I just noticed the touch of life was healing for full value on trash, then 1/4 value on a boss. Do named mobs have an ability to bypass or neutralize a percentage of damage reduction abilities?

boli

Touch of life's heal can be reduced if you are at or close to 100% health so it can be hard to track. That could be as simple as you reciving more wards/reactives on the named than on the trash.

So if you are fully warded and the hit doens;t break past 100% health for you... you will only gain the 10% damage reduction and nothing of the heal.

Enrico

That's a good point, but that explanation wouldn't account for the same non-zero percentage on every hit, on the switchmaster. Does he have an ability which reduces healing received?

boli

No, and the none zero can also be explained in the same manner.

> 20,000 health pally with 6,000 worth of wards up.
> Hit for 7k
> This amount is reduced to 6.3k
> Wards absorb 6k worth of that
> Paladin is hit for 300 damage
> Touch of Life heals for 630. Only 300 is registered.

Touch of Life will not heal 10% damage all time if there is nohing to heal due to wards.. I'm pretty sure it comes after a cleric reactive heal as well, tho I have not tested it.

nice post boli.

Enrico

Boli, that's incorrect. Touch of life heals damage done, so the reduction by a rune would not apply. It still heals 10% of what gets through, verfied in my logs. Except against switchmaster for a few short times when I was tanking him directly while MT was yellow, in which case it heals 2.5%.

Multiple hits at exactly one quarter the expected healing cannot be explained by any method which would produce numbers all over the place. Switchmaster's ae's were still healed for 10%. It would have to be one of his abilities, or one gained by killing the void guards to trigger him.

Enrico

Healing received on switchmaster was reduced by half this time -- at least for my touch of life.
