Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Mend Armor and Soothing Cold scale very poorly.

These skills seem okay when you first get them, but as levels increase and damage and armor increase, it's clear that they do not scale properly at all.

At level 17, it's 158 armor for those around the caster. That's enough to be easily broken in one single attack from one single enemy. It needs to restore at least double that by that point. I've now unmemorized them, they're just worthless.

The short range doesn't help either.

Do you know if you can stack mend armour and soothing cold from multiple characters?

No, they don't stack, it's merely replaced by the last cast. (I just checked this to confirm.) Even if they did, that's not a reason to make a single cast so underwhelming.

I don't necessarily have an issue with them falling off as the game gets into the last two acts. But it would be nice if they had use through the entire game. They are definitely not worth investing into in when you're past 14.

I suppose the best thing you can say about them is that they only cost 1AP, whereas other armour replenishing skills cost 2.
