Dodging Heals [NB]

ryanmjmcevoy_ESO · July 2015

This may be a known issue, and I know there was some talk about it a long time ago where one could dodge their own incoming heals, but I thought it had been fixed. Anywho, yesterday on my nightblade I was just wandering aimlessly, and I started to notice that, even out of combat, if I had Double Take active and started using Sap Essence, my character would go through the dodge animation. I don't know if it was simply an animation issue or if he was really dodging the heal, but that's definitely worth looking into.

Anyone else experience this?

P.S. Yes, I did submit a bug report

Quick way to test this is to note what your Weapon Damage is without using Sap, then if you see this again and have a chance to do pop open your character window, you should be able to see the boost if you get it.

If you time this right, it should not even interfere with the combat.

I also noticed a large amount of dodging on m NB VR1 alt today. After some testing I discovered the Double Take is causing him to dodge the heals from Force Siphon.

I then tested Sap Essence and yes indeed, Double Take was also causing the heal from that one to be dodged also.

Bugged both.

It's a bug since 1.6 released. Double Take has no relation to this bug.
If people dodge roll right after NB casting Sap Essence, they will 100% dodge the heal from Sap Essence and get ult regen buff.
It's the only way I know to get ult regen buff out of combat.

My poor Nightblade tank has become a portable ulti battery because of this.
