Change to Wards from Test Notes?

Sioned · 05-17-2007, 12:56 PM

Spells:
* Group wards should now get the proper amount of normalized heal gain.

Anyone on test that knows the effects of this change?

Apparently the group ward will be split evenly between all group members instead of getting eaten completely by 1-2 people.

Normalized heal gain is upto healing as far as I know. Like I posted before instead of getting 75% effectiveness they are getting like 125%. I assume this means that they are correcting this mistake.

I would think they should get 100% since they are so slow casting? I can't recall what the normalized amount for heals is based on, 3 second cast maybe?

And don't even suggest an idea that bad, Lampolo! It might give the devs ideas.

In beta devs said that wards will receive 1/4th less from upto effects thats what I was referring to.

The group wards all pull damage from a common pool. When the +heal amount was factored in though it was thinking this is split among six people rather than adding the full amount to the group pool. So while you should have been getting say +24 to the ward it would add +4.

Nice! So it is an improvement. Yeah, the thing you were referring to Razieh was the whole wards are never wasted argument so they should receive less benefit than reactives / HOT's.

Hopefully this fix also clears up the display error on calculated ward amounts (expecially on group wards) vs real ward amount, which has been buggy for quite some time and led to a few debates.

Do +heal items add to the coercer's AA Manaward? It shows up in the combat window just like a heal ward does.

This is great, thanks Aeralik.
