Here's the link to the bug report with video evidence. I just wanted the community to be aware.

As someone who has been playing a Nightblade tank a ton lately, and using this ability constantly I hope this can get looked at.

You and me both.

I tried using it with vigor on my Stankblade and its pretty underwhelming in pvp in its current state. Battle spirit ruins it, costs a fortune, minor protection is too short even when they fix the bug.

It is quite taxing, and I agree the duration is too short.

I mean would anyone even notice it if it worked? 3 seconds duration is painfully low

I believe one of the Shadow passives increases the duration.

It's a whopping 3.5 seconds.

Not much of an increase then.

I will pass this issue along.

Battle Spirit needs to stop applying to missing Health based heals. It should only apply to Max Magicka/Stamina scaled Healing. That's one of the reasons actual Tanks are so trash in Cyrodiil.

Pass along that Heals based on missing Max Health like Green Dragon Blood and Dark Cloak should not be hit by 50% reduction by Battle Spirit as well. You're giving up the ability to Stealth for a heal that only returns 16% of your missing health. There's a reason players don't use either one of these skills in PvP.

Pretty sure dark cloak heals are based on max health, not missing health.
