    If HP-scaling skills become balanced around non-HP stacking classes, they end up overpowered on the niche builds that do stack HP.

    IMO, that's why they're kind of a terrible design for the current game. If you make blazing shield useful in PvP on your average, 26k health magplar, it becomes insanely OP on a 70k HP magplar. If you balance around the 70k dude, it becomes useless for every other spec.

    Arctic wind suffers from the same problem.

    So make it scale with character's highest stat ...

    How a frost magic spell HEALS you is totally beyond me, its never happened in Elder Scrolls before and ZO have tried to implement it and have failed.

    Make it a damage dealing spell, we have green balance for heals.

    I agree with this a lot. some of the defensive skills do kinda make sense (like ice fortress) but the heal could be way better served as a dps skill and maybe help out magden dps which is also in a poor state. maybe give one of the least used green balance skills a health percent modifier.

    Bad ability.

    I use Polar Wind on my new leveled Warden tank only 'cause I still don't have time to enter Cyrodiil and unlock Vigor. Once I do it (probably later next week as I need Caltrops, too), say good bye to Polar Wind and never look back.

    The cowardly Wood Elves are best noted for their unwillingness to engage in a face-to-face attack; a Bosmer will strike at you from every side except the front. You won't cross swords with a Bosmer, but you might catch an arrow in the throat. Be wary in forests and jungles, and watch your back.
