Increasing HP would have made healing OP.

No because we didn't need a huge HP increase, and nobody was using healers in Arena anyway.

Also, current mechanic means healers can only heal a char when below 50%. To make use of the full heal potential now a char needs to be 25% of total original HP + Protection....meanwhile you hit like a wet noodle.

Bad mechanic

The OP specifically stated ' Increase the health pools and effectiveness of armor was the answer'.

This is my response to a guild mate last night regarding what would have happened if instead of protection it was an increase to HP.


'At level 80 Lumi will have her heal reduced down to a three turn cool down.

She will have 14509 hp and 13841 protection. If they had of added it all together she would have had 28350 health. Healing for 12756k every three turns with an additional 5620 heal at the start of their next two turns.

Sorry, but that is completely OP.'

Fortitude should not be equal to 90-110% of a hero's health. It should be equal to 25-75% depending on the hero. E.G. 25% for Rey, 75% for Boba Fett.

What an obtuse argument, you don't have to raise HP by so much that it makes it OP. Nobody is saying we should have matched the exact same numbers as they added with protection, that's absurd. With healing immunity, ability block, and stun readily available, people can't beat you with healing unless you let them. Given the fact that you can burst people down between healer's turns without any of those 3, this really turns into a complete nonsense argument. "Nobody using healers in arena" is exactly the problem. You have 3 main mechanics, tanking, healing, dps. And if no one is even using healing because it's worthless in arena? You have a MAJOR problem with your base mechanics.
