#22842, "Healing curse change?"


          

Any chance of having healing curse wake you like sigil of pain? Sleep, forget, scourge, poison, healing curse, and the sigil kind of sucked.

I think this makes a certain amount of sense, and would help even out how the Empire leader powers balance out for different classes a bit better.

I'll talk it over with the powers that be.

The power would balance better if it was just -regen to hp in my opinion. Looking back I can't think of a single time where I would have lived while healing cursed. This wouldn't occur when other classes have the ability, with a necromancer though it borders overpowered.

But right now isn't it pretty much a commune?

Especially for classes with some kind of heal ability.

It feels to me as if you are only considering healing curse in the hands of a necro / ap, at which point you're talking the Emperor. But healing curse is a divine sect power, and doesn't really make them into a totally lethal force.

I mean, healing curse goes to a shaman or a healer too!

To me, the first suggestion was the more appropriate. Make it have a risk of waking someone.

I have to agree. Screw forget and sigil. Sleep + scourge + poison + healing curse is enough to do most people in, assuming one remains slept for the majority of the sleep duration. Even worse if the sleep-er decides to plague you via talisman.

What's the duration on healing curse at hero? 5-6 hours? How many people can eat 5-6 ticks of scourge/poison/plague when they start from approximately 50% health?

Of course, making healing curse wake slept people won't fix this as long as there's a way to get it to land 100% of the time. Which, if my information is correct, there is. So you'd get woken up by it, but die anyway.

Is healing curse hard to land? I always seem to have it land on me despite good saves. Success rates higher/lower?

Also healing curse on regeneration forms is nasty.

Maran leaders get heavy weapons.

Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torment of man.

But I guess on the other hand you have the fact that the people with healing curse tend to be relatively durable so their fights are often long ones.

If that's true, I'd like to know how.
