Archon Halo is not bugged

Apparently there’s a miscommunication that Halo is bugged and doing more healing then it’s intended which was posted on the Warcraft Priests discord. That’s not accurate.

Here’s my proof:
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/gVPTXBfy7KMtCY6H#fight=35&type=healing&source=6&ability=120692&view=events&start=7710507&end=7749173

If you look here you can clearly see Halo DRing after the first 6 targets. It starts at 120k non-crit and is half that by the time it reaches the final target. Halo is healing pets which is already contributing to the diminishing returns effect. Divine Star used to have this problem until it was fixed.

Each back and forth pulse of Halo counts as a recast of Halo. That’s why you’ll see this…

01:50.405 Caithyra Halo Caithyra +0 (O: 194280) ← start of 1st pulse
01:52.295 Caithyra Halo Water Elemental (Fróstßölt) +0 (O: 37588) ← end of 1st pulse
01:53.283 Caithyra Halo Water Elemental (Fróstßölt) +0 (O: 234850) ← 1st pulse starts coming back

TLDR: It’s a myth that Halo is bugged.
