Should now be "Mending" as a form of "healing"?

With Legion's rework, there have been some weaknesses ... in its power, since it only has the function of obtaining a free hit (but the power is very "Useless") ..

Should I have something more useful? (Edit: I do not want it to be abusive like the old LEGION, to understand) But to improve it so that it has more utility and that really the deep wound is a challenge.

One of the ideas is that mending is treated as a form of healing and can be seen with "nurse´s calling", in addition to adding skill checks (as for example, madness 3 of the doctor). I can not think of more things ... but he needs something to make it ... more useful.

    I agree, but the perk is called Nurse's Calling

    Mending being considered healing would be great for those who want to use Borrow Time's newest buff out of this change! It would help with also affecting the mending speed with perks such as Coulrophobia, Sloppy, and Unnerving while going along well with Nurse's to make an anti-heal/anti-mend build! :D

    @Tru3Lemon If you mend yourself it should be considered healing, why, because you are healing yourself out of a health state for one, and two all feral frenzy does now is give out a free hit then its a M1 chase for the remainder of the chase

    If it consider healing then it should go to healthy intead of going injured so no its not healing

    You hit with feral frenzy, you have 1 or 2 wounded, you are "mending" and in 10 seconds power "counterplay" is useless, get free hits, because then you have to make chases ... a uselessness.

    Actually the power deals: You hit with feral frenzy to the maximum survivors, you have 1 or 2 wounded, they take off the deep wound with "mending" and in 10-15 seconds they no longer have the deep wound .... applying deep wound over a survivor only leaves him HURT .... it does not help, 0 utility, you do not waste time because they instantly heal and again 100% of life, only ... get free hits, and then you have to make chases .. a uselessness

    @Tru3Lemon While I can agree that the new Legion changes are fine, mending not being considered 'healing' was always kind of silly to me...

    Mend-repair (something that is broken or damaged).

    Heal-(of a person or treatment) cause (a wound, injury, or person) to become sound or healthy again.

    Mending is really just healing yourself from a state that could end up hurting you in the end! But it's only something we will have to wait and see on what the devs will do with it. :P

    @Tru3Lemon You are literally healing yourself out of the Deep wounds state to injured, and Nurse's calling states that

    The Auras of Survivors who are healing or being healed are revealed to you when they are within 20/24/28 metres of range.

    Meaning you can see people in the Dying state getting healed to Injured, so your entire point is thrown out the door with the "Healing to healthy state"

    Actually, devs should check their power and adjust it. Need help.

    if mending counted as healing it would not affect nurse's calling, deep wounds don't deplete in terror radius so why would they mend in your terror radius

    counting as healing would make sloppy butcher better but also botany knowledge better as well

    mend

    /mend/

    verb

    gerund or present participle: mending

    Yes, it should.

    Yeah, I hate the way you can't heal downed survivors that have the broken status.

    I think they should do this, and another thing I tihnk they should do (though it might be unbalanced to do both things) is add skillchecks to mending, with the progress pause of a failed check causing the game to consider you to be not mending for the purpose of the timer.

    Legion's power doesn't read auras.

    Rationally, you wouldn't even need to mend against Legion within NC range because the timer stops. The more important aspect would be Sloppy Butcher and Coulrophobia, which will discourage survivors from mending in the Legion's TR.

    If Mending was considered healing, Legion could run be cheesey and run Thanatophobia, Sloppy Butch, Coulrophobia, and NC. Better than the standard BBQ, SF, Enduring, and Ruin.

    Yep, I'm just calling it what it is. Or isn't, rather. It's definitely not as powerful as aura reading, that's for sure.

    Has it really been that long? Yes, that's correct and I agree with you. But Mending makes more sense logically because it's literally healing a wound. If there's any mechanic that should have an exception, it should be Deep Wounds, rather than Doctor's... whatever that is.
