Justivar's Vengence vs Absorb

[Flashmoo]

I have a question and I didn't find anything useful on google about it so, the question is: if Justicar's Vengeance should heal you if you hit somebody that have absorb (exemple: Power Word: Shield, etc)
Right now JV doesn't heal if you hit on absorb.

Here might be your answer @flashmoo

Unfortunatelly i have no retail account to test it overthere, so what can i gather are some posts from blizzard's forum and some logic

Found something like that in a blizzard topic

Quote:

In the current game, when used into an absorb, Justicar's vengenace does not provide the healing that it is supposed to.

Seems like it is kinda working the same on retail aswell at this moment i guess...

JV has been working like this since it's implementation. The healing is based on actual damage done to the HP pool, not absorbs. Not sure for the rationale, but it does add some element of thought to when you use it.

Just to let me stop using useless quotes, here you can find the post .

Oke, now about what tooltip says: Justicar's Vengeance.
My guess is also that it shouldn't heal if you hit through absorb, because, lets think a bit about that.
It deals dmg equal to 800% of your attack power ( 1600% if target is stunned ), and after that it heals for the direct damage you have done, dealing damage into a shield, is not really a direct damage, since it didnt actually hit the target.

Something that could you help again is that:

Its not a bug what this guy says is true. You only get healed for the damage done on a target. If target has 600k u hit for 200k u get a 200k heal but say if the target is almost died at 100k and u hit for 200k or hell 1milion you would only be healed for 100k.

In case you need more clarity, just feel free to ping my voicemail.
