Mend Wounds Buff

It's a very interesting but underwhelming ability. It basically makes your light and heavy attacks heal instead of deal, but this comes at the enormous cost of reducing your LA/HA damage output to zero, as well as none of your LA/HA-related buffs and set procs triggering because of that.
I propose the simple solution of changing certain proc conditions from "on light attack damage" to "on light attack" so that this ability can benefit from them as you normally would.
There are several sets that could complement this ability as a healer but don't because it doesn't deal damage, such as:
Belharza's Band, Blood Moon, Essence Thief, Grave Inevitability, Grisly Gourmet, Hist Whisperer, Kinras' Wrath, Mantle of Siroria, Molag Kena, Queen's Elegance, Shalidor's Curse, Spell Strategist.

    A good idea. But I think it'd have to be contingent on the light attack "hitting" still, whether it's a heal or not. Wouldn't want people to be pre-buffing those sets you mentioned by light attacking the air.

    what im curious about, is how does the velothi mythic interact with this skill, the velothi mythic already makes your light and heavy attack dmg basically negligible anyway, so if you could toggle this on to make your light and heavy attacks actually do something useful could be a decent alternative

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    You can still heal using the set with the Velothi on the PTS.

    However, keep in mind that the light attacks and heavy attacks with Mend Wounds active also do not build ultimate.

    To make mend wounds interesting it has to be able to trigger proc upon hitting wit han LA/HA and still give the hidden ult gen buff

    Can be usefull used with the alliance shield tether since it has a morph healing both you and the target it coudl be used to assist the tank with a nice 30% mitigation
