DK Dragon blood change

Dragon blood now heals based on 33% of missing magicka instead of health? What? How is this beneficial at all?

So if your at full magicka, and a night blade gank you from stealth you can't heal because your magicka is still full.... wow... lol what a fix... *rolls eyes*

    That's Coagulating Blood, and it looks really cool to me. The base ability is now able to crit, which doesn't change much.

    The crit possibility is a good change. The magicka is not...

    The crit possibility isnt good because 99% of solo/smallscale magicka dk's need to wear heavy armor, resulting in low crit... yay

    So let's look at the math here. Let's say you're running 45k magika and have 5k mag left. That's 40k missing magika or 13,333 in healing before battle spirit. With battle spirit we're talking about a 6700 heal.

    While that's enough, now that it can crit, it requires putting yourself into pretty dire circumstances. I think Tava's will be more popular now since it lets you run less overall regen since you're relying on battle roar.

    I'm hoping it's just worded poorly, because it makes 0 sense to me. I was really hoping for a solid heal here, but at least there is no worry about us becoming FOTM anymore.

    The fact that it crits and is now based off a larger resource pool (Magicka instead of HP) may make it a viable heal, one that can be used after a while in combat when you've spent most of your magicka

    I assume it is the magicka before the cast of CDB. Is that the case? Obviously, after would be more awesome.

    Why couldnt they just make dragon blood heal for a certain amount instead of just changing the resource it comes off of, i hope this isnt put into the live server because its not helping dks healing whatsoever. The idea of it being able to crit is a good idea but making it heal 33% of your missing magicka is stupid.

    Unless it uses the post-cast magicka.

    Otherwise, cast something else first.

    I'm sorry but this solution is complete garbage. I have to run myself outta resources before I can get a heal? What a joke.

    How does this balance team stay employed at ZOS? It's pathetic that they think some of these changes are actually good ideas.

    I read the "Dragonknight balance" section and was utterly underwhelmed.

    The change to Coagulating will require testing (hello all mDKs running trainee).

    But everything else is just "meh". Buff to whip is nice, and so is leap fire dmg. But why the nerf to standard? Chains still won't be used.

    I guess time will tell.

    Changes to destruction staff are at least interesting. Although Force pulse now being unreflectable is totally annoying.

    Coagulating Blood was the better morph. Now there are no good morphs. Now dragon blood is even worse lol. Comedy. I remember why I quit this game after putting +1,000 hours of gameplay into my dk. 1 step forward. 2 steps back.
