Green dragon blood needs to be 33% of max health rather than missing health

It is about time to buff green dragonblood. This heal need to be changed to 33% of max health. It's been stuck in a bad place for far too long. This heal is only good when you are in execute range.

With the changes to unblockable and undodgeable skills, this skill is even worse. Blocking to use green dragon blood at 20% hp? Too bad, here is a poison injection tick for 3.5k. Take this mages fury as well for 7k. Don't worry, here comes subterranian assault for 5k. The reasoning behind green dragon blood cannot be defended anymore. It is abysmal and a waste of magicka.

Please, for the love of all things dragon, buff green dragon blood.

    Current form adds a factor of skill involved. The longer you hold out, the bigger the heal. Tanking (where this is most relevant) becomes about knowing just how far you can push the limit and still stay upright.

    It's also not intended to be your only source of healing.

    Changing it to 33% of your max health is not going to no change your build. It will increase your healing. This would be a buff to everyone including players with low health and a bigger buff to tank with high health.

    oohh on the contrary, you see @sly007 is asking for a greater heal on a Tank class here in this thread, and with that change it will need balances.
    so it should most assuredly be well noted and documented that with those heals should bring on less damage.

    Lol, just lol haha you aint serious right? Stam dks have amazing healing to a point where you dont even need rally anymore and you can run forward instead. Besides that green db is made for high Hp setups and thus still has its place very much(especially as it can crit too now).

    Green Dragon Blood is very effective on some builds and 33% of max health would be very over-powered. It doesn't need a buff just because it doesn't work so well for your specific build. You can just choose a self-heal that does work with your build.

    I just wish we could get a slightly more subtle set of visuals for it. I keep that active my stam knight most of the time when I'm not chugging potions, and the visuals are... wacky.

    33% of missing health is fine, and better than having the ability nerfed to 20% max health or something similar, if this went through.

    Agreed Munster1404, only bad thing about GDB is the grafix effect :)

    @sly007 just make sure I understand you right, you want GDB to be a fixed 33% of max health, Heal?

    So at tank build with 60k Health, would have a spamable, insta self heal at 20k,
    +8% for 5 pieces of Heavy armor
    25% for Major Mending,
    10% maybe for Argonian
    10% from CP

    Give or take a little you know have a 30k Insta self heal, that could Crit.... a few CP in the right place and you got a 45K heal :)
    And I didn't take a Powered sword or the Ritual as mundus...

    I'm glad you thought this throu

    You are about few patches late. If you said this pre-Morrowind, you definitely would have been correct. But not now, post-Morrowind has been a slip and slide to tje pit for StamDKs. StamDKs do not have great heals. Every single aspects of tanking for PvP has been nerfed. Unsure why people still believe StamDK has good heal. Maybe it is because of the Warden/Templar pocket healers or they mistook Stamden as DK.

    It's a strong heal for high health builds. But having such high health also mean having equally low magicka and stamina.

    About the increased healing, that is a part of the Dk kit. Using 8k magicka for 1 heal for 30k outside cyrodiil is fine. Nb have a hot that heals them for 33% of their max hp over 3.5 seconds and also give minor protection.

    Stating that the heal can be very strong does not mean that it is not weak in it's current state. It only proves that this heal is only viable for builds of utmost health. Igneous shield's damage shield was nerfed to deter high health tanks from giving their team mate a big damage shield. Only now did dk get major mending for 5.4 seconds back but at the cost of shield strength.

    Thus, I have to disagree that the currently state of green dragon blood is fine. It should he a stronger heal that it is now, especially if you are going to spec heavily into health.

    I used to run GDB with forward momentum in PvP in place of shuffle prior to it requiring 5pc medium. It does make a significant difference, but it also requires investment into Health Recovery to fully take advantage of it.

    If Elder Dragon gave a flat Health Recovery bonus in addition to what it does now, GDB would actually be useful in PvP. Some have said to take off the Major Fortitude buff and add something else. Replacing that with 300-600 Health Recovery, dependant on any Elder Dragon changes, GDB would be a very strong supplemental heal that could compete with wings slot.

    So DKs would have the option of Rally+Wings+Vigor or GDB+FM+Vigor.

    Don't know how removing Major Fortitude would affect PvE. If a PvE main would like to chime in feel free.

    As a side note:
    the more heal you can do the less damage you should be able to do.
    Excellent. Completely irrelevant, but excellent, nonetheless.

    Didn't you say that a 65k hp tank should still be a threat in a nerf sorc thread?

    You aren't using the most stupid opponent there is someone who should never ever be a threat to an exceptional player yet this set gives everyone, even a 65k health tank the opportunity to apply 3.5k oblivion dps on an enemy that is actively defending himself with the tools his class is build around.

    It’s the best self heal out off all tanks.
    I’m for it if:

    Sorc clanfear cost drops from 7k to for 4K.

    Dark cloak also becomes instant or heals for 40-45% of your max health over the 3 second

    Wardens ice self heal also jumps dramatically to some equally strong(its currently garbage) lets all laugh at 12% of max health.

    Why isn't that OP? Most burst heals are 2 or 3 clicks to full health as well. I dont see why tanks should not be able to heal themselves. It's like says dps do significantly more damage so their healing should not heal them in 2 clicks.

    Tanks with 60k health will not be able to spam this due to resource restraints. Tanks with such high health are not even able to block much either for the same reason. Therefore, I see no issue in buffing green dragon blood. It cost a lot and it is only a self heal.
