Swiftmend logic

#1 » Post by Bloodshade » 23 Aug 2021 14:14

The Spell Swiftmend consumes the Effect of either Rejuvenation or Regrowth with the least duration remaining. If it consumes Rejuvenation however it heals about 20% more than Regrowth. The interesting thing comes when you have the Glyph of Swiftmend, which doesn't consume the effects, but it still uses the effect with the lower duration instead of the effect that would heal more.

I looked around but I can't really find any information about it, there is a single comment on wowhead from TBC (where the glyph did not exist) which confirms that it does consume the effect with least duration, but there is nothing for WoTLK and with the glyph. Considering there is nothing more mentioned we could maybe assume it's the same, but doesn't it feel kind of pointless that it would still prefer the effect with lower duration when it does not get consumed?

Any thoughts on this?

Doesn't it consume the one that lasts the shortest amount of time? From my experience, it always chooses Rejuvenation regardless of whether Regrowth is on the target or not. Only if Rejuvenation is not on the target will it choose Regrowth

It chooses Regrowth if the duration remaining of Regrowth is lower and both are present, but the stupid thing is that it heals less from regrowth.

Looks like that's how it's supposed to be.

So, if Rejuvenation does more healing in 12 sec then Regrowth does in 18 sec (as is typically the case), but Regrowth has less time remaining on the target, then Swiftmend will proc off the Regrowth and provide less healing.
