MAJOR BUG: Quick Siphon makes all self heals become 100% stronger (1600+ heals). Needs fixing

I have reported this bug for over 2 months now, and I have mentioned it several times before so it could get fixed. But it is still bugged on live and sadly very exploitable and I've seen more and more use it. I'm suprised it's not been hotfixed already.
The Quick Siphon (resto staff morph) bug:
Whenever you cast quick siphon (lasts 20 seconds) on an enemy, all initial heals will heal yourself for 100% more.
Let's say you heal yourself for 750 normally.
Bug: Quick Siphon active on a enemy target will make that heal you for 1500 instead.. (for example, breath of life would self heal a templar for 100% more while quick siphon is cast on target).
For a HoT like Rapid Regen, the first HoT tick will heal for 100% more, while the rest of the ticks will heal like normal (rapid ticks: 200, 100, 100, 100, 100 and so on)
For Entropy, every Entropy absorb will heal for double on every tick while quick siphon is on target (250, 250, 250 absorb heals instead of 125, 125, 125)
There are many other heals in the game affected as well.
The Quick Siphon morph is the only morph that seems to be bugged like this.
Force siphon and spirit siphon does not seem to have the bug that quick siphon does.
I hope this will get fixed once and for all.

Lemme clean that off of your nose for you.
Issues like this need to be fixed, I agree...but hardly a priority on the long list of things to do.
The only people I could see this causing inconvenience to is the PVP crowd. If said bug even works in PVP.

Sasky✭✭✭With that kind of turnaround, the issue had already been fixed but not pushed out yet. Which since the issue is 2 months old, I'd hardly say it was a high priority fix.3 -

I dunno, OP stated he's been happily exploiting this for ages. They should ban him

bugulu✭✭✭Maybe this bug was easily fixed and required only the devs attention and a very minimal amount of work to fix it.
Seriously, people who have no experience in coding shouldn't start crying about one issue being fixed before another. You'll just make a fool of yourself.
Do you really think that every issue in the game is equally difficult to fix? Whole dev team was involved fixing this bug?

Nobodys annoyed at the fix, they're annoyed by the lack of them.

Custos91✭✭✭Finally I don't have to argue with people anymore who wanted to use that bug in trials, siphon spirit is better for the group! No matter how many crystal shards you can spam with spamming Spellsymmetry all the time....Warden Main apparently... 7 Wardens currently, otherwise a healer of every class.
Mostly active in No CP PVP on EU, blaming the buffbot meta in pve.

Mystborn✭✭✭Wow, people are seriously complaining about this exploit being fixed? Even referring to it as a nerf?
QQ indeed
It does seem to be fixed on PTS already btw, I checked into it a few days ago and it wasn't doubling my heals any more.2 -

✭Great to see there are people who understand that balance is, balance.
Just as I bug reported my own ultimate to work to good, which got fixed.
This is great!
I hope more players will report bugs, even if they happen to be a bug that helps you.
We are really starting to get more good people, an ESO community and where we all are part of Tamriels past, current and future.
@monkeymystic
Great respect man! I feel the same way. I want to EARN my playing. If I only can perform good because a skill like this is broken, then its not me being good is it......

✭I do not know who the OP is. His statement was to fix a healing bug, that healed to much. And he stated he used it.
However it was true or or not how he plays, had nothing to do with my comment.
I am just glad that players are bug reporting bugs that are "helping" them.
As everyone on these forums, who I dont know in person, I treat equally and take every post that seams legit, as legit, until proven otherwise.
No matter about the OP. It was a bug, that obvious some players like to abuse (I dont understand such behavior), and it got a fast response and a fix is coming.
GREAT, that is the ONLY important part of this thread.
Anyones personal feelings or connection to the OP, is completely unimportant to help Zenimax find bugs and balancing the game.
