Tank healing standardization

PTS v8.1.2
Shadow Cloak
Dark Cloak (morph): This morph now heals for 11-14% of your missing health, down from 17-20%.

Keep in mind that while this number may seem high, as the ability and other sources heal you it naturally diminishes in power, making it much better to use when you are below 50% Health.

To Dev , if you are going to force to change NB Dark Cloak like this , I would suggest please apply this healing mechanics too all classes in the future , U36 or U37

Current noise not really strong enough because other classes don't know how bad it's going to be .

DK - No change , Igneous Shield great help
Warden - Polar wind changes to new Dark Cloak ? They have other low cost healing tools support , feel a bit harder but still ok , slot one more healing skill should be fine .
Templar - Restoring Focus changes to new Dark Cloak ? Big trouble , yeah templar gets Restoring Light skill line support but skills cost are too high , I don't think they can sustain in hard contents
Sorc - Summon Unstable Clannfear changes to new Dark Cloak ? Worst tank you will be , because another sub heal will be Summon Twilight Matriarch which scales highest offensive stats
Necro - Hungry Scythe changes to new Dark Cloak ? No more initial healing but better reward HOT at low health , still ok with Spirit Guardian , but tanking still not easy in hard contents

Can't wait to see .

I don't think Dark Cloak is a good heal for a NB Tank at all with their change. Hurting healing in a patch that is already Hurting when it comes to healing is not fun.

NB Tanking needs better.

It's not a good idea to extend Dragon Blood's mechanics to other classes, which grinds down the differences between classes and makes playing different classes boring. Not to mention that the Dragon Blood mechanic itself is very controversial.

Furthermore, it is the few core skills of each class skill line that make up the different tanking styles of each class, and now ZOS intends to turn the only skill the NB tank can rely on into a completely unusable skill, which makes the NB tanking build much more difficult. NB tanks will have to look for help completely from universal skills. And, what is the purpose of designing a class if it has to use no class skills at all while acting as a tank? It means you have totally failed in designing this class. It's a shame.

Dark cloak heals for less than half of green dragon blood AT BASE. Cauterize has execute scaling on top of that. Oh and dk gets a damage shield and major mending while NB does not.

NB tank is dead and I'm quitting the game.

The imbalance is so massive just compare these tank ultimates..

NB tank has bolstering darkness. 10% damage mitigation for 200 ulti.

DK gets magma shell.. 97% damage mitigation for 200 ulti. Oh and magma gives a massive shield to others and corrosive gives you 100% armor penetration too.
How is this fair?? Where is the BALANCE??!

they already have this same healing mechanic in the vampire drain and its just as useless there too lol

the only real benefits of the vamp drain are secondary effects such as the stam restore or ult gen
