Has this been fixed? I'm lvling my hr and just got Binding Arrow/Oak Skin and I don't deflect the heals. Atleast not while the skill is rank 1 or rank 2. If it only affects the rank 3 then i think the effect is mixed up with Forest Meditation, it should deflect all attacks at rank 3 but it only offers control immunity. What you guys think?
Dunno, I have it at 2 with my archer ranger and it still deflects it then again, I haven't played with it since 3-4 days ago because I was leveling a nature ranger and it still does deflect.
Could be though but it doesn't always deflect so it might not be.

Well I haven't seen it deflect any heals so far. Odd.
For me it works just fine, lvl 47 currently and i have 2 points in it. Maybe upgrading it to last rank messes it up? Could this have anything to do with how on rank 3 forest meditation doesn't deflect attacks even though it should? I'll keep close eye on it and post here anything I notice.
I recently had it deflected by myself in pvp, so i think it has something to do if you're in a group. It was rank 2/3. It seems that even when in group but when no allies were near it healed for the full amount without deflects. Kinda odd behavior.
It doesn't increase defense and seems to heal 0.5% hp per second for 8 seconds (9 tics). Just what I wanted, a weak hot. I like the playstyle that Nature implies (AoE buff and single controls), but it's still not balanced. Even boar's hide is at best 5 stacks of 2% DR for the whole team since the CD is too long for it to re-buff before the stacks are removed, making the feat useless. Maybe if it added a thorns aura or damage increase... or actually increased the initial stacks as well as their max, I could understand.

I don't know what sort of bug you got, but it most definietely increases your damage resistance (notice I did not say defense) by 10%. IE if your damage resistance is 0%, it is now 10%. If your damage resistance is 50%, it is now 60%. Oak Skin gains more use the higher your damage resistance since it is a flat bonus, ie at 0% it is a 10% buff, but at 50% it is a 20% reduction. This makes more sense if you know how effective HPs work.

How useful is the debuff on commanding? I honestly do not use it enough to have a real opinion. Thought I would ask some folks who are using it...
its pretty good because it works for the party against a target like a boss, elite, or a gf, who have really good dr because it makes it less existant.
if you are going for maxing your dps its slightly less useful due to the wait and the lower damage it does comparatively.
imo the buff is what makes this move useful.

indeed, its why i end up having to fight with half the playerbase on the forums.
Also the effects from Weapon Enchants on buffs will show to let you know they are working in the background and who have been affected by them. though the effects of WE are not relevent.

it works every time 2/3 you might be on to something here.
I went to blacklake and tested it 40 times every time full healing.
tried it 40 more times and yup only lv 3 is deflecting.
