Talk:Poison

No, I'm fairly certain that monsters can be healed to death - it's just the damage that is taken from healing is very, very small. I've seen Medics in particular weaken a poisoned Lichen Colony (it took fewer strikes to defeat it), and in one instance kill a fellow Medic in an arena. So healing to death is possible, but the chances of that happening is very, very, very, very rare. Saphykun 20:05, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

According to this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzZVVQZL59I it shows the damage ticks on monsters, indicating that they are taking damage. Unfortunately, you do not see how much damage they are taking, so we can assume that they are taking only a fraction of what they would be healed as damage (ie. Wings heal for 25HP, but it may deal 5HP in damage so it takes longer to heal to death). The best reason why Wings or Menders don't damage for 25HP+ per tick is because then poison would be overpowered, which is why it's very difficult to have an enemy heal itself (or another) to death. Undid Eek5's edit, and specified how much damage poison can deal when healed. Saphykun 17:04, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

That's damage from the haze bomb exploding... there is absolutely NO way that enemies are taking damage from heal based on my observations. Look at how much damage it takes to kill a wolver in that video, how much damage is done, and how much is healed. Eek5 17:48, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
