Interesting. Of those, only Combat Prayer is going to work for creating the tether - the rest in that list are HoTs (heals over time), not direct heals. Could you test just by using that to ensure you’re hitting them? (Also, I assume they’re not in Ring of the Pale Order.)

The other thing I’d wonder is if your friend has “show additional ally effects” turned on or off. The game might consider the tether unnecessary for the target to see, and that option allows people to cut down on the extraneous visuals so they can keep their screens cleaner and possibly get better performance.

I just tested it on a friend and no tether. So I can`t tell if it is not showing or broken so I`ll leave it to the Devs to look at.

@ZOS_Bill can you take a look at this, thanks.

What I was trying to build is alot of secondary healing and direct heals. Using the Ritemaster to build a tether from the tank to me then use the Necrmancer tether from a corpse. I hit the tank then repeated over and over on the DPS because of course I had to keep them alive. I never saw a tether but I never considered the ring of Pale order. I`ll try on some of my friends to see if the effects work or not.

If you're not seeing the tether with a tank, that's not going to be Pale Order. Most dps also won't run it in group content - I was mentioning it in case there was just one dps you were seeing the issue with.

Since the only direct heal skill you have in that setup is Combat Prayer, you would need to create the tether using that - or by the splash heal from the last tick of a resto heavy. Combat Prayer is a great healing spammable, but that's in large part due to the fact that it's an AoE. If multiple players are under 100% health when Combat Prayer hits them, the game will choose one of them to put the tether on. To ensure the tether is placed on the tank, that player would have to be the only one under 100% health when your Combat Prayer hits them. And the splash heal from the heavy chooses one person apparently at random, so that's probably even more unreliable. Either way, it will be a bit tricky to proc exactly when and on whom you want in a consistent manner.

I have also been testing this out in and out of combat, in dungeons, at volcanic vents, and have not been able to consistently proc it. It just randomly works some times.
Using it on an arcanist, with combat prayer, runemend, also tested various Hots just in case.

Like I said it has procced seemingly at random, from combat prayer on full health people not in combat, but same situation in combat, not at full health it hasn't.
I've been in range and tried all sorts of combinations. Ive seen it proc maybe half a dozen times, with no real predictable pattern. How is this set supposed to work?

Is this another failed set that will just get ignored because none of it really matters outside the meta. Part of my frustration with the game is how few fun sets remain, and poor performing ones just get neglected.
