Healing ward lost the upfront heal?

dagonbeer

Just saw this in the sorc thread but haven't seen any other mentions of it until now. Can anyone confirm?

Minno

patch notes don't say.

If it did, its a bug.

Xeniph

The tooltip specifically leaves out any mention of the heal on cast. So it appears it's not a bug.

So can confirm

SirMewser

Ninja nerf to put the ability in line when using the new arena weapon which will prob have its stat bonus removed like they did with the Maelstrom and Master weapons.

No point in asking.
Just play if you like the game still.

Have a screenshot of it?

Yes, it no longer heal on apply and tooltip no longer say that it heal on apply.


So, it is change that seems forgot to be added to patchnotes. Was wondering why strongest damage shields wasn't changed, but it seems it was. Good.

WTF so mag chars now also got rekt on the only non-class burst heal

Thanks I will pass the issue along and hopefully we find out what's up.

They must want everyone to go stamina

It's not like healing ward the only shield i'd say was very strong didn't get a huge buff or anything.

Since Zos has clearly gimped the ability of dps to survive purely by themselves by spamming shields I almost feel like there is now some sort of external support source necessary in order to succesfully overcome and complete group content. Maybe we can invent a new role that is specialized in patching people up and keeping dps and tanks alive. Let's call it 'healer' or something...

Healer isn't gonna help endgame through 1 shot mechanics.

Jsmalls

So lemme get this straight. Zos simply does not want damage shields to be effective in any way shape or form.

Recovering from execute range is something all classes can and should be able to do.

But any class relying on damage shield mechanics is being absolutely **** on. If you react and apply defensive abilities before executed, you will remain in execute and take full damage.

Just remove damage shields from the game. If you don't want them used as a defense mechanic simply remove them, and give light armor other options.

Because at this current state light armor for several classes is crippled.

Joy_Division

Another terrible change.

Apache_Kid

It's like they aren't even trying anymore.

RIP the 2/5 classes that have no viable burst heal outside of Healing Ward.

DeadlyRecluse

Well that's pretty terrible.

Reverb

@ZOS_RobGarrett what say you about this? Healing ward is the only class-agnostic burst heal for "oh s***" moments. Is this really something you think is a good thing to take away?

Koolio

Wow really

DeadlyRecluse

Well that's pretty terrible.

Fantastic term. I will be stealing it in future posts.

ScruffyWhiskers

I bet they just left out the magicka version of Vigor as well.

Might as well delete NB, Sorc and DK healers now while we're at it. You can still play them but with all the nerfs to NB and Sorcs, neither will be desirable since all utility is being stripped from them and DK healers are still practically myths considering how little you actually see.

RIP all Magic builds in PvP.

Tryxus

Well... that sucks

Minno

lol terrible.

Like I said, they have stopped noting all the changes lately so you need to test everything more finely.

It just tooltip on not-upgraded template.

Told you guys that resto staff wasn't a buff, now you know what I meant... If not, you would be spamming healing ward with 100% major vitality...can't have that now, can we?
