Jonfendm Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 We were in a TC HM today, I was on my Gunslinger with an Arkanian Relic of Serendipitous Assault. The tool tip for this relic says that healing an ally or attacking an enemy procs the power boost. I dont know if this is a bug or not, so I thought I would drop it here.... As the tanks were positioning their isotope 5 barrels, I was in cover, just sitting there. The passive heal in my cover (which is a self heal, not an ally heal) was proccing my relic. This seems to not be the way it is intended to work. It also doesnt seem like a big deal. The only foreseeable problem with this would be someone who was just sitting in cover waiting for the fight to start, the relic could proc 5 or 6 seconds before the fight, and lock him out of a potential proc for 20 seconds. If the self heal is to be treated (for purposes of this relic) as an ally heal, then it is working as intended. Just thought Id share and see what devs say.

DarthSpekulatius Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 you do realize that that would be a nerf? also it works the same way as the Healing relic that's why there's one class in this game that has one spec for which it's actually useful.

Not in all instances. In fact, it could actually only be a buff for Slingers who get in cover and wait for a tank to pull. The passive heal begins immediately. It is quite possible that the buff will proc before the tank pulls and actually cost you a proc at the beginning of the fight. The only way it could conceivably be a nerf is if the tank is watching slingers, and only pulling the moment the relic procs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthSpekulatius Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 sure because only snipers have self heals and because every sniper waits in cover for the tank to pull in the full knowledge that that might cost him juicy power in the Inspiration window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancaglon Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Granted that the OP doesn't understand, but it certainly wouldn't be unheard-of to have Bioware nerf one of the classes most in need of help (Shadow/Assassin tanks) to buff one that is most over-powered (Sniper/Gunslinger).... Speaking of which, our Answers are now more than a week over-due... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
