Heal Debuff Stacking

rophez_ESO

Do you think heal debuffs from different sources should stack? Or should only the highest debuff take effect?

Huntler

Only the highest value debuff should affect the target.

0 healing effectiveness should never exist, ever previous PvP game of all time has realized this if that game had heal debuffs... they all either made the same mistake and fixed it or realized initially it is horrible game design.

Personally, I think it's too easy to apply debuffs from various sources and get someone near to 100% heal debuffed. I think only the highest debuff should take affect.

It's like the elemental status effects: you don't get 40 different procs of flame at the same time, even from different pulsespammers. Same should go for healing debuffs. Either it should renew the duration (as with elemental procs) and/or increase the potency depending upon it's effectiveness.

Pathfinder

100% heal debuff should never happen since it does not only affect the player(s) debuffed. Smart heals that continually go to the low health debuffed player(s) are completely wasted.

It is NEVER EVER good practice to stack heal debuffs. In any game.

I went with shouldn't stack, Although I would be fine with stacking to a capped amount which isn't stupid.

Heal Debuffs from different sources should stack as is.

I like different sources stacking, opens up potential for niche builds that can do things others cannot.

Perhaps you could stack the debuff up to a maximum of 75% debuff? So flare + lethal = 75% reduction in healing. But lethal + lethal wouldn't stack.

If two separate people put a debuff on you, they should stack (up to a reasonable limit). My only gripe is debuff stacking from the same attacker.

While I totally disagree, can we say at least, that the same skill's debuff from different persons should not stack ?
Like, 2 snipers causing a 100% heal debuff? Like we all know it?

But there shouldnt be a heal debuff on snipe. A heal debuff should be something u use situational and not something that comes with the best dps special.

There is so much healing in the game that sometimes it's needed. I don't think smart heals should target someone that's not going to get healed by it though.

Purge is a your friend, at least it will be once they fix the bug.

I said this in another thread. When snipe had a longer induction, and a dead zone, it was a situational skill. Since the update its still a very powerful skill, totally spammable at zero range, still gives a poison effect, the healing debuff as well seems a bit much.

No MMO ever has a 100% healing debuff stack, though with blocking in this game it might be needed.

It does rage me and my healers sometimes but with people who stack shields and heals and have good block. It could make it even worse if there is a cap for it.

Really hard to tell how it would pan out.

Though as stated the hardest attacking ability in the game shouldn't have a healing debuff. Balance 101 Zenimax.

please tell me the heal de-buff stacking via lethal arrow was fixed last maintinance

Jaerlach

Only the highest value debuff should affect the target.

It's tough because a lot of tanks in this game are only kill able with stacked debuffs. My main purpose in pvp is to put the 2nd debuff on siphonblades and blazing shield templars and watch them melt.

Tripwyr

Only the highest value debuff should affect the target.

I personally believe that in order for this game to be reasonably balanced, healing debuffs need to be completely removed or dramatically reduced. Heals should be rebalanced to compensate for this change.

As it is, you either have a healing debuff and can kill somebody (or in the case of stacking completely prevent them from being effective at all), or you don't have a healing debuff and the opponent can laugh you off.

I feel heals should be weakened and healing debuffs should be removed completely.

Zed

I'm a lol sniper and I want my debuff from the same source to stack up to 100%.

100% debuffs all the way.

Seriously though, they should work in a way similar to other debuffs.

badmojo

I really don't care. I never cried when I got "lol sniped".

Dont waste your time polling and writing threats,its so obvious that ZoS wants a 2 key win for nubs that cant do anything else.

At the end...those 2 key nubs will remain.

Lava_Croft

Only the highest value debuff should affect the target.

Even without debuff stacking, Snipe remains highest damage, longest range, no dead zone and a free healing debuff. It's still pretty overpowered even after the debuff stacking fix.

Sanct16

Purge should remove healdebuffs at first priority healdebuffs and afterwards DoTs (highest dps dots at first).
I usually have so many negative effects on me that I cant use purge to get rid of heal debuffs or soulstrikes. I completely dropped it as its just waste of magicka atm.

Yes. Purge either needs to remove more debuffs or have sane priorities when it comes to removing debuffs.

It needs to work the same way as everything else. You can have more than one poison or burning dot at the same time if they are from different moves. Also fix the purge bug.

I don't think they took that course
