Sounds completely OP and utterly gamebreaking.

Look at death count column tooltip - damage taken / healing done ratio is ur friend.

I don't see people sitting in a corner doing this, but sometimes I'll see it in a losing match, while sitting at a node waiting for the game to end.

Here's what I do:

I heal them while they're consuming. I've lost MVP votes to these people who are padding their stats. So, I don't allow it anymore. It really pisses them off

Sages sacrificing Nerfs?

SAVE THE NERFS. GIVE THEM RIGHTS.

I do it for the 75k healing medal, but only when I am gaurding a node/turret. I get 3 medals out of it. You can't do it while you're alone. Stealth LOVE to sneak up and gank me when I am at 1% lol

This would be akin to preventing operatives from self-healing after using Stim Boost, Adrenaline Probe, or Diagnostic Scan, except those don't cost life or global cooldowns (except Scan is channeled, of course, and kind of bad.) If you nerf Consumption/Noble Sacrifice, you utterly obliterate sage healing in PvE and remove the somewhat-questionable sustainability sage healers have in PvP. Not only do sage healers - the squishiest healers in the game - have to sustain their resource by sacrificing their own health and then healing themselves through it (negating a portion of the benefit) they also can't heal at the same time due to the GCD cost.

In short, yes, nerf Consumption by removing the health cost. Problem solved! Better yet, rework the sage regeneration mechanic entirely instead of using it as a way to make an already-squishy class squishier and as a way to cap their healing potential.

P.S. Any other healing class can do the exact same thing by stripping off all their armour, putting it back on, and then healing themselves up; it's just more involved.

or solution would be add the healing numbers only when sorcerer had used consumption in combat.

out of combat might means no healing numbers .
