Notes

Bugs:

• This skill only applies the self-healing portion if an ally is tethered.
• Using this skill without an ally tethered will cause its healing to accumulate; The next time this skill is used while an ally is tethered, all accumulated healing will be applied. This bug can lead to an arbitrarily large heal if the skill is used repeatedly without an ally tethered.
• The tooltip description for this skill states it heals non-tethered targets, but the skill fact for this skill does not include how much those targets are healed for.
