Tryed both with shadow barrier buff on and off, and nothing changed. with some mob health return is correct , with others isn t.

Before last patch it only happened sometimes, but now really often.

Ah, it was just an idea. Thanks for taking the time to check it or else it would have bugged me till I finally return home

K after some more test, it seems that if u start the fight with swallow soul, hidden or not , it is always bugged.

Yes it's bugged. It currently heals for 25pct of the damage dealt immediately prior to the spell landing.
If you open with it it won't heal.
If you use it after a 100 dmg light attack it heals for 25 health per tick.
If you soam it twice it will heal as expected.
And if you use it after a 2k dmg stealth open it will heal for 500 per tick.

Its been /bugged many times, yet we still have DKs sulking when we ask for our class skills to be fixed.

I've found this spell to be fairly weak as a heal, it's ok as a damage dealer if you pump all your jewelry into spell damage to build it up. However, it does not do Damage over time, it does damage once and the heals the player for several seconds spread out - not enough of a heal to actually save you if you are taking any real damage.

Barely healing me when I'm tanking. Have both of them on my bar.. They need to be buffed, actually

That's an interesting accomplishment since they're both morphs of the same skill.

Yes the HoT on this is, surprise surprise, bugged. But the way most NBs play this it's not an issue (spam spam spam). If you make a caster build this is a very powerful skill. In fact it's the only skill a lot of NBs use in PvP.

Here's the tactic for a caster NB in PvP (well a very common one):
1. Hold block
2. Spam Swallow Soul
3. Win

This skill can be spammed very quicky. Much quicker than any other skill I've seen. If you have a caster build you can hit for 5-700+ (if you pump magicka right up and max spell damage it can go a fair bit higher) and throw out 3 per second. It's extremely boring and cheesy but very effective.

the skill hurts and heals more then you think. i'v been ruined with swallow soul many times, nothing else just swallow soul spam, it usually hits in the 400 range per cast and seems to heal them for about 250 every cast as well, tried escaping (not bolt escape that actually works) but it's instant and spammable, tried engaging them, results in you dying to a blocking soul spam NB, tried CCing him hard, didn't matter he kept healing and thats if they weren't blocking, the blocking ones are worse then DK's.
seems either diseased effect from enchant doesnt work or it heals and ignores it as if i come up to a soul spam NB i can only do one thing, and thats to attempt to break combat with him using an invisibility potion and hightailing it out of there in stealth.

it comes down to them scaling quite high with it's spam and the fact you can cast+block at the exact same time with no penalty

You people are all wrong. Including you so called zos employee. It does 3k damage 3k dot and heals you for about 1k and has no cool down and cost 132 Magika
