Talk:Spike heal

Requesting to convert this page into a page documenting spike heals and the infuser role

Greetings everyone. I would like to create a page describing spike healing skills in a similar manner to the pages describing spot heals and party heals.

The current version of this page is merely a redirect to the spike page, which only briefly describes one aspect of spike healing.

Now, I notice that there exists a page that describes the role of the Infuser. I believe that page is a bit limited as it only describes one aspect of spike healing and pertains mostly to PvP due to the skill Infuse Health being prevalent in GvG and HA.

I would like to expand upon the concept of spike healing and also describe usage of other skills that can serve as spike heals, such as Spirit Transfer and Imbue Health.

I would then like to combine the contents of the current Infuser page into the new format of the Spike Heal page, that way we have a page which describes the general concept of Spike Heals, skills that may serve as one, and a glimpse into the prominent Infuser role in PvP.

I would also be glad to create a demonstration of how I intend this rework to look by first making a user page with the changes. Please give me some feedback regarding this idea. Thank you. Soldier198 (talk) 01:27, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. In PvE, while the E/Mo uses Infuse as a spot heal on steroids, Spirit Transfer and Imbue Health are both mostly used as spike heals in the common builds. Cealdor (talk) 11:28, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Here is the draft page I made. Please take a look and make sure it covers the bases and is well formatted. If approval is given, I will make that draft page the current version of the Spike Heal page and I will then make the Infuser page a redirect to the new Spike Heal page.

I think it looks excellent. Great explanations of the role spike heals serve, the differences between the three skills, and how they're commonly used in the The Infuser Role section. Cealdor (talk) 10:29, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Ok, I went ahead and copied the contents of the draft page to the live page, and I also redirected the Infuser page to here. I also moved the team roles nav as well as the two categories on the infuser page onto the spike heal page. If anyone is against these change, I invite you to undo them and we can then discuss how best to document spike heals and the infuser role. Soldier198 (talk) 12:46, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
