Was just wondering if its worth having the main charm as a heal mastery charm with the real heal charm in acc. or just forget about acc. charms and put the ee heal in main?

What have you guys tried and found works best?

I bet some people have tried this setup but I couldn't find any info about it :/

only thing is this guide:

INT vs Heal Mastery : http://forums.d2jsp.org/index.php?showtopic=29065818&f=272

or just give it a try and you'll see by yourself

it "should" work better since hm > int but you'll get only 3/4 of the power of your heal charm as acc.charm.

unanimous from my guild uses the hm charm in the main slot. It works just fine in catacombs. There is a certain point of HM on a charm that can still = the same healing power of the main healing charm in the main charm. I think rob said it was around 50 HM, but im not certainly sure. The good thing is that since in catacombs it costs 25% less to cast in your accessory you are getting more heals, but you might not heal for the same but if the HM is the same the you can get the best of both worlds. same heals that cost less

i havent actually worked out the math, but i know with enough hm gear it makes a huge difference.

this was on my sammy caster:

60hm sword
61hm robe
57hm/29int charm
185ee focus in acc slot

i was healing for around 900-950 with the gear like this. when i put the heal charm in my main slot, my avg heals went down to about 700ish. and yes, the extra mana reduction is a huge plus. if you cant get all of the hm from your charm, then try to make up for it with the other items. and ~50hm sounds about right, but like i said...i have never done the math. i just know that more is better

1% hm in the main charm slot will provide you with greater heals than your heal charm in the main slot.

A long time ago paul changed the acc slot to 75% effectiveness, a couple of updates ago he also reduced the cost of the acc charm to 75% mana consumption.

Thus you're getting 100% effectiveness, and even a measely 1% hm will give you a boost.

Yeah I've tried it with a 30% heal mastery charm on my guardian. I was getting around the same heal amounts but I was able to go on for a lot longer because of the less mana I would recommend it.

Ahhh, I didn't know about the 75% mana bit, thats awesome!

I will definately try this out Thanks!
