Question Concerning Infusing

Last week, my guild faced a "ranger spiker team" and I infused my ally. But for some reason, i ended up wasting half of my life and my ally's health still stayed the same. Could you guys explain this to me? is it a glitch or am i infusing too late? (he was still alive after the infusion thanks to the woh monk)

He was probably spiked for the amount you healed right when you healed him.

all 4 rangers had spiked then i infused...But nothing happened.

if this is the only time it happened, there's nothing to worry about. For all we know, the above could've happened, or it could be some party window bug or something.

not understanding what you mean by this.

edit: i fail with BBCode

Weird, second spike, maybe?

Well, TBH, if a WoH monk beat you to it, it probably should have been too late. However, I'd guess you healed and assumed it was the WoH or you healed first.

If the person your infusing your health to, has a temporary hp boost (ie. Endure Pain...), It might have been the boost losing it's effect. And those effect are not showned in real-time, not until their hp changes by damage or heal... like when a minotaur's endure pain wears off, his hp doesnt actually decrease until you strike him again..

just a theory.

I used infuse last night for a few runs out and about, it seemed to work fine for me. sorry

You had the wrong party member selected.

ditto, just tried a couple of times in PvP, worked fine.

If you say it didnt heal him for anything.. You sure you had points in healing?

(Silly question but.. sometimes.. i wonder )

Infuse Health is a strong heal even with no points in healing. ~Edit- Unless you are running a 55hp build

Probably your best explanation so far.

Infuse Monk save my butt for many times, So yea Go to Random Arena practice your Infuse ...
A good Spike is hard to infuse imo, Especially Ranger Spike , In one to two secs delay one of your party member drop even b4 u have a chance to heal him...

Don't never ever Infuse , when u are getting attack ... Guardian , RoF ... and Kitt

their has to be a glitch in the skill.. i dont know how many times it has happened to me( to many times actually!!) that i know i hit infuse and i know i have them selected and i know I HIT INFUSE!!.. what comes up?? Invalid target or something like that... all my friends say this also happens to them as well.. spikes that r super duper easy to catch dont get infused because of this invalid target...
fairness?? none to me..
Fix!?!?! please please please anet!!!

the invalid target thing has happened to me before, i assumed it was lagged response in the health bar as he died a second or so later

Never happened to me.

Unfortunately....

always happens to me in the worst moments.. ask around.. maybe other *fustrated* infusers will speak up about it happening...

There have been a few times when I infuse too late and even though he dies before I can finish casting, I still lose half my life. but I've never seen a time when my ally is still alive but doesn't get infused and I lose half health. If it was a blood spike I think it could've been possible that they spiked off the same ammount of health that you infused, but I've never seen R-spike do that much dmg. Was your health at full when you infused?

unless ur god, i dont think he would be able to predict the person they were spiking and i also dont think he would have infused the same time they started their spike. most likely, the poster infused the wrong person

Sometimes during a GVG a players health would go down, and we would yell how he died? Than on vent he says he's still alive, but on party shows dead. If your teammate stayed at same health after using infuse has to be a bug.
