Altruistic Healing

Heal yourself when you grant a boon to an ally.

Healing: 69 (0.01)^?

— In-game description

Notes[edit]

Triggers healing for every boon applied. Applying area-of-effect boons will trigger healing for each ally affected (including yourself) and skills that apply boons repeatedly over time, such as symbols, will trigger healing with each pulse.
Skills that apply multiple stacks of might or stability will trigger healing for each stack.
Synergizes extremely well with traits and skills that apply boons rapidly or to multiple targets, such as; symbols, shouts, Empowering Might, Empower, and Hallowed Ground.
The heal is equal to (5 + Level^2 * 0.01 + Healing Power * 0.01).

For ease of calculation, a Healing Power attribute of 100, equating to a heal of 70 per applied boon, is assumed.
Some weapons grant additional boons when traited.
