heals not working with incandesence

[Iron Alex]

Just posted over in the bug section.. has anyone experience the same thing with the pb heals not working with incarnate power incandescence ?

I believe I know why this is.

 

1) Incandescence boosts healing recieved by applying a heal resistance buff.  Similar to the way resistance debuffs from our abilities make enemies take more damage, a heal resistance buff would make heals more effective.

 

2) Some heals are flagged as unresistable, meaning they will do their normal amount and not check resistance.  Both PB self heals are flagged as unresistable as are I'm sure several other self heals scattered across power sets.

 

2b) While this is a bad thing in the case of incandescence, it's a good thing if you ever get hit with a resistance effect that reduces the amount you heal.  It's not the most common effect thrown around but it is a thing. Off the top of my head I believe Hami applies it, not sure where else it would be offhand.
