Honor the Dead doesn't heal self and ally?

GrumpyDuckling

I was under the impression that all skills in the Restoring Light skill line are supposed to heal the caster along with the caster's teammates.

Honor the Dead won't heal the caster if there is a nearby person with lower health. Is this a bug?

Working as intended, HtD heals exactly one person. The other morph, Breath of Life, heals two people.

Two people total? Or two people and the caster? (for breath of life)

Two people total. There have definitely been occasions where I, as the caster, was not one of the two people healed.

Okay thanks.

Used to heal the caster as well as an additional ally (or the caster + two additional allies with breath of life), but it got changed because... reasons.

Apparently Zenimax doesnt like the idea of having your abilities be reliable, they like you to play the lotto whenever you hit that button.

Haha seriously, if I'm emergency healing myself because my health is low I have to hope there's no one close enough to me, who is also low, who will steal my health.

I'm with you. I don't understand the change to remove the caster heal.

Breath of Life was nerfed to only the caster and one other player, so it makes sense that Honor the Dead would not stay as it was.

The one person or two thing, i get, balance etc.
I just wanna be able to turn so-calked "smart healing off" so i can CHOOSE who the one person is i heal.

Maybe i wanna heal myself at 3k left or my buddy at 2k left instead of my buddy's re-summonable clanfear at 1k left.
Maybe i wanna heal the nb at 5k left instead of the sorc at 1k who just popped up 20k of shields?

Like i said, i want to have an optional setting to turn control and tsrgetting of my heals to me, not the ai.

Some folks hsve said its idiotic, but hey, i want the option and think in some cases its reasonable.

All you guys complaining about BoL are either Magplars who spam BoL in 50 man zergs or do PVE only and have never seen how broken BoL was when it healed 3 people in total, through walls and ***.

I do agree that it should have a sort of targeting system or something so it can heal the correct 2 people and not just 2 random people.
