Self healing - Scaling

eMKa8 · March 12

Hi all , i am having a lot of trouble understanding how healing actually scales in pvp …

I only play BG , so not sure if self healing and the scaling around it differs in IC or cyradil.

I just tested resolving vigor in pvp and the tooltip says : 19K healing over 5 seconds.
But when i look closely when using it , it only heals me for 1640 for 6 ticks. (Which is only around half of the tooltip )

Is Elf healing halved in pvp BG?

Same for the new buffed hardened ward which gives you 15% heal burst (depending on magicka).
Tooltip in pvp bg says 8500 , however i noecer healed for more than 4000 i had the impression.

Please help as i really want to understand how it works exactly in terms of scaling.

Ps : i know shields are halved in pvp , however this also shows in the tooltip when in pvp. For healing the tooltip doesnt change though , however the heal is definitely not close to tooltip (in pvp)

Thanks

I have not tested this in ESO but I expect it works the same way it works in many MMORPGs. A DoT or Hot that lasts X seconds has X+1 ticks. It ticks first then it ticks again after each second. That would lead to a 5-second HoT ticking 6 times. It ticks, then ticks again after each of the 5 seconds.

I stopped theory-crafting and breaking down how a game works well before I came to ESO so I have not paid enough attention to this.

I do not know if the tooltip you are reading is with Battle Spirit or not. 1640 over 6 ticks is 9,840. Double that and it is 19,680. Pretty sure Battle Spirit is the same in each PvP area though most of my ESO PvP experience is in AvA. I suggest checking to make sure the tooltip reads the same in a BG as it does in Cyrodiil. If it does you can easily check tooltips and such by just entering a campaign.

Healing, damage, and shields are halved while battle spirit is active. Damage and healing doesn’t show up on the tool tip though

Ok thanks a lot !

Is healing of critical surge also halved ?
And is health generation always halved in pvp?

It seems correct that tooltip of dmg and health indeed does not half … thanks a lot though to answer

if battle spirit is active, the healing is always halved (technically i think its -55%, or slightly over half), and health recovery is reduced by the same amount

battle spirit is applied in all pvp situations: cyro, IC, BGs, dueling

Oh ok 55% , thanks !

That says a lot

So if i have dark deal and it would heal me for 8000 , than actually it only heals me for around 3900 ?

Thank you

you get half "healing received". The abilities themselves don't change. Only shield strength is shown as half in tooltip.
