Over-healing should not generate extra threat

[Pooky_Pasha]

I don't know who thought this idea up on the SE development team, but it was a bad decision. Tanking and healing on this game is tricky enough - especially considering how so many people who play this game are in such a rush they demand the tank grab half the dungeon at a time.

Heals should only generate threat if they actually restore health.

Please change this.

So question about tanks and dps...should threat only be generated if damage is actually done? Also, if your tank is losing threat to over-healing, you might need a better tank. If your tank isn't losing threat to over-healing, I don't see what the problem is. Tanking and healing in this game really are not that "tricky."

I don't think you understand the concept of a healing over time spell. It is used to preempt damage.

Ahhh...I get it now. You don't understand basic game mechanics. HoTs have the same effect as Cure. They directly heal damage. There is nothing preemptive about HoTs because the damage is still taken. The biggest benefit of HoTs are that if they are allowed their full duration, they are by far the most MP efficient cures a healer can have.
