Over-healing should not generate extra threat

[Midori_Nabooru]

Yes, I did just say that. Healing over time isn't really used to preempt damage. It's used to counter constant damage like Auto-attack. Shielding (like Stoneskin and Adloqium) is used to preempt damage. It is NOT unreasonable for the tank to remove its lingering effect if they still have it on. I and my tank friends have no problem removing it.

Basically this sums it up.


Here's an idea, if you notice your tank still has Regen ticking on him/her you can make them aware before they make another pull.

After coming from XI (a game where heals generated enmity in accordance to how much HP was actually healed, not by how much they would have healed; the former IMO is how it should be), I'm kind of surprised how many people here are against the OP.

To me it feels like an instance of lazy programming, but whatever.

More like lazy healers. You can't just spam cure and expect to be ok, just get better at your job and you won't have that problem. Also XI and enmity shouldn't be in the same sentence, that game's enmity system was completely broken and never got fixed.

I guess I would have to agree, also coming from other games besides FF11 its second nature to cast HOTs on the tank before they pull so for some it may just be a force of habit.

I can see it from both points of view though, I won't be surprised if this mechanic is changed in the future because it seems more like an over sight than working as intended.
