SW:TOR Mechanics - The Basics

[Theril]

Periodic abilities evaluate a person's buffs on each tick and not just on the initial cast. For instance, Revivication (Sorcerer's AoE heal) was ticking for about 326 raid buffed. After the cast, during ticks, I popped my Rakata Attack Adrenal and the subsequent ticks were around 390. The same happened when I procced my Relic of Forbidden Secrets during ticks and saw the frequency and magnitude of my crits increase. Of course this works in reverse as well, where when buffs are removed, the damage/healing of an ability will change.

Just an interesting observation and one that I have yet to find discussed.
