Does this scale from health? If so, I'm a little annoyed that isn't added in the description. Are these mechanica listed somewhere?

    "Heal yourself for 10% of your max health". Says so on tooltip

    * for pvp

    Buffing this for pve would be unnecessary imho; it's already very good.

    Does the damage morph even do a decent amount?

    No, not really. It's 2% of max health in damage every 2s. So if I have 50k max health, it ticks for about 1k base every 2s. If damage is what you care about, then this isn't the way to get it. It does, however, function very well as a soft taunt and can apply Minor Maim to enemies, and Minor Toughness to the tank.

    Its ok in PvE but not good at all in PvP, and both of those are only with a lot of HP.

    Minor toughness from Green heals or War Horn, unfortunately not Artic

    Actually you do get the minor Toughness from Arctic blast and polar wind, you or your ally just have to be damaged for it to proc, same goes with the Green Balanced heals actually.

    Yep, as paul said it works from both morphs. Overhealing doesn't count though. But if you have even 1 hp more on one bar compared to the other, you can cast it and bar-swap (timing it to the 2s mark) and buff yourself out of combat.

    But why? The green tree clearly states when healing with a green tree ability right?

    Perhaps bugged. (It was changed). But it does work, confirmed.

    Are you really "healing" if they are at full health? :tongue: I might be wrong but I think most heal procs, sets and abilities alike need you to be less than 100%, if not states otherwise like SPC of course.

    I think it was changed during BETA but I screenshoted that from in game just a few seconds ago.

    Thanks paul, that makes sense. I don't remember last time I looked at it tbh I just knew it works! In an earlier post I was going to say "any" healing but couldn't remember why I thought that so I didn't in case I was mistaken. Now I know why I thought that lol

    Pardon me, I meant the damage morph, does the damage come from health?
    Regardless if it does a decent amount of damage another AoE Dot that heals helps and is worth this slot. Not to mention it would help proc Winterborn set bonus.

    Thanks for the information this far!

    I wish it scaled with magic damage.

    The Damage is based of health. The DoT is as strong as the HoT on you.

    Artic Blast heals can be improved from putting some champion points into Blessed for outgoing healing. It will at least show in tooltip an increase for heals in percent. More points into Quick Recovery might also help (for self heals).

    As for damage it will procs Monster Sets like Valkyn Skoria from DoTs, so it is possible to get more out of this skills if one want to use it as heal/damage ability. It isn't meant to replace "true" direct heals like our Ulti, but to complement healing abilities from Warden (most have conditions or delays to trigger). As for champion points it might be useful to increase damage from Thaumaturge (DoT) so each tick will be stronger then base DoTs.
