Questions about Incoming Heal Reduction

Does Incoming Heal Reduction also lower lifesteal?

No. Lifesteal, the HP you absorb when your attacks hit, does not use the Incoming Heal stat. So Incoming Heal Reduction does not lower it. Buffs that raise Incoming Heal do not raise it either.
Is healing lower in the Abyss and other PvP zones?

Yes. In the Abyss and the Arena, a debuff lowers the healing that players receive there.
Can Incoming Heal Reduction be removed?

Sometimes. Poison also lowers Incoming Heal. A Healing Potion or a cleansing skill removes Poison, and its heal cut ends with it. Defiance does not remove a heal cut. It only frees you from control effects like Stun.
Does Incoming Heal Reduction also lower potion healing?

Not by itself. HP Potions use their own stat, HP Potion Recovery. Incoming Heal covers HP restored by skills. A few debuffs lower both stats, and their text names both. Poison is one of them.
