Darth Nihilus Bug

It has happened since the NS roll back and at first I thought it was because of him being debuffed. He wasn't shocked which I know prevents selfheal. This has happened multiple occasion in arena and other events. All my other party members selfheal fine.

CG_TopHat you can review my last arena battle where DN has no debuffs and yet doesn't heal when I use annihilate?. To be honest it's getting frustrating. I went back and read the Annihilate description in case something was changed and it looks the same as I can recall.

I'm going to try and record any fight using my DN team if it doesn't lag everything to bad. Has anybody else had an issues with this happening? Or am I just missing something.

  • That's not right. When he annihilates he gains max health equal to the target and under his lead ability every time a sith does damage they gain health 150%. Those combined means he heals because he does damage . it shows it over the toons head getting detroyed?. So yes he should heal every time he annihilates. Yes before you say something else he is lead with zeta.

    He destroys a toon without doing damage. The only time annihilate does damage is versus a Raid Boss. Under a Nihilus lead he will heal himself at that point, but otherwise will not.

    You have to understand how the health bar works. The visible bar that's shown is a representation of the % of his health. When the bar is full, he's at 100% health (be it 30k or 500k), and when the bar is half full, he's at 50% health (be it 50% of 30k = 15k or 50% of 500k = 250k). When he annihilates another character, his maximum health increases by that quantity - however, his percentage of health remains the same.

    If Nihilus had 30k health, and annihilates a character with 50k health, his new max health is 80k. If he was at 100% health (i.e. 30k) at the time, then he is still at 100% health - but that numerical value is now 80k instead of 30k.

    If Nihilus' max health was 30k, but he was at 50%, then his numerical health value would be at 15k. If he annihilates a 50k character, then his new maximum health is now 80k. However, he is still at 50% value, so his new numerical value is 40k (50% of 80k).

    Neither of those situations involves damage being dealt. You *think* damage is being dealt because you are conflating damage with defeating a character. However, in this case he is not dealing damage to that character.

    Sith don't gain 150% health when they do damage. They have 150% health steal which means they recover health equal to 150% of the damage done. Key part is doing damage
    Destroying a target does no damage.

    Go record a video and annhilate a character. Watch the video in slow motion you will see no damage done the opponent just dies.

    Or use another uploaded video

    I even converted the annhilate for you to a gif running at 25% speed.

    Annhilate vs a non-raid boss does no damage so you can't health steal. Been like this from the start.
