So I’m in downed state and kill someone while in down state putting them in down state. I’m damaging them down to about 30% while I’m at 10% and decide to hit vapor form to cancel some of the damage. My target heals up to 75%???, and I’m right back at that 10%.

What just happened?

How does someone else get a free massive heal in down state when I use vapor form?

they probably just saw you go into vapor form and then started healing themselves with 4

and if it was a guardian they could’ve dropped their 3 which is also a heal

Ranger pets heal for a pretty ridiculous amount. I’ve seen them outheal two people attacking the downed ranger.

it must have been lick wounds? it’s buggy and only works sometimes. On land it can not out-heal even the lowest dps classes, it’s much weaker than revive rate of another plater, but underwater for some reason it can outheal multiple people if they have low dps.

could have been regen from a fern hound too i think? but weird that you percieved it to be a sudden “jump” in health.

It wasn’t underwater and he had a bear out.

It’s as if the game told the player he was out of combat when I vapor formed, allowing him to heal 50% until vapor form wore off. At least, that’s how it looked on my screen while I was staring right at him spamming 1 waiting for vapor form to end. It was ridiculous.

i was talking about regular people attacking you whilst downed, not downed vs downed – as was caffynated as far as i can tell, he gave no indication to the contrary

It was his pet. the pet can heal for a large amount so you can easily miss it. The reason Rangers can take a beating underwater is because everyone heals at a super fast rate on the surface, and when you factor in the pet healing at the same time it’s often too much for non-bursty classes to handle.

No bugs from what I can tell.

It was downed vs downed.

The very first line was "So I’m in downed state and kill someone while in down state ". Clearly we were both downed. He healed for 50% in downed state. They removed the healing of vapor form in the last patch, so I was defeated because I used it.

The only thing vapor form does is help you try and LoS so someone else can rez you, or you rez yourself. You can’t finish anyone off anymore. I dislike our downstate.

I recently bought a named set of gear so I can hope to heal like a boss now.
