Buff for Absorb Missile skill

Hi,
Here is just a quick thread about the Absorb Missile skill that I never see used. Since its main feature is to heal when you absorb a projectile, a good way to make it viable would be to make it so it also heal you for the damage the shield absorb.
That way, classes like templar would have a substitute to a HP based burst heal. It would also make it viable in PVP. And since damage shield doesn't mitigate damage through block and it cost stamina (you can't spam it like Honor of the dead or Resiliente flesh while blocking or you will burn all your stamina in 3 seconds), I don't see any issue buffing this skill like this.
It could also became a shield based on weapon and spell damage since the skill line now provide some DPS options. That would be a good option for classes that don't have burst heal like stamsorc.
What do you think of this ?

Thecompton73✭✭✭✭✭So you basically want a version of last patches pre-nerf "Living Dark" ability to be available to everyone as a weapon based skill? Good luck with that.0 -

How a 5k heal + a 5k shield come close to the previous living dark iteration ?0 -
Maxdevil✭✭✭The morph is just not really good, it’s other morph defensive stance is actually a interesting skill with sword and board asylum to trade stam for magicka tho."Maxdevil knows much, and tells some. Maxdevil knows many things others do not."

Foxtrot39✭✭✭✭Thing is
Defensive stance decrease block cost and increase block mitgation by 10% (actually tool tip for blocking mitigation is twice what you really get) and negate 100% of the reflected projectile
Absorb missile heals you when hit by a projectile but it doesn't negate it damage or give any passive bonus whatsoever
So sending an attack back to sender without loosing any of your damage shield hp while buffing block > healing while still taking full damage
tbh its a no brainer, if absorb missile had lowered cost and also fully negated the ranged attack damage it would be a sidegrade at leastEdited by Foxtrot39 on June 20, 2022 11:22PM0
