Guild Wars 2

as we all know, equipping the Kit Counts as using a Healing Skill. Recovery Matrix has no Cooldown and gives 5s of Protection.

Is this working as intended or an oversight by the Devs?

Pretty much every ‘on heal’ effect in the game has at least an internal cooldown of 10 seconds, and I’d say it’s pretty safe to say this trait will too. Also, it may function off of the toolbelt skill for Med Kit instead of the kit swap, as Heal Resonator and Cleansing Synergy in the Inventions line currently do.

Since the spec patch, opening Med Kit does not provide on heal effects, and bandage does not count as a tool belt ability, but the healing ability. It’s gated.

Medkit still proc on heal runes, but they have an internal cooldown anyway.

There shouldn’t be an ICD for Recovery matrix. Just make bandage triggering this trait to prevent exploit with med kit. Without ICD we would be able to have nice protection uptime with healing turret and medic gyro.

Not to forget that AMR can proc it without hitting an invisible cooldown.
