Are these 4 tactics all implemented the same? Zealot/RP/DoK/WP

  • Zealot: Direct healing grants AP to your target. As written, this would imply that any direct healing you do might grant AP to your currently selected target (we'll assume friendly target...)
  • Rune Priest: Healing abilities grant AP to your target. This implies that it triggers when any healing ability is used/cast which would mean once per cast for group heals, but would also trigger when casting HoTs. This would also mean that the healing master rune could only grant AP when cast and not per tick. Like the Zealot one, it says the affected player is your target.
  • Disciple of Khaine: Direct healing grants AP to the ally. This implies that the person who was directly healed is the person who gets the AP, unlike the Zealot/Rune Priest version which imply that the current target gets the AP.
  • Warrior Priest: Healing grants AP to the ally. This uses the most generic term possible "Healing", which could be on heal tick, direct heals, heal cast, etc. Like the DoK one, the wording implies that the person healed gets the AP, as opposed to the Zealot/Rune Priest version where your current target gets the AP.
I had always assumed that these 4 tactics were identical but upon closer inspection they have different wording on when/how they trigger. Are they actually implemented in the same way behind the scenes and if so, which version is correct? Each tactic has a 25% chance of granting 50 AP to someone and does not work on the player who has the tactic slotted, but the person it affects and how it triggers varies between the 4 tactics. I do not know if this is just the WAR tooltips being vague as usual or if there are actual legitimate implementation differences. The game's use of "ally" and "target" is very inconsistent with ability tooltips; sometimes it really does mean your current target (Aid weapon procs), sometimes it means the person who actually received the direct healing.

How do these 4 tactics actually work?

I believe we tested the WP tactic with the AoE hot and ST hot and found neither applied the AP pump.
