A previous topic prompted me to do some research on Healing Breeze and synergies with it.

In that topic it was noted that Healing Breeze combined with Healer’s Retribution would proc multiple boons of retaliation for each tick of Healing Breeze.

Unsure if this was a bug or intended mechanic I went and checked other on heal mechanics with Healing Breeze.

In short, Healer’s Retribution is the only one that functions this way with Healing Breeze.

I did take not that

  • Rune of Lyssa (4) – This did not seem to provide a “random boon” on heal. When switching to shelter the rune appeared to work.
  • Rune of Monk/Water (6) – Both of these did not appear to tick for an extra “small heal” as noted in the description. Switching to shelter and signet of resolve also did not appear to prompt an additional small heal.

All the mechanics for On Heal runes happen at end of the healing cast. This would explain why Rune of Lyssa did not seem to function correctly and why Healer’s Retribution may act the way it does.

Healing Breeze’s code may not have the same “end cast” prompt in it, since it is a channeled multi-tick spell.

The runes of monk and water are apparently bugged in of their own, so unless someone can prove they are working as intended, it is pointless to ever get 6 of 6 of those runes…not withstanding the argument that 6 of 6 is pointless anyway :p

So bug report away and maybe these things will get fixed!

I’ve not really tested any of the On Heal effects, but I do remember they added a bunch of 10 second ICDs to them to prevent Healing Breeze ticks from firing the effects multiple times.

This would suggest that they should fire only on the first tick and not the last. I’ll see if I can do some testing, and add a note in the bug thread if my findings match yours.

I think Healer’s Retribution is probably something they just missed, and they would probably slap an ICD on it too if they didn’t have much bigger fish to fry.

Oh nice, didn’t notice the updated bug thread for 2013.

Thanks for updating it!

According to the tooltips of runes in the Mists:

Rune of the Water: 10 second ICD for Rune#6 AoE heal
Rune of Dwayna: 10 sec ICD for #6 Regeneration
Rune of Lyssa: 10 sec ICD for #4 random boon
Rune of Grenth: 10 sec ICD for #6 AoE chill
Rune of Balthazaar: 10 sec ICD for #6 AoE burn
Rune of Centuar: 10 sec ICD for #6 AoE swiftness
Rune of Air: 10 sec ICD for #4 swiftness
Rune of the Fighter: 10 sec ICD for #6 might

In the Mist I quickly tried 6 runes of lyssa and I did proc a random boon at the end of healing breeze. This might not be the same in PvE, but I haven’t got time to test that right now.

I’ll try other runes and other zones this evening if I have time

As you noted earlier, Healer’s Retribution gave me about 22 seconds of retaliation when using Healing Breeze.

Try Lyssa with Healing Breeze AND Healer’s Retribution traited.

I was not sure if I was not getting a random boon, or if it was just so happening to be retaliation the 5 times I tried it.

It is possible that with Healer’s Retribution itself is using up the ICD on other effect, which is why I was not seeing them.

Intended or not, it seems self defeatist and I would like it if it didn’t interact that way.

I’m sure I saw both proc, so perhaps you were just really unlucky.
Will do further testing this evening

I know a couple of months ago rune of water was working fine because I had it on my thief with the roll heal. I haven’t played him for awhile but I assume it still works the same.
