WP/Regeneration and Numina's C

I've looked around a bit, and I'm having a hard time finding an answer to this question. I hope someone can help me.

I'm running a lvl 50 DB/WP brute. He is VERY heavy on the regen. I've slotted sets with as much regen boosting as I can get.

Now I'm slotting Numina's in. I plan to put at least two into both fast healing and health.

I'm considering putting 4 into health, and if it works, maybe 4 into fast healing.

So the multi-million dollar question is, does the Numina bonus of "Improves all of your healing powers by 6%" apply to ALL powers that have a health related effect (such as health and fast healing) or is it specifically for "click" (or targeted) heals?

So, a follow up, if slotting Numina's up in fast healing and health to get both to give me the bonus to healing powers, would it be more effective to slot both health and fast healing with all four? Or would I get more bang for my buck having 1 (or both) of those powers just maxed out with health IOs?

Thank you tons for the help.

I've never done it myself to test, but all indications I've read are that bonus to healing doesn't affect regen or powers which add to max hp. I think I remember it even doesn't increase the heals in click powers which add to max hp.....like dull pain and such.

+heal only boosts heals, not regen. I'm not sure, but I don't think it affects +max hp either. It does affect the heal component of heal/max hp powers like Dull Pain (but see below).

Also, any heal which includes any form of resistance is flagged "ignores buffs" which means that the +heal doesn't affect them.

Just like Defense Buffs and Defense Debuffs are actually the same thing applied in different ways, Damage Buff and Damage Resistance Buffs are the same things. Allowing Healing Flames to be buffed by outside sources would cause odd things to happen, like if you were under the effect of +Damage set bonuses, or hit Build Up just before Healing Flames. And unfortunately, adding the "ignores buffs" flag applies to the power as a whole, rather than the individual parts.

At least, that's how I understood Castle's explanation WAY back when he posted it.

The 4th slot bonus in numina only works on powers that heal and don't have a res effect to it (like FA's healing flames and Regen's reconstruction because og their res to toxic effect. I wish they do something about that). It won't work on +HP only powers like HPT (but will effect the heal part in dull pain). 3 slotting numinas in as many powers you can on a /WP, however, is always a good thing IMO.

Yes, 3 sloting Numina's in a lot of powers is a good thing. More for the max HP bonus than the regen.

Regen is good, but more HP makes that regen work better.
