I don't even think that's enough of an incentive.
3 seconds of major vitality isn't even long enough to affect the delayed heal of healing ward. And, on a destro/resto Sorc or Magblade, you don't have any other burst heal to leverage on that 3s window.
In the overall scope of these builds, you'll still get far more value from backbarring a Lich or vMA resto, imo. So we're stuck with the same options—they're just s**ttier now, with no real recompense.PC/NA — Daggerfall Covenant — BGs, Kaalgrontiid

You won't use Healing Ward anymore (that's their doing). You will use Ward Ally so both you and the other person gets the Ward and Major Vitality.
Not sure what the cooldown will be (if there is one) but I think the buff will be valuable.
On my Magblade, I can use Ward Ally and still get off two Healthy Offering burst heals before the Major Vitality expires.
On a Sorcerer, you can use the Twilight Matriarch in the same manner.
Also just putting it out there that you can use Jorvuld's Guidance and make the buff 4.2 seconds.0 -

Even if that's the motivation it' a bad change. Lets say in PvP your average heal from Swallow Soul is around 500. With the blackrose staff the only goes up to about 650 or so. And it CAN'T CRIT.
Frankly this change makes it so I don't want to buy the DLC because I liked the idea of that heal getting boosted from the effects. @ZOS_RobGarrettFlawless Conqueror ~ Grand OverlordShe/Her ~ PC/NA | I record things for fun and for info1 -

Yep. My response was to someone saying that NBs don't have a burst heal. There is one but it just can't be used on ourselves.
If you have at least 25k health though, you will benefit from Dark Cloak. That's about as much self burst as we are probably going to get.0 -

No point in asking.
Just play if you like the game still.

So they realised they did a massive design mistake again when making weapons, so the solution is to nerf.
I'm not suprised anymore, just find it funny
I would find it funny too, if we had't to actually pay real money for that.

dagonbeer✭✭✭So now that healing ward has no heal, if there's a player with lower health than you do, it'll keep going onto that player?3 -
lucky_dutch✭✭✭✭Yes, please don't forget about this ZOS. With stamina you have a strong on demand HoT (vigor) and burst heal (Rally) to get you out of execute range after a burst. With magicka you are reliant on your class heals.
Either that, or buff the other heals in the resto line.
Well put. Mag classes weren’t just reliant on healing ward because shield stacking was over-performing, they were reliant on it because it was their only access to an emergency heal.
My Magblade now has no instant heal, none. I can siphon some healing when light attacking and I have a HoT but it requires me to damage my target to work. If I’m on the defensive or between engagements I have no access to self heals.
Odd balancing choice.

Well the ward does heal. The small upfront heal was never part of the ward.1 -

✭✭How about reduce the heal IDC anymore just please don't give me another reason to quitFlawless Conqueror ~ Grand OverlordShe/Her ~ PC/NA | I record things for fun and for info1 -
lucky_dutch✭✭✭✭This change was supposedly so people couldn't instantly push themselves out of execute range with healing ward. However, it's a really nasty nerf to a lot of mag classes already limited self-heal options even not when in execute range. It also makes it impossible to get a healing ward up on yourself if a team mate is on lower health than you which is a major quality of life nerf.
The solution is obvious:
Have the initial heal not count towards the execute calculation until the healing ward depletes (6 sec). So you do receive that initial heal but it does not save you from enemies executing on your healing ward should you be below 25%.
Problem solved. You're welcome @ZOS_RobGarrett1 -

✭✭✭There was no problem. It was a good skill and the reason for many magicka players to carry a resto staff. But it seems ZOS don't like good skills. Or good games...3 -
snipnigthSoul ShrivenHello Im kinda new and dont understand much about this game yet.
I use Healing ward on a MagSorcTank, but the shield seems to be soo small and the heal as well even at low health i only get a very small shield, I dont understand it very well, this problem always seems to happen in Battleground but when Im playing in a dungeon it seems to give a much bigger shield when used in a low health target.
Does anyone know at what % does the 300% more shield capacity procs at?0 -

in pvp, everything gets halved, heals, damage and wards. you really ought not be using a ward on tank though, your stats will not support any decent size. healing wards scales with spell damage and max magic, the other wards you have access to only scale with max magic. you really need to have 30k+ max magic (and 2k+ spell damage in the case of healing ward) to have them worth using.Does anyone know at what % does the 300% more shield capacity procs at?
the ward scales linearly. meaning at 33% missing health, your ward is 100% larger, at 66% missing health, your ward is 200% larger, at 99% missing health, you get the full 300% multiplier.
