It's meant to only heal in a 180 degree radius now instead of the aoe smart heal it had before.

I'm not sure if its just me but it seems like its still aoe, or the 180 degree radius is a bit dodgy. I've seen some healers healing people i'm attacking while facing the wrong way.

    The primary heal (the only heal on unmorphed and Honor the Dead) is 180. The kicker heal on BoL is still 360.

    Why is that? Did zos change their mind?
    Hear i thought breath spammers would actually have to use their brains and simply point their heal. 180 was a good change

    The primary heal should be whatever in front of you, the secondary lesser heal is still all around.

    No, it is working as intended. The skill says
    Breath of Life: Beacon your inner light, healing yourself or a wounded ally in front of you for X Health. Also heals one other injured target for X Health.

    The secondary heal is not subject to the restriction of the first.

    According to Combat Lead Designer: "it is intended that the secondary heal from Breath of Life is 360 degrees. It was a compromise between the old and new implementations. It also keeps the main design goal intact of allowing the caster control over who's gets healed."
    So, it is working fine.

    What a weird change then. It misses out on both the convenience of the old BoL and the extra challenge/brain usage of the new one(had both heals been 180 degrees).

    The extra heal is half of the main, so at best you are getting 5-13k on it, calm down on calling weird, makes the skill less worthless and the only reason I slot it over healing ward.

    Don't compare breath to healing ward.

    They aren't even in the same league.

    So the main heal is 180 but the off heal is 360? Hmm, was hoping they'd stick the change so healbots need to use their brain every so often.

    Must be boring spamming breath, beam and purifying light.

    I would love for it to be chaneled, maybe .2 secs and if interupted they loose x amount of magika. It would have no impact on pve.

    I mean in pvp, spamming block, heal, block, cleanse, block and repeat is good game play!

    Channeled would be too much of a nerf.

    Just simply aiming would be amazing, nothing worse than nearly killing someone only for them to be healed by a magplar thats not even looking. When they don't even know they just saved someone...
