Cauterize ( Morph to Inferno on DK )

Why doesn't this spell do like all the other spells like it and heal the caster or lowest health ally. ( Like the ghost for the necro or the matriarch ) plus it's every 5 sec where as the ghost is every 2 sec and matriarch is upon casting.
I know the pvp'ers aren't going to like this idea bc of the terror DK's are in BG's and Cyro but just curious if anyone thinks this was a poorly made decision on the Dev's part.

    I think it was changed a while ago to be smart heal maybe it got bugged again, but the main problem of it is long tick delay and low duration.

    I only wish they made cauterize to refresh molten whip automatically.

    I believe it does work like that, as a smart heal. However, on Providing a heal on activation plus every 5 seconds afterwards is a pretty long time between ticks. I'd suggest keeping the duration of 15 seconds, but increasing the tick frequency to every 3 seconds to help alleviate that. This would provide a total of 6 total applications of the heal at the faster rate, rather than the current total of 4, and result in a small bonus for any Dragonknight Healers that may be lurking around too.

    It's the same as the Khajiit. Just not enough to make it viable endgame

    Its magicka cost is very low so you can spam it and it'll force the heals to reset.

    Hope when the class skill rework happens that Cauterize gets a cleanse component to it!

    Exactly, as a DK player myself I personally think this skill is a tad bit too OP due to how much it heals for the amount of magicka it costs. Honestly wouldn’t mind if they increased magicka cost by 60-70% with a purge component (maybe clear 2 Debuffs) so that it is a less spammy skill and more of a HoT.

    I'd go with a increased magicka cost of 25% and only 1 self purge. The reasons for why I chose this is because I don't want to disregard our stamina DK counterpart with their magicka issues, it can sometimes be unreliable as it heals the wrong ally, and because it is a single target heal and not a group heal. Honestly, the skill in my opinion isn't that op.

    It does work like that. it goes to whoever needs it. I actually like the odd way it works, shooting out every five seconds instead of being a shorter tick or any variation. You can cast it and forget it for a bit, you can spam it a few times in a row to shoot to someone in your group if you need to give them a burst heal. I run it as a PvE tank when I have the bar space for it and it's been helpful more often than most believe. Don't think it needs anything added to it IMO.

    I'd like to see the skill tick every 5 seconds as is but apply a HoT that lasts 5 seconds for every tick. So it can workout to being 1 tick a sec but resets to smart heal every 5 seconds. It needs to do something more than just poke every once in a while.

    This is a great idea, please do the same thing with the damage morph.
