Yet common sense would tell you that this cannot be the intended behavior. Assassin’s Will is a hard hitting ability. Tooltips above 20k+ are not rare, and it is hitting anywhere from 6k to 15k+ depending on the builds involved. Such abilities usually have a requirement. In case of Will the 5 LAs are there so you can’t just proc it, hold it, and then instantly kill someone.
But this is what’s happening when you allow Mend Wounds “light attacks” to build the proc. I don’t need a dictionary to see that this is indeed not intended behavior because it circumvents the design patterns across the whole game.

Every exploit is somehow clever use of mechanics simply because you use something the game allows in its current state. I don’t deny this is creative. But it doesn’t mean it’s intended because of that.

Does no one read? this was my whole point to begin with and he sstarts arguing with me. Do I agree it's kinda busted? Yes. Is the out of combat stack retention busted? Yes. But he insisted that insists a bug. I'm just trying g to say he doesn't know that because zos words things poorly.

And I'll tell you also you say "common sense would tell you that this cannot be the intended behavior" I'm sorry but that's just wrong. It's exactly something zos would do and at this point I would expect nothing less. They have what only a couple skills in the game that procs from light attacks? Common sense would tell you they tested this and it made it into the patch.

After reading Your posts common sense tells me You played not long enough or You're not experienced enough to say about common sense in this game and developers actions. You just belive what you want to belive and suppoort it with nonsense arguments.

While you assume things are bugs when you have no proof or evidence. Has absolutely nothing to do with in game experience.

If you do this, I’m pretty sure the overload bugginess and the mend wounds bugginess feed upon themselves in an infinite feedback loop. Your character immediately explodes, then is deleted from the server, and then causes a weird glitch where wrobel sends you a hand-written note IRL explaining that he just *** your mom and they’re thinking about moving in together. Like I said, it’s a weird glitch.

One can assume things are bugs when they are way outside the normal game experience. Would you assume gap closing onto walls or into keeps was intended because the game allowed you to?
Building the proc this way is clearly outside the normal game experience.

Just because it's new though, I totally agree the out of combat building if stacks is a bug, said that for the beginning. But to call just the normal use of it in combat and build stacks a bug is a bit premature. Zos totally could have intended this. The point I have been trying to explain to that guy is we don't know if it's a bug just because the tool tip says "attack". As you stated, tool tips are misleading, and inconclusive.
