Is it me or? *Topic on Cleric's Group / Alliance Healing Skills*

I realised 2 of cleric supporting skills aren't working correctly at times, but i am not sure whether it's just me or do other clerics out there faced the some issue as i did.

The 2 skills i am referring to are "Purifying Wave VI" and "Yustiel's Spledour II"




According to the description, "Purifying Wave VI" removes 3 altered stats on you and up to 6 allies within 20m radius of you, and also recovers HP by 4,671. From my understanding, this skill's priority is to target first the caster (which is you), follow by your groupmates and alliance. However, this skill sometimes prioritise the skill effects (remove altered stats and heals) on other players around you (players from the same fraction) instead of you yourself (the caster) as well as your groupmates / alliance.

Same goes for "Yustiel's Spledour II".

Is there anyone out there who plays in retail server, or anyone familiar with clerics to check and comment on this issue before i log it in the bug report section? With much thanks!

 

Sometimes Group members are behind an obstacle, too far away, full hp and no altered states. That makes the skill work on other players that is around.

That happens commonly when a group member is behind an obstacle. Maybe that's the issue o.o

(don't Blame me if im not correct... I don't play cleric.... but got many friends that do and i know how every skill works...)

 

and sometimes it just hates you and wont work for no good reason.

 

As i mentioned earlier, the skill's priority is to target the CASTER first, follow by group mates and alliance, thus your explanation will be invalid as you can't heal yourself behind an obstacle? Like? Something none existence?

 

Im referred about group or alliance members. I never played cleric to know if it heals yourself or what. Just talking why it doesn't heal your group or ally members

 

The concern is to ensure that both skills mention earlier are working correctly. However i don't think that's the case thus i need someone who actually plays cleric on retail / long time player to confirm this.

Anyways thanks for your explanation earlier, it's logical but still irrelevant to this issue. Perhaps you misunderstood my concern from the way i phrase it.

Bumps! ~ need someone to check on this! Thanks.

 

You should ask the AM. We commoners can't do shit.

 

Any AM or clerics out there to confirm this? *wonders*

 

Yeah i noticed that the further a group member is in distance from you, the greater the chance it is for the aoe heal not to include you,and instead heal the people in the group member's immediate vicinity. Idk if it works like that on retail. Noticed it with the Ripple of Purification skill.

 

It seems that there's no AM / bug testers / clerics around to confirm this, except endeavor and me regarding issue?

 

As the skills says it it works as fine as on retail (with exception of a few geodata mistakes [y axe]).. It says Allies, not group members.. The skills will prioritize the fact of healing the caster (yourself) followed by the closest members of your faction to your actual position. Im not playing cleric on retail (assassin all the way) but i've encoutered the fact many times that these 2 skills sometimes healed said randoms which where closer to our cleric than ourself,

example: 6 man party including cleric

cleric position xyz
assassin 18m away(groupmember) get the heal
templar 19m away (groupmember) doesnt get the heal due to 1 random ranger closer to your cleric
chanter 15m away (groupmember get the heal
spiritmaster 7m away (groupmember) get the heal
gladiator 17m away (groupmember) get the heal
ranger 9m away (random) get the heal due to standing closer to your cleric than the group templar


i've always experienced this skill as this on retail and sometimes its a pain in the a** but oh well, its a powerfull heal/dispel afterall

 

So this skill should prioritize the caster right? Hmmm okies i will try and test a few times on that, because i had faced issues with this at times, Both skills not healing me myself (the caster) and healing others (random people around) instead.

Nevertheless, thanks for the reply!

 

You're welcome.

Well i play a cleric aswell since i wanted to do something else than kill xD pretty fun but till now these 2 mentionned skills always healed me tho.

Anyway i'll close the thread, if you got any questions/issues regarding it, lemme know it via PM.
