Guild Wars 2

After putting together a healing set for my ele today, I decided to test the numbers.

Without Soothing Power trait active, it healed for 190/tick. With the trait, it was 382/tick.

However, the tooltip shows 3,568 heal/10 sec, with interval of 3 sec. Since the 190 and 382 ticks popped up far faster than once every three seconds, I’m assuming the 3sec interval is the application of the Soothing Mist buff.

At a wild guess, the tick speed was around 1 second. I’m left wondering what exactly the Soothing Mist and Soothing Power traits do. It seems something is very wrong with the Soothing and it’s not healing as much as it is supposed to.

190/sec certainly won’t reach the tooltip value of 3568 within 10 seconds.

Am I missing something? Figured I’d post this here first to see if you all know something I don’t. Thanks!

It’s a 10 sec buff that ticks once per second, and the GM trait doubles its power. It heals for 80+0.1*healing power (or 160+0.2*healing power with the GM trait)

While attuned to water, it is reapplied every 3 seconds, (but reapplication interferes with the 3rd tick of healing, causing it to heal for less than it should)

This was all true 1 month ago. I have not tested since, but there also have not been any documented changes since.

Kinda sick of the bugs with our GMs.

Took them so long to fix Lightning Rod. Written in Stone and now Soothing Mist are still bugged.

Elemental Enchantment is also bugged with the Overload Recharge not working properly on swap.

And we’re still hoping to see Tempest Defense working on other CC than Stun an Knockdowns (and Dazes).

It appears the bug has been fixed. The Soothing Mist tooltip now adjusts to properly show the heal value depending on whether or not you have the trait.

Unfortunately, the thing is still awful. 3400 healing/10 sec with the GM trait, 1700 without it. The value has actually gone down a couple hundred as well from the last time I checked.
