Healing Ward needs some love

Expert

healing ward is bad, an item such as BRP shouldn't be the reason to slot the skill. xD

Nerf BRP abit and give healing ward its old shield strengths, make it have a cost increase if u spam it like streak or roll dodge tho. this would answer for a lot of struggles magicka classes face. Healing wards was our magicka version of Rally heal.

pls revise it!

or any of ur ideas work, anything to bring back the glorious nostalgic healing ward!

Cheers! @ZOS_Gilliam @ZOS_BrianWheeler @ZOS_GinaBruno

Make healing ward great again!

I haven´t used healing ward in years...well since the last nerf.
I changed my playstyle, skills and what not. And now you want them to buff it? No thanks. Too late

They nerfed Healing ward to be so useless nobody would run it. That pushed you and others to change their playstyle and skills because healing ward wasn't a debatable option.

U want to debate urself between good skills and run what works best for you, but since healing ward is really out of the picture you and most others would automatically go for radiating regen without even weighing out the options.

It'd be great to see it be as good as radiating regen so it becomes diverse when it comes to options on what u want to do. BRP resto staff is the only reason you would run it, not the skill itself but the item that does it. LOL

Yeah we will never know why they made all those random changes to weapon skills back when they pretty much removed s&b as a viable damage playstyle, destroyed 2h trying to make onslaught not crazy, and made healing ward a terrible ward while at the same time a terrible hot that goes away nearly instantly when being attacked. Back then zos was doing alot of heavy back and forth changes that made little sense....now there seems to be a slightly more clear direction, i guess.

It is also sad how they removed mutagen to try to make a mag vigor situation. Mutagen was lowkey a good anti lag tool. It would provide a hot and at the same time be used to remove other effects that are ticking.

Healing ward needs to be self targeted in first place.. Its very unreliable skill..

No, please stop [snip] to nerf things for the sake of PvP. BRP healing ward isn’t meant to be a shield, it’s to apply vitality to someone/yourself to increase your healing received. The shield itself is secondary to the buff it applies.

If the effect of the actual ability is secondary to the bonus you get from a piece of gear that modifies the ability, there's a serious balance problem. Skills should be useful without requiring you to equip a specific piece of gear.

How Healing Ward's mechanics work is fine. The numbers are not and are obviously so low because of the overpowered BRP resto.

old healing ward was great and the burst heal felt rewarding. i slotted harness magicka and armor master as substitute for now
