Question about Transfusion...

...is it bugged, or is there something I'm missing.

I haven't played a kin very far along, but I currently have a level 12 Grav/Kin that I'm playing mostly AE arcs with, and it seems that the heal from Transfusion is often missing. Here's a copy of the combat log. You can see that Omega doesn't die, as I know that could cause the heal not to fire, is there anything else that would cause the heal to legitimately not fire, or is this bugged. And it was happening quite a bit too.

You activated the Transfusion power.
HIT Omega! Your Transfusion power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 5.39.
Genin HITS you! Exploding Shuriken power had a 65.00% chance to hit and rolled a 10.14.
Outcast Torch HITS you! Flares power had a 50.00% chance to hit and rolled a 16.72.
Your Transfusion siphons the endurance and regeneration rate of Omega
You drop Omega to the ground for 15.84 points of smashing damage!
Omega HITS you! Entangling Arrow power had a 78.00% chance to hit and rolled a 58.81.
You activated the Gravity Distortion power.
HIT Omega! Your Gravity Distortion power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 40.58.
Outcast Torch pelts you with his Flares for 12.6 points of fire damage!
Genin hits you with a Exploding Shuriken for 11.67 points of lethal damage!
You continue to burn from the Flares for 3.54 points of fire damage!
Genin HITS you! Shuriken power had a 65.00% chance to hit and rolled a 30.45.
Omega immobilized you with a Entangling Arrow!
You have been immobilized!
Your Gravity Distortion holds Omega, paralyzing them!
Your hold on Omega with your Gravity Distortion was even more powerful

The thing about Transfusion is that it only works if the enemy is alive when the heal portion is applied. Using it on targets that die quickly or are about to die is not such a wonderful idea.

As you may notice, the combat log is from the same battle. Omega doesn't die during any of this.

edit: Aha! I figured it out. The heal is centered on the enemy. I had always thought it was centered on you. Is that the way it's supposed to work?

edit #2: I guess it helps if I read the actual power instead of just going off of assumptions.

This has been known to clear things up on occasion, yes ...


It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

That's how it's supposed to work. Kinetics has a number of powers that work up-close and personal. Solo, it's a tradeoff between safety and speed: Kinetics plays fast and loose; lots of damage, often on the brink of death. Teamed, it means you can offer greater benefit (such as the heals) to front-line fighters, rather than hanging back and healing the back-row blasters. Or, put another way, offer enough support to let even squishies move up to the front row.

This is also why the green glowy aura emits from the enemy and not from you.
