Confusing Dervish Skill Description

[Nolaquen]

Hi guys. I didn't have much spare time in the preview weekend, but have been noodling with the dervish a bit. After that, I've looked at the Dervish skills, some of which the exact effect is kind of confusing:

Initiate's Blessing - "For 20 seconds, whenever you lose an Enchantment, one ally in the area is healed for 5-50 Health."

Mystic Healing - "For each Enchantment on you, one party member is healed for 25-85 Health (the same party member cannot be healed more than once)."

Mystic Twister - "For each Enchantment on you, one foe in the area is struck for 30-125 cold damage (the same target cannot be hit more than once)."

I think you see the similarity here. Well, my question is: In what type of pattern are the targets picked? Is it completely random? Depending on their distance from you? Or, in the case of the healing effect, would the players with the least health get the heal (not likely, but would be good)". I hope someone has tested this, recognised a pattern or maybe has some insight in the way these skills are programmed :laugh:

crud i actually was going to test this thing, but i didn't want to dump the faction. Well the in the area ones are just random.

The mystic healing, not sure of the range, i would assume it would have the same range as aegis the enchant for the whole party. I might be wrong, but it would seem like the same logic.

isnt "in the area" like your radar circle?

Im guessing it works closest to farthest... but yes, would be nice if it was 'smart' healing :P

Initiate's blessing has the same size as a ward in terms of who can be healed, in terms of who is healed, it seemed fairly random when I used the skill...

At the PvP island training area, there are those 2 bullseye's on the ground. The outermost ring is "in the area" if you were standing in the middle. Within earshot might be close to radar size.

i would imagine that mystic healing would have the same range as heal party, becauseone says one party member and the other says all party members, so that means one party member within radar. this is just my idea, hope it's acurate

For 1-60 seconds, you have +10 maximum Energy and your attacks deal 5-41 damage to foes activating skills. This skill is disabled for 120 seconds. This is an elite skill.

What does it mean by skills. with things like oath shot, it says it rechages skills but rechages spells too. are skills just skills, or are they attacks or spells too?

Anything that goes on your Skill Bar is a skill, I believe.
