeneration ticks?

Yes. Enter the tick potency and set casts or ticks to the number of expected ticks. The total result will show the complete estimated window.

Why include target maximum HP?

Target HP helps show how much of the target health pool one effective heal may restore. This is useful when reviewing tank recovery plans.
