It's funny that this comes up.

I forgot if I mentioned this before on the list, if I did
I apologize for repeating. I have refined numbers/stats
since then, if I did post.

Cleric of Innoruuk in the PoH has approximately 15000 hps,
as do most common mobs in there do (14k-17k). So give or
take a few thousand.

It takes about a minute I'd say to drop one on average.
Once I saw one drop in 30 secs, but Tashani + Malosi + ICs
were the reason I believe. I'll use a nice round 60 secs
for this discussion. At any given second during the 60 secs,
the Cleric would be taking an average 250 dmg.

At 250dmg/sec and a casting time of 10 seconds for complete
healing, thats 2500dmg that the NPC would have to cast through.

The most I've heard a player cast through was recently in the PoF
and it was 600 dmg, and that was a druid gating (a 5 second casting
spell). His channeling was maxxed at 200.

If 600 dmg is to 200 channelling, then 2500 dmg is to 833 chanelling.

Needless to say through all the slamming, bashing, pixie's we stuck
to him, he regained and completely healed. Damn those NPCs with
800+ channelling.

Harmonic.
