- basing healing/mana recovery on damage from next attack will work when I heal between fights how? This could/should definately be added to Curse though.
- 5% of damage converted to healing is not enough to make any difference. 3000pt crit = 150 health bump/reduction. humm
- resurrection in any form will never happen. Period.



- Cool down is way too long for a single burst heal, especially when Shield is offline for an extended period as well. Either cool down needs to get hacked or Regrowth buffed greatly.
- A simple multiplier of INT stat might work for hp/mana recovered, say 3x for initial heal and 0.5 INT stat per second for 6sec with Regrowth. Something similar for mana recovery.

It doesn't need a fix for pve as pots are more effective. Anyone specing heal for endgame pve is handicapping the party by being cheap rather than offensive.

I know lol but as support mage I like lifegiver. As offensive mage I go with lighting, ice, fire and clock (my current spec)

Cool down is still way too slow to make a dent in pots used so the best defense is a good offensive. If the cool down gets hacked then it might actually become useful.
