Subject: Bug with Dark Empathy text?


Hi all,
I would like to post a change that should be made
for our beneficial spells that I didn't really pay
attention to until last night. The text messages
we give while buffing or healing are very
misleading to people who don't know what they
mean.

I was in the Freeport arena having fun dueling
different classes. A warrior was wanting to duel a
friend of mine but needed a small hit point gain
before he was fully healed. Both a paladin and I
cast spells on him, mine was Dark Empathy, the
paladin's spell was, by mistake, Lull. Now I'm
sure that had the warrior ever gotten Dark Empathy
cast on him before he would know that the text
messages sound strange, specifically the fact that
the caster says, "Ahhh, I feel much better now,"
when in fact he is giving his health to that
person. However, the warrior didn't know any
better so he saw the Lull, heard my words, and
promptly attacked me.

I don't play on PvP servers but I was looking
forward to one. I wouldn't want this to happen
again in a PvP environment though. So my question
is this, will the text of this spell ever be
modifed to reflect the fact that the caster is
hurting himself??

Sorry for the gripe but it kind of bothered me
last night.
