Patch 1.17.5 - Why Heal-lo There ;)

This is sort of the point though?

Spamming heal was a get-out-of-death-free card. We specifically designed this to be not spammable so as to encourage more skillful usage of it and diversify its usage between different kinds of builds. Some builds will be better suited by a combination of health potions and heal usage, others might only save health potions for a last resort or not even use them at all. People do the same thing with Double-Multihitsing, losing out on a significant portion of damage just to extend their hits, and let me just say that 3.5k heals? That's far from a small amount. That's almost as much as a Lv 95 potion in an instant.

 

*Java Intensifies*

 

So you're saying if the server is lagging (which it does quite often, I'm online on world 1 and it just dropped to ~8 tps) I should just "have skill" and solely depend on one 1-3k heal in a boss fight because you forced your opinion on healing? 3.5k heals is using a Statue and a King of Hearts. Any normal build gets around 1.5k.

 

What are archers supposed to do in said situations?
They take even more damage and don't have the heal spell.

 

If you're healing 1.5k, you either have 5k health and no water damage or 10k health with -50% water damage. On average, you should be healing around 3-3.5k and you'll be healing more than that with a water or tank build; with a full HP tank with some water damage, you can easily do 6k heals

 

The point is that a mage is not an archer, heal is a feature of mage not archer. Archers have speed and arrow shield, and yes Mage has teleport to de-aggro a boss but you have to get close enough to the mob to even cause blindness.

 

My point was to put mage into perspective of other classes.
Heal spell is still extremely useful, granted it could or could not use a minor buff as per this thread, but the general idea will stay.
Mage's heal was revamped so it couldn't be spammed anymore, which is exactly what wast majority of the mages were doing. That took no skill and made hard content extremely trivial. In terms of balance we couldn't just ignore that.

 

Now though, you have the issue that has been overlooked. The second and third pulse were left unused and no one ever noticed how bad the healing tick can actually be, or the fact that you can miss out on those 2 extra pulses. Even a 15% 10% 5% would be better than what it currently is, like someone else suggested.

 

Then please post that here:

and try to elaborate it further.
That seems to be a main mage discussion now, I really don't want to look all over the forums to collect feedback.
Thanks.

 

Pshh. Potions on mage. The nerf wasn’t bad enough for that

 

@jpresent I want to inform you that Corkus City Guards still are attackable: https://imgur.com/a/KhraU

 

Do you think we could get a fix on arrow storm doing negative knockback? (The mobs being pulled towards you)

 

I’m pretty sure that’s an intended feature

 

That is certainly... different.

 

Is it only certain mobs taking negative knockback? Because I know some mobs are supposed to get knocked towards you when hitting them.

 

I've noticed it in frozen heights and CSST a lot. I'm not so sure about other places.
