OP'd?

We didn't exactly have great healing to start with. Have you actually looked at how much healing that docs, MA's, fixers, etc have gotten compared to us?

Well, on BS I have a 1378 Heal every 40 secs, and stims. That's about it. Morti is pretty much UBTed/snared/rooted/calmed all the time, and I'm in recharge pretty much all the time, so no remover nano (not that you can remove UBT anyhow).

I fought an NR2 agent FPing doc, Morti with +600NR buff can't resist an UBT from him (with -740 nanoskills...). Always landed first try...

Which ties in with exactly what I said.

As far as PvP goes, my healpet is acting at 50% effectiveness anyways 90+% of the time (UBT alone brings it to almost 50% effectiveness). Add in all the roots, snares, mezzes, charms, calms, init debuffs, heal% debuffs, etc etc etc etc, and the effectiveness of the healpet quickly approaches zero.

So lets see now. A 200% increase of zero is......carry the one.....add in the factorial.....calculate the prime....

Gee. Zero.

Fact is that doubling the healing of Morty (or even a new pet) won't make a lick of difference in PvP. For PvM it basically resets us back to where we were pre-AI.

Trust me Ebag, I'm not the one you need to convince. Gogogo

I wouldn't mind seeing a biger heal out of morti or some more NR bumped into it.

Aside of that, it's been proposed before, but making our healpet cast a hot instead of a heal would already take away 90% of our healpet problem.
UBT is less effective and we'd still get healed whilst running.

EDIT: ohh, give it a doc-heal-hot, so we get a max hp buff on top of things too.

..I'm dreaming again..

Reminds me that I'd had an idea of reworking the 1hb shields that nobody used and had an idea to have the Gold Shield line proc a Short HoT with enough reliability on strike that it could considered to be reliably up. Considering that Parry doesn't work and it doesn't have any sort of AAD like the Red Shield line it would strike me as reasonable, but that's not answering the problem of the non-working healpet in pvp situation.
