    5.2 PTR Bloodworms

    So, I was super excited about a'lil bit more blood utility in raids, as the current worms are garbage.
    And I didn't see much talk about it elsewhere.

    When I first read about the change I napkin'd it to be about 6 times the healing, then I decided to test it out.

    With abit of setup, I managed to push out roughly a 1.3 million heal from a single worm...



    126k hp worms, 12 stacks>360% of health to healing, crit doubles it and then a 40% modifier from glyphed VB.

    1,271,229 in total. Leaving VB and the crit out, it's still a solid 400k+++ heal

    Crazy.

    A shame you can't decide when they burst.

    Brb rolling dk?

    Lol, I wonder how it's gonna help on pvp. I rely on death pact for heals and dark succor. The worms in their current state are almost non existent.

    You mathed it wrong. 200% more health = triple the health. Tripling the healing as well means 9 times the current healing, which is pretty insane.

    Yeah, I realised out my napkin was way off when I saw the ingame results.

    For some reason I think it's intended to be 3ple health = 3ple healing not 3ple health x 3ple healing = 9x healing

    I don't think this change is gonna go live.

    Why? Blood Worms are a bit useless because they can detonate when everyone is on full health. And this heal is split between nearby ally.

    You think this amount of healing coming from a tank is reasonable?

    BAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA!!

    Need to sig this. Its a same we cant contol the summon and burst of the worms but i guess that would be too OP.

    Considering most of the healing is completely wasted in either case...
    Hard to say, since a pure number game won't get you far because of the unpredictability of the Blood Worm's burst. Which means that most of the healing will be ineffective.

    Looking at the bloodworms healing in my 10 man parses this change would result in me doing close to 30k (ignoring that I'd get even more overhealing, so probably closer to or below 20k) mostly random aoe healing during a grouped fight. Monks aren't far below that atm and both palas and warriors provide more versatile/better utility than a dk, it doesn't seem that unreasonable to me. I suspect that it might a bit stronger in 25 man, but the tanks healing matters less here as well.

    Have you made any logs from that fight? I want to look on it a bit.

    I do, but our logs are private, can show you a picture of the amount of healing tho, notice overhealing done by the bloodworms.

    Obviously the numbers are way too high. I'd just like some slight control..or have it be more passive. Instead of just 250k raid heals when everyone's topped and it's slow sailing :l

    In fact we do - while our single target tanking ability is probably the best of all tanks we're still worse on anything that isn't purely about single target tanking because we have no real raid utility/healing.... (Besides vengeance scaling and aoe tanking capability are also kind of mehhh compared to other tanks)
