Patch note wrong for sorcerer? No 35% heal on unstable familiar or volatile morph?

Hridh · March 2015

This is in the patch note:
Unstable Familiar
This ability now heals the caster for 35% of their maximum health when the familiar is killed or toggled off.
(plus stuff like The unstable familiar (as well as the pets from the morphs of this ability) will no longer taunt monsters if the monster is engaged with other player characters.)

So, the unstable familiar and the volatile morph do no heal, only the clannfear? is it working as intended? are the patchnotes wrong?

Frankly, such kind or mistakes lets me believe that the sorc changes from 1.6.4 to 1.6.5 were utterly rushed through, and not at all thought through! and of course, such a nerf to not have been tested before live, why? Also, my lghtning spells cost next to half my magika as a stamina sorcerer, but that's just a personal rant.

I thought using volatile on only 1 bar, and not sacrifice 2 slots for a pet, which I never used yet, and likely will not if the heal is only on clannfear

I bet the patch notes were incorrect. In Gina's original post a while back she only mentions the Clan Fear.

Hey guys, thanks for your patience. We do have a status to share regarding Sorcerers as they currently stand.

First, there is one outstanding issue with Crystal Fragments not proccing when you cast Bolt Escape; we are aiming to fix this by time Update 6 is live. While we aren’t planning to implement any additional changes before Update 6 goes live, we will be keeping a very close eye on how Sorcerers – and all classes – perform in a Live environment, and will make tweaks as necessary. With Update 6 just around the corner, we don’t want to make any drastic changes that could affect gameplay in a negative way.

That said, we do have plans to make the Sorcerer more effective as a stamina DPS, tank, and healer. The first change we already made towards that direction is allowing the Clannfear to heal the caster based on their maximum health when the Clannfear is killed or dismissed. In a future update, we will be looking at giving the Sorcerer unique ways to fulfill the healer role, or deal damage with stamina-based abilities. Some specific issues we will also be evaluating are the number of toggled abilities on the class, Surge healing cooldown, and tweaks to make Dark Exchange more useful.

Please continue to report any issues you may come across, and thank you for all your support and feedback!

Clanfear only. So choice between tank + heals or 'splody purple monkey.

Can we have a dev answer on whether the patch notes are wrong or if it's a bug?

It is just intended to be the clanfear. This is how it was on the pts when it was stealth patched in.

The patch note is incorrect - this only applies to the Clannfear. We'll edit that note now to avoid further confusion, sorry about that!

Or choose to invest the skill point elsewhere & refuse to have anything at all to do with those god awful pets!

Haha won't actually make a change to before then...
I thought I might give a pet a try, for a change, not like I have never been using the since leveling outta noob zone, and likely won't until there's a least a stam morph or they only use one slot... at least, helps choose skills!
