Same as Freezing used to, the yellow text for heals shows up even when you can't see the target using the heal.
On that note, there is no reason mobs should be spamming heals as often as I see them. Something in the AI should be adjusted for smarter heal use. Edit: The offender appears to Providence, which probably shouldn't be used preemptively.

Healing text shows up outside of FoV
Sorry about all the parentheses (sometimes I like to clarify things).
Re: Healing text shows up outside of FoV
Yes, luminous horrors do this a lot - they can often be seen/heard casting Healing Light and such when they're within the screen but not 'alerted' to the player yet, with the associated yellow text popping out of the blackness. (I'm still on b33 though)
This is perhaps not exactly related, but when I clicked on this I thought you were talking about how 'fly out' text is hard to catch when you're standing at the very extreme top of the map border (happens most often in adventurer fights), it's minor but perhaps could be changed so that when you're on the upper edge, flyout text moves downwards rather than up, or is properly visible on top of the 'void' at the top there - I may be misremembering it but I believe it disappears sooner than that text does when not at the upper edge. I usually keep an eye on the damage values I'm taking using that text so that I can keep my eyes on the battle and not have to refer to either log, which is why I notice it :p

Maybe the things healing themselves are wearing clothes that are making their hp regen negative?

I think most of the time it won't be clothes but the insatiable weapon ego.TheRani wrote:Maybe the things healing themselves are wearing clothes that are making their hp regen negative?

Re: Healing text shows up outside of FoV
I think it's mostly Healing Light and Providence. I think the AI doesn't use infusions over 80% hp and maybe the same thing should be done for Healing Light.
Re: Healing text shows up outside of FoV
At least with Healing Light it's not related to equipment - not when you can more than once come across a trio of Luminous Horrors and have all three of them spamming the ability before you even get to them. I believe the same can be said for Eternal Bone Giants and their 'rebuild' skill, though I may be wrong on that count since my Gloom was leeching a few hp each turn both times I've fought one of those. It was actually handy since u could 'poledance' (well, small-block dance) until he'd put his Rebuild and Shield on cooldown before wailing on him
