Changes to ap gain while healing?

I read the patch notes for IC again but cannot find a reference to this. But i noticed a change to the amount of ap i am getting when healing zergs while running solo.

We all know rapid regen spamming emperors that had only ava rank 10 or below and could not kill anything. It also used to be a great way to get some ap on a rainy saterday afternoon when no organised group was up and the zergs were running back and forth between an outpost and a keep.

I normally run in raids now, but when i tried spamming rapid regen the last few days on a new char, with the same build, specs etc, i seem to get no or way less ap.
Of course i also throw in a lot of crushing shocks to trigger nerenieth , as rapid regen does not kill the red zergs.

But anyway, were these changes documented in patch notes or in another thread? I can't seem to find anything about it.

    AP within the city seems to be at a reduced rate compared to outside.

    Not sure it if was documented, sorry.

    10mins between every death are required to reset AP amounts to be aquired, whats the average return time of a killed enemy in IC? 8sec? def below 10sec and faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar below the required 10mins ...

    @Beesting You don't get AP automatically for healing. You only get it for healing someone who took damage from an opposing player, when that someone kills and makes AP themselves. Even then, unless you're in group with that person, you're not sharing AP evenly, you will almost always get a lot less than the player who gets the kill.

    EDIT: You can also get AP from healing people who jump off walls / cliffs and take damage, though there's a time out whereby you can't continuously do that.

    Depends how many Mutagen leechers nearby lol.

    If you're the only one leeching a raid, that also needs some healing, you do get loads of AP outside of group. Often more than the people in the actual raid.

    But trying to leech a zerg, that already have their own healers + pug leechers + runs over enemies in a seconds, your admirable "contribution" towards the kills, wont have time to register.

    I think stamina builds are stronger AP leechers right now. Combination of Caltrops + Vigor, is often better than spamming Leechagen, if you want AP for doing nothing :innocent:

    Caltrops, with enough weapon dmg, also ensures you get XP from the kills (free CP yay). While healing only gives AP, if you stalk some zerg when solo.

    Thx for replies , i suspected the vigor spammers were the culprit

    Like i said i normally have a lot of fun crushing shocking people that are almost dead while flapping my wings

    And i will try @Etaniel 's amazing dk small scale build, so much more fun than leeching :smiley:
