[edit] Life Infusion Issue -- 03:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Issue: Doesn't heal enough (96 on 14 Healing attribute ranks) to be worth the energy compared to Word of Healing; slow cast time for an elite heal

Suggestion: increase heal from 40...88...100 to 30...102...120 (to increase reward for the 1 cast time risk)

Issue: Basically this skill is an alternative to WoH's single target pressure healing. However it currently isn't viable, simply because it isn't good enough :at pushing the bars upwards. Not to mention that this skill's useability is dependant on teambuild, where WoH is dependant on amount of health.

Suggestion: Increase energy gained to 1..4, decrease recharge to 3 seconds, Hexes trigger energy gain too.; Consider it an elite version of Dwayna's Kiss.

Changed functionality: "Target ally is healed for 40...100. If target ally is enchanted you gain 2 energy and target ally loses 0..3 Conditions."

Sort of a combination of Restore Condition and Word. A decent heal with the ability to take down (small) condition stacks, assuming the target is

enchanted.

Issue: Healing Negligible compared to other healing prayers spells, Energy management not worth wasting an elite slot on it.
Suggestion: Increase heal from 40...88...100 to 30...102...120 or make it a "nearby" range, gaining 2 energy for each ally healed with an enchantment. Alternatively, put in a hex or condition removal effect, such as : Remove 1 hex from target ally. If target ally is enchanted, that ally is healed for 40...88...100 and loses 1 condition. For each hex or condition removed, you gain 2 energy. Increase recharge to 8 seconds?

Suggestion: (5e / 1c / 4r); Elite Spell. Heal for 40...100...115 Health. If ally is Enchantment or Hex, heal an additional 20...50...57 and gain 5 energy.

Suggestion: Increase healing to 30...114...138, decrease cast to 3/4s. Add "Healing from this ignores all healing reductions". This would make it actually useful against deep wound.
