Symbiosis Change Suggestion

Tatertodd

Dear ZOS,

(I apologize if this was already mentioned!) I love the change to Symbiosis. It gives us non Templar healers utility when it comes to providing resources for DPS and Tanks but I think you guys could make it even more functional. What if instead of restoring only magicka every 1 second during a heavy attack channel Symbiosis instead would restore "X" amount of the lowest resource pool.

The reasoning for this? It gives non Templar healers an option for restoring both resources much like luminous shards does for Templars. Energy Orb restores the highest Mag or Stam resource and Symbiosis can help with the other pool. Of course the amount restored would need to be tweaked to make it balanced. I think this will add much needed diversity to the realm of healing and make for interesting setups for PVE and PVP alike.

Better yet, how about granting major protection to the target while channeling? Might be nice.

Was there undocumented change with this skill? What utility besides healing are you talking about.

Unless I am woefully mistaken, Symbiosis restores the caster's magicka while channelling a heavy attack, not the target's.

Does it not work with heavys? Should imo especially as the passive states channels.

Yah op, it restores your magicka, not your targets. It's now a weak heal alternative to light and heavy attacks, without the major mending.

I like the change. Even if the heal was a little nerfed, it's probably the best looking heal ability in the game

*Bah!* Ah, thank you guys. I guess I misread the tool tip big time. Welp, I guess my other healers will continue to collect dust.

I wouldn't call it a little, the heavy attack is 40% as strong as it was before and the loss of the heal over time greatly hurts its healing output, which I don't like. The ability to recover resources when channeling is nice I admit, I just wish that I could choose to keep the strong heal or the sustain option.
