Radiation Siphon - 3 ticks of heal (NOT)

[davesimpson99]

Power discription has 3 ticks of ##.## heal over 2.10s on self unresistable.  

 

This only seems to be working one of 10 times using it.  Is there some other trigger i'm not aware of?

Of the top of my head, requires a contaminated target.

Captain Powerhouse has the right of it. The target has to be contaminated in order for the heal to trigger.

Yep, that's why, though I'll agree it is the absolute dumbest mechanic for a heal attack to have considering how enemies are often dead before they're contaminated or you can tell which ones even are. You basically have to ignore that the heal on the attack is even there and just accept that the power is unfairly weighted to that fact to have worse damage/rech/cast time stats for it.

While I agree it's silly for the heal to work that way (probably should heal like half the amount and then another half if you hit a contaminated target), it's still really good.
