After reading the patch notes and watching preview videos, it appears Borrowed Time is no longer providing healing in combat. Instead, healing is provided when combat ends.
I initially thought amenar's patch notes made a mistake and meant to list Dust to Dust, not Borrowed Time.
If so, this is a major ouch to the SWs trying to PvP! Please let me know how this goes today.

This would kill Soulbinder in PVP more or less....hope it's not that way because it's a big nerf.
On PTR i recognized consistant 11k healing tics when sparks were vanishing slowly, but maybe only out of combat...didn't pay enough attention
Some player allready stated that SB is not woking in PVP that good and HB deals better (although being a glasscannon setup)
This has to be an oversight because the soul spark class mechanic already heals you when combat ends. There is no need to have Borrowed Time do this as well. If this is the only thing Borrowed Time does, it will be borderline useless without the artifact offhand class feature of 15% deflect chance at max sparks.
Borrowed Time is (was?) also an extremely useful survivability tool for new players and solo questing.
Ouch!
Maybe you are right and i only saw that soulspark mechanic healing me out of combat several times by constant 11k tics?
Btw. sparks also did not lift my lifestealchance at all on PTR...hope this is not the way it's gonna work , getting at least constantly healed at campfire in domination
It just doesn't calculate sparks in right way because of the change implemented - you get max 2% of Borrowed Time offhand feature. Just make a thread in Bug Section - I currently can't.

The low-end and high-end scaling buffs to Killing Flames is of interest as well. It potentially makes the encounter less useless against enemies at or near full health.
But, in reality, it doesn't matter much as there are too many glaring issues with PvP and class balance that negatively affect SW performance more than any other class. Sigh.
Fellas, I been posting this stuff in the Warlock forums and on preview test, and there has been no improvement for Warlocks or bugs fixed.
All I can say is, LOL!

My thing is, if you go back to the first page of the SW class balance patch notes, amenar stated he corrected the tooltip to state Borrowed Time heals when combat ends (I'm paraphrasing). I chimed in stating he probably made a mistake and meant Dust to Dust only provides AP when sparks heal you at the end of combat.
The result was nothing was said about Borrowed Time... Even after the PvP Borrowed Time videos.
A little interesting as Borrowed Time may be "working as intended" based on amenar's original patch notes. As I said above, this doesn't sit well because soul sparks natively heal you when combat ends anyhow.
Just finished domination. Our damage isn't bad as soulbinder but without healing and deflection from BT we can't stand more than 10 seconds in 1v1. So - emergency fix, 7 days fix - doesn't matter. I just hope I don't have to wait another 2 years for it.

As for pre 70 Warlocks, I am very happy I am not leveling one up, currently (In PvP that is).

Edit: here is the ominous patch note:
"Borrowed Time: Added clarification to the tooltip to make it clear that this Class Feature only triggers when Soul Sparks heal you at the end of combat."
That's pretty straight forward from amenar, no?
So here are my questions:
1) Does the soul spark mechanic heal you after combat ends *without* Borrowed Time slotted?
2) Does Borrowed Time independently heal you after combat ends, in addition to the soul spark mechanic? Or, is the soul spark mechanic buffed by Borrowed Time, granting more healing after combat?
3) Borrowed Time was incorrectly patched by amenar and will return to its previous state, providing healing every 2 seconds in combat based on the number of soul sparks?
On a side note the description for Creeping death is quite messed up: it has nothing in common with the release notes (only warlock curse and 8 seconds)
To talk back about Borrowed time, the fact that it's basically inoperant and that we didn't recieve a retraining token is quite the double bind for us soulbinders ( for my part that's 4 power points stuck on a non working feature....It's time they allow retraing tokens to be easier to obtain o live
Hopefully it wont take too long for someone to pick this up and fix BT.

He talked briefly about the changes on Warlocks on the test server and said he would take things we threw at him in consideration when making changes (warlocks evasion of SE), but then disappeared and was not heard from again
Borrowed time, after the next patch was broken and still made it in, even after all the Warlocks testing bugged and reported it, again
-Kymos
Now, all they have to do is fix the Borrowed time to work as intended. I think Amenar did this on purpose, to be totally honest with you, just so there would not be two viable specs for Warlocks in PvP and PvE. There seems to be a pattern of this going on each mod with different classes.
-Kymos
If that is the case then it'd be nice to know if it's intended or if it's a bug
It is my my life style, my doctrine and my state of mind,
You fight well, but without focus and discipline, you will fall.

The patchnodes obviously were wrong:
"Borrowed Time: Added clarification to the tooltip to make it clear that this Class Feature only triggers when Soul Sparks heal you at the end of combat."
was ment to be:
Soulspark: Added clarification to the tooltip to make it clear that this -->Class Feature (mechanic)<-- only triggers when Soul Sparks heal you at the end of combat
because Soulspark mechanic was changed to: .......While you are out of comabat a Soulspark will be sonsumed every 0,5 seconds healing you for 0,5% of your max HP.
former being: When combat ends you are healed for .5% of your max life for each Soul Spark you possess and they are consumed. Soul Sparks last until consumed or combat ends. -->the last sentence is the reason why something needed a bit of clarification
Sadly, when this is the case (certainly not the first time), getting up to speed will take time as will what to do about it thereafter. I have little doubt we looking at months of waiting.
