Guild Wars 2

My guardian is now level 70 and has 314 healing power. My Virtue of Resolve tooltip states that it heals me for 93, but it heals me for 97… Kind of weird, but just 4 points more, so no big deal. Then I chose ‘Absolute Resolution’ as trait, which increases the passive heal of this virtue. Now the tooltip says 225, but in reality, it only heals me for 136… What’s the deal with that? Anyone else noticed a different heal amount from their virtue?

edit: tested in the mists: Healing without the trait says 126 and heals 126… with the trait it says 285, but only heals 157… In pve, the numbers are even off without the trait…

Do you have some kind of +healing mod on any of your runes? Usually that isn’t reflected in stats. It also does scale with +healing, but I believe that should be reflected in tooltips.

No, I actually do not have any +healing on any of my runes, not in pve that is. In the mists, I just have the standard guardian rune with a total of +50 healing. But that doesn’t explain the downwards difference… It only heals about the half of what it says it does…

The lower numbers seem correct. According to the Wiki, the Trait applies a flat 25% bonus to VoR. The sPVP number is exactly 1.25 times the number without the Trait. The main problem lies definitely in faulty tooltips here. But your PVE numbers are definitely interacting with either an item or a Trait you have. Your numbers with Absolute Resolution are 1.4 times the numbers without. While nice that just can’t be right.

I’ve done some testing and these are my results (all guardians have different (or no) runes, but all exotic gear):

PvE, with all level 80 characters:

Guardian1: 300 healing power
with trait: tooltip says 261, actually heals self for 134 and party members for 107
without trait: tooltip says 102, actually heals self and party members for 107

Guardian2: 529 healing power
with trait: tooltip says 275, actually heals self for 152 and party members for 122
without trait: tooltip says 116, actually heals self and party members for 122

Guardian3: 706 healing power
with trait: tooltip says 285, actually heals self for 166 and party members for 132
without trait: tooltip says 126, actually heals self and party members for 132

Guardian4: 806 healing power
with trait: tooltip says 291, actually heals self for 173 and party members for 139
without trait: tooltip says 132, actually heals self and party members for 139

Guardian5: 1230 healing power
with trait: tooltip says 317, actually heals self for 207 and party members for 166
without trait: tooltip says 158, actually heals self and party members for 166

In the mists (PvP):

Guardian1: 300 healing power
with trait: tooltip says 261, actually heals self for 128 and party members for 102
without trait: tooltip says 102 and it does actually heal self and party members for 102

Guardian2: 465 healing power
with trait: tooltip says 271, actually heals self for 140 and party members for 112
without trait: tooltip says 112 and it does actually heal self and party members for 112

1. The tooltip displays a ridiculously high number with the trait enabled. Should display a number 25% higher than without the trait (see wiki).

2. In the mists, the tooltip without the trait displays the correct number that this virtue actually heals. In PvE, even without the trait, the tooltip (or the healing done) is incorrect.

3. Party members don’t actually benefit from the trait, they still receive the same healing the guardian got without the trait, even though its enabled and the guardian gets higher healing.

In PvE, your server probably has some points from WvW that increased healing effectiveness.

Power of the Mists

Power of the Mists

This sounds very likely to me. However, it makes me wonder if Power of the Mists is not working during PvP. Can you clarify what sort of PvP you were referring to? If it didn’t increase the healing in the Mists that sounds like it might be a bug.

WvWvW server that give you a healing bonus.

Guardian5: 1230 healing power
with trait: tooltip says 317, actually heals self for 207 and party members for 166
without trait: tooltip says 158, actually heals self and party members for 166

WAT?

My healing power is 1417 and my virtue of resolve tooltip healing is only 169.

How do you “trait” virtues?

How do you “trait” virtues?

Our bottom trait line is for improving Virtues. It’s called “Virtues”. The master-level trait Absolute Resolution directly boosts the passive heal to the Guardian from Virtue of Resolve.
