Do you think Minor Lifesteal change is good idea?

Minor lifesteal no longer procs anything that requires "on heal" condition. This includes Minor Toughness, SPC etc. Nobody complained about this... Do you believe this is a good change?

✭✭NoI hadn't previously heard about this change, and it totally blows up some of my healer builds that relied on minor lifesteal to create additional "on heal" proc opportunities.
Beyond that, it reinforces the idea that Blood Altar is primarily a tank skill, and reduces the usefulness of Force Siphon significantly.
Do you know if this change also affects how minor lifesteal is affected by crit chance, crit healing, and healing done?4 -

They know people wouldn't like it either. It was a total stealth change for that reason.8 -

✭✭✭✭✭NoWith this change only warden healers can consistently bring minor toughness to group, which is bull**** because that's a class buff. Any other class has the option to bring their class buff in every spec. With this change, wardens are an exception.Edited by zvavi on November 4, 2020 4:10AM9 -

- Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar/arcanist will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).

Grandchamp1989✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭NoHorrible change and doesn't make any logical sense.
Maturation or the minor toughness passive is supposed to proc when you heal yourself or an ally. Alter is now the only heal that doesn't respond to it. No sense!
Also, stop nerfing tanks! You destroyed all our major and minor buffs (protection, maim, vulnurability) why you gotta destroy our Alter synergies too?
Stupid change like so many this patch.
Go back to how it was and please fix this BROKEN post-patch game while you're at it.6 -

✭✭YesWith this change only warden healers can consistently bring minor toughness to group, which is bull**** because that's a class buff. Any other class has the option to bring their class buff in every spec. With this change, wardens are an exception.
I doubt they will change their mind so it's time to rework proc condition on Maturation. Something like "when heal yourself, you apply Minor Toughness to you and your group". You should have Minor Toughness just for having any Warden in group (this is how all minor buffs work) and not specifically warden healer.
And sorry for that "Yes". Miss click, should have been big fat "NOOOO".Edited by Olupajmibanan on November 4, 2020 6:53AM2 -

If tanks having healing AOE healing output is a problem then why do we have healing proc sets like there's no tomorrow.
Winter's Respite, Hiti's, Almalexia's Mercy, Draugr Rest, Battalion Defender... They all help heal your team.. By a lot.
It's like Alter has to pay the price for every tank AOE heals like that will fix anything.
Slap on Winter's Respite and BOOM you're back to healing your team lol. It's not gonna fix the healer problem one bit.
3dd 1t will still be a thing.
Unless they start to nerf every self heal in the game and all the proc sets into obscurity 3dd 1t will be a thing until they implement proper healing checks in dungeons where the team take consistent strong poison damage that has to be healed consistently.1 -
Paramedicus✭✭✭✭well, compared to proc sets, altar is just too low price you need to pay to get buffs:
u waste one skill slot vs u waste 5-piece set + all those sets have serious limitations (range or u need to perm block)
I noticed that ZoS tries to play this game of balancing between adding brain-dead features (ie proc sets) and making them costly to use. IMO most often best groups wont use healing sets on tanks and choose damage boosting ones, while worse teams may use proc healing sets that help with survivability. I think this is whole logic behind ZoS doings.
While I sometimes abuse healiong sets on tank, i gotta say that I actually dont like this logic, because it makes healers obsolete anyway. I think that I just understand the motion.PC EU/script JumpToHouse("@Paramedicus")↑↑↑ Feel free to visit my house if you need to use Transmute Station or vet Trial Dummy with buffs and Aetherial Well (look for the Harrowing Reaper on the northern rock wall) ↑↑↑0 -
Itzmichi✭✭✭✭✭NoThis is just idiotic. Proc =/ Debuff - Seems like a change a new intern would make. With that reasoning they should revamp the whole combat/debuff system, that's just a change nobody asked for - Already nerfing major/minor buffs/debuffs and now they screw around with one of the last useful things a tank can actually provide in 4 man groups and raids alike.

the1andonlyskwex✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭NoWas this in the patch notes?
It isn't explicitly spelled out, but it's probably part of the "hard coding" of major and minor buffs and debuffs. My guess is that instead of tracking individual sources like it did previously, the server now just has an on/off flag and a countdown timer for each major/minor buff/debuff. If that's the case, the server wouldn't even have the information necessary to grant credit for on heal procs. It would also have to change the way minor lifesteal is affected by the caster's stats, although I haven't yet seen any testing to confirm that.
If I'm right, it seems like the change was intended to improve performance and maintainability of the code (although hard-coding things rarely improves maintainability in the long run), and not for any real gameplay reason.2 -

Someone would need to test for us to know for sure (I would do it myself, bit I'm on console). The obvious options are:
1) minor lifesteal counts as self healing
2) it counts as some sort of environmental healing without a player source
3) I'm wrong and ZOS just disabled proccing "on heal" effects from minor lifesteal separately from the other major/minor buff and debuff changes
Which one it is probably also affects whether it can still crit and how it is (or isn't) affected by +healing done.Edited by the1andonlyskwex on November 5, 2020 12:55PM1 -

Olupajmibanan✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭YesDon't mind the "yes" please. Should have been "NO" but miss clicked.
Minor Lifesteal lost its ability to proc sets, so there is no other effect now than to provide healing which is underperforming compared to other healing procs such as Hiti's Hearth. With severely diminished need for Alkosh and synergy from Altar, Minor Lifesteal and abilities that provide it will be often ommitted. Time to significantly increase the strength of Minor Lifesteal if proccing sets is not an option.Edited by Olupajmibanan on November 5, 2020 1:14PM1 -
Rehdaun✭✭✭✭✭NoOf course it isn't!! Stealth nerfs at at release only cause the rift between development and players to further widen, something that's been happening for quite a while in this game.1

Apox✭✭✭✭✭Noi dont understand why they did. the closest i can imagine is an attempt to curb the power tanks have i 4 mans hen running 3 dps.
It wont work. Heal orb/echoing vigor are both still really solid options that proc everything blood altar did.2 -
AyaDark✭✭✭✭✭NoThis change as i understand was made becase optimization.
If it is hardcoded - you can not find who put it and what special effects it has.
So it just heals. But its value us to small to slot it, even for tanks.
600 healing ? If 1k nay by it us ok.
And just put some other skill than.
If as example for healer heal skill + this will be the same as this + mass wigor or some set that do the same it will be ok.
Now what is a point ?
If you can slot better heal.
Before it was good because of it proc some sets, if now it do not work it is bad.1 -

First time I've heard of this. While I don't think this is make or break stuff, but as a healer main, it definitely will make me consider shifting from Blood Alter to Healing Circle from Fighters Guild skill line, as it heals almost as much as minor life steal, ticks every 1/2 second, and WILL proc other bonuses that proc "on heal." It also has the added benefit of giving 8% damage reduction to the entire team. Sucks that it scales off of stam rather than magika, but seems like an adequate replacement for Blood Alter on my bar.
In the meantime, seems like the Offtank should now run blood alter to set down by main tank for synergy "oh-crap" heals.1 -
