Repair Bolt + Stun Bug

Per the patch 2.8 notes:

• Fixed Tesla Bolt heal blocking talent to actually block all incoming healing.

Cool, that was a bug that needed to be fixed. Since this was a just a bug fix and not an ability redesign I figured a repair both with felix level 25 talent to remove stun, would continue to BOTH remove the stun and heal the target, as it did pre-patch 2.8. In fact, @Kitterini asked this in the patch notes thread just wanting to confirm that was the case.

[Inserting image isn't cooperating but The Grim Repair confirms it should heal on page 4, post #77 of the 2.8 announcement thread]


Confirmation it should heal, great. However, the heal has not worked correctly since patch 2.8 was released. 4 clips to prove:





No follow through heal from the repair bolt in any of the clips.

In the 2nd video you can see I pulse OaTo about the same time the stun lands, which is properly blocked by the stun, but once the stun is cleared, the pulse heal does not resume (you can still see the hearts ticking yet no +health). It's as if the heal block is still active even after the stun being removed. See 4th clip below of two repair bolts which basically confirms this.



Two repair bolts. First bolt removes the stun, no healing (though it should). Second bolt literally does nothing. Again, it's like the heal block is still being treated as active. This can't be working as intended.

 

Yep, needs fixing! (no pun intended ) Please don't wait for the next update to fix small things like this.

Maybe in customs you were just testing with a tesla bolt that didn't have the heal block talent unlocked?

 

Yea that is probably true. I didn't confirm with the first people I dragged in to test that they had that talent (2 different people). My bad. Removed that part of the original post. Retested in custom with someone who for sure had that talent and it behaved the same.

 

I wrote to @The Grim Repair to report the same issue, she promised to return with more info once they’ve looked into the issue.

 

i faced it too...while healing, but i don't use recorder to record...so unable to give proof....mostly i am defender so ignored.

 

Is this still being looked at? It’s so frustrating to waste heals.

 

Isn't repair bolt classified as incoming healing so the repair bolt should not do both healing and removal of stun.
The repair bolt talent doesn't specify that it will remove stun and heal too whereas Tesla bolt talent specifies that it should block all forms of healing till active.
So according to the text of talents and patch notes first repair bolt should only remove stun and only second repair bolt should heal.
Repair bolt is most popular item of healing on the bay and giving it too much value will undermine it's one slot status pls do look into that before giving repair bolt both healing and stun removing capabilities in one shot.

 

As of now, when stun is removed the heal block stays even though the stun is gone. And the heal block stays for the duration of the original stun. That is a bug that cannot be justified by any arguement.

 

Man read the context of my answer before answering it would do you some good.

 

The comment i replied to was irrelevant if you cannot understand that this is a bug even after i explained the context to you.

 

Man I didn't comment on the bug don't make an issue out if something you just widely assume see my answer it's qouted that second bolt should heal it means that I want this bug fixed too.

 

The official word is that Repair Bolt with the remove stun talent is meant to remove stun and heal.

If it doesnt work then there is hardly any reason to take the talent (the alternative is 5% more HP).

 

No removing stun with repair bolt has too much value I cannot count how many time a repair bolt to remove stun on me has saved my life allowing me to ob or nitro away from an incoming torp Berta or excanon shot.
Removing stun from ur top dmg dealer has too much value and most of the fixer will choose this talent whether it heals or not.
Repair bolt is the most popular healing item on the bay and if it will heal and remove stun and heal a target at the same time what the pt of using stun then?
And how does it justify its being one slot then?
Fyi: I only fought against the bug of stun (for months) because of the repair bolt because it healed and removed stun at the same time.

 

@The Grim Repair Thank you to the team for getting this fixed in the 2.9 update!
