Quick question about Theft of Life

[GnekroeGnomicon]

What are the percentages when maxed for crit heals?

[Carlon]

do you mean the percentage that you are granted an exceptional heal per rank?

Rank1 @ 2%
Rank2 @ 3% (total 5%)
Rank3 @ 4% (total 9%)
Rank4 @ 2% (total 11%)
Rank5 @ 2% (total 13%)
Rank6 @ 2% (total 15%)
Rank7 @ 2% (total 17%)
Rank8 @ 2% (total 19%)
Rank9 @ 2% (total 21%)
Rank10 @ 2% (total 23%)
Rank11 @ 2% (total 25%)
Rank12 @ 2% (total 27%)
Rank13 @ 2% (total 29%)
Rank14 @ 2% (total 31%)

Ah perfect. I didn't think to look in the spreadsheet.

Theft of Life also affects pet heals and now orbs again correct?

I could understand orbs, but why would it affect pet heals?

I do think it should affect our Lifeflow line...

[regafrega]

Because it is a heal.

[encephalitis]

Theft of life is for lifetaps, which are only a specific type of heal. Our pet heal is not a lifetap.

[GnekroeGnomicon]

I have crit multiple pet heals in the last couple of days. I would assume that is Theft of Life working on my pet heals (only thing that makes sense).

With maxxed ToL and a good healing focus, I imagine we could actually pet tank pretty decently.

[encephalitis]

Cool that it does. I guess ToL (despite its description) isn't just for lifetaps.

[Carlon]

is it possible that the way it affects pet heals is a bug?


theft of life blatantly sounds like it modifies spells that involve stealing life, aka our tap spells

[regafrega]

It has always worked on my pet heals. Even on Mend Companion. I get 10k heals some times on my pet.

[Lashden]

It might be but it's worked that way for a long time. It also effects our pet heal aa too.

It's most likely because our lifetaps are just a nuke that procs a heal if I understand correctly (that's how you can crit both). That's also why if you have a heal curse on you, the dd part of the lifetap will land full but the heal won't, because it is indeed a heal.

[Vanlor]

Yeah, always affected pet heals afaik. It stopped affecting orbs for a while and I haven't really used them very much since so that was really my question.

[Lashden]

Ah, last time I used orbs it was affecting them again I think. I remember seeing a dev post somewhere saying something to the effect of "I don't know why that was disabled." Of course that wasn't made by the same dev that originally disabled it.

I want to say that was back when they were messing with heals and clicks in general...maybe around the group ch nerf.
