So, you may or may not be familiar with this heal and the previous threads I have made about how bugged it was since 8 months ago, but some things were fixed while other things are now… stranger. I was going to update the patch notes thread but this (kind of) deserves its own.
A run-down of how it performs as of this writing:
Passive on-hit heal scales with player’s healing power that activates it. Meaning if your allies have 0 healing power, they receive the base 805 heal – this includes the Pet.
Passive on-hit heal scaling for the player (source) is 0.125 but for allies (non-source) the scaling is the old 0.09 coefficient.
Passive on-hit heal scaling does not benefit from any outgoing heal % modifiers.
Passive on-hit heals activated by others do not contribute to Astral Force generation, nor does it activate Live Vicariously or Natural Mender minor traits.
Regeneration from Nature’s Vengeance scales with the player’s boon duration and healing power, and is affected by outgoing heal % modifiers.
Tooltip is still busted for the Passive on-hit heal and does not update.
Active initial self-heal is not affected by outgoing heal % modifiers for the player, but will apply to our Pet.
Active Water Spirit heal is affected by the player’s healing power and outgoing heal % modifiers and will be applied to the player if they were to receive the heal.
In short, if the passive on-hit activated by allies scaled with the highest healing power between you or them (like it used to before it was broken); activated Natural Mender, Live Vicariously, and contributed to generating Astral Force; then it would be decent rather than a niche.
As of now, it’s better than the bugged state it was in for the last 8 months, and still requires Nature’s Vengeance to have an effective presence.
