Guild Wars 2

Always loved the concept of the skill but got frustrated by sheer math coeficients making it useless. How is it now? Do one needs to trait/equip healing power for it to be useful? Mind you the cone requirement never was something to throw me off. Have you been usíng it since the recent buff.

The ally base heal has seemingly been increased by about 93% and the HP coefficient is now 0.4 instead of 0.2 ( the self heal remains 0.2 )

With 1000HP:

Self: 7525
Ally: 5325

With 0 HP:

Self: 6525
Ally: 3325

That has to be a display issue or something is wrong. They clearly said in the patch notes that they doubled the ammount it healed allies for. Those numbers you are listing look like the old numbers. The numbered Tarsius posted are what they should look like if they doubled the base ammount and increased the hp coefficient.

Tooltip display is wrong, Tarsius is right.

If that’s the case, talk about epic fail with implementing changes but not changing the tooltip.

EDIT: Double checked the patch notes.

Healing Breeze: Doubled the base heal when healing allies. Scaling from healing power has been increased from 20% to 40% when healing allies.

How does this make even any sense?

Does this mean the base heal is 3450 + (0.40 * Healing power) ?

Yes, I believe so. With 1500+ hp my healing breeze was healing for around 1200-1400 per tick I believe. I think it ticks 5 times, so when I match that with the numbers Tarsius provided, its very close.

Its a good buff btw, but healing breeze will still be unused due to the nature of how guardian plays.

For what it’s worth, I tested my figures in the Mists with 0 and 100 HP just after the patch was released ( That’s why I know the base healing increase isn’t 100%, but oddly 93% at level 80 – perhaps that’s down to scaling ). It’s always possible sPvP numbers are different from PvE/WvW however, and there has been a trend of stealth changes lately in subsequent builds.

But generally, never trust a tooltip

The tooltip is definitely wrong, don’t worry. It is in fact a very sizeable group heal now, provided you hit on every tick. You don’t need to stack HP for it to be useful, but it’s a far bigger reason to go that route if that’s what you want.

It’s still a garbage skill, just use resolve

Yeah, I have to agree, Healing Breeze blows.

Ay, it could have turned into something wonderful, but the dev made the same mistake as always. They need to start consider where and what they want guard to do.

Currently all but scepter and staff is melee and even the staff is questionable as ranged. All other attacks will most likely put you infront of the allies you have, no mather what situation.

The buff to team healing was really nice however, it could still need a Healing power scale boost but most important, make it aoe around us.
