Heal over time and zoning

Hello,

On my Cleric alt, Elech, I noticed the other day that if I cast a HoT on myself then zone immediately, the HoT icon stays there for the usual duration, but I am *not* healed, at all. I thought about /bugging it, but then I thought it might have been done on purpose to stop an exploit or something like it. Example: out of group Cleric casts large HoT on tank who then enters a 6-man zone with his group. HoT doesn't stay for long, but can help break the first camp.

So I post here instead... HoT stops working after zoning: intended or not?

Thanks.
 
Ah, that explains it. It's not a big problem, I just cast a HoT on myself after zoning to evade some mobs and before zoning back to where I was, in case a mob or two lingered by the zoneline. I'll just wait for the heal to take effect before zoning back in.

From the looks of it, bard box buffs aren't preserved at all. The client thinks they're still ticking, but the server has already zeroed out all the buff info for the song slots. Not worth bothering for buffs that are all just going to fade in a couple ticks anyway, I guess.

I don't think this is true for all bard box buffs though at least, I know for a fact that Selo's sticks around, for example, because I can almost get to the Thurgadin bounty area from the GD zone-in before it runs out, it's like a daily hobby to see how far I can get.
