templar healing and ap?

Palindrome

so i am curious why is it that a resto staff regen (mutagen or rapid regen) grants AP every tick and yet the templar class ability Cleansing Ritual and its morphs reward nothing neither on cast or on tick

---

this is just a side note and really not as much concern as the fact that we flat out do not get rewarded for some of our class healing spells, however i do feel it is worth mention
Breath of life, i can heal allies for over 2/3 of their health and i get 25 ap for it when you kill said player you would get hundreds. would it not be right to give healers a reward more in line with the players kill value

just some thoughts off the top of my head but, if a player is worth 1000ap when killed and a healer heals said player for 65% of their total health the healer should receive 650AP
and i understand this value would have to deminish in the same way that kill value diminishes. if a target is healed repeatedly over a short time the AP reward for healing should drop off.

I agree that heals should give more AP but to have it drop off after repeated heals would be counter productive as I personally heal my group a ton. Also my understanding is that if I heal someone who then defeats another player then I get passive AP from what that player does. I also agree about the restro stave and class heal imbalance, but of course the common answer I expect to see is well use a Restro stave then.

Just be glad you have a class healing skill (or even 5 different ones).
My sorcerer has 0. Daedric Summoning pets don't give much AP either.

I am right there with you, as i heal my groups constantly and as much as i would hate to see the value drop off i feel there is no other answer else everyone would scream and cry that we get kill value constantly.
however in those situations where a battle has just begun and a healer preforms a life saving breath of life for over 2k getting 25ap is kinda a slap in the face.
as for resto staff i do use one, and i use at least one of its skills at all time not because i think it is the most effective way to keep my group alive but rather because it is the only way to stay competitive with AP gains.

I feel we are already getting the reduced value as is. i would expect that those first few heals that really keep the battle moving to be a higher (nearly kill worthy) value and the amounts we are currently seeing on live to be the reduced value for a fight that has been going on for some time


and this is kinda the point i am getting to. rather that slotting a skill that could be a make or break in a fight i am forced to take an already limited skill load out and reduce it by 20% so that i can have a nearly worthless skill (when compared to other options) that gains fair ap

Agreed... too many dishonest folks would be jumpin on this.
