What is this 200% bonus i have been reading about?

[Deleted]

I haven't read anything about any change in any patch notes, yet some people have been talking about a 200% healing something if you crit? Can somebody explain?

When heals crit, they did 150% of their healing, so 20k healing would do 30k on a crit. Now it is 200%, a crit does 2x healing, so instead of 20k critting for 30k, it crits for 40k.

When you crit with a heal you get 100% extra healing instead of only 50%. This is to mirror the 100% extra damage from DPS classes.

Explained.

Oooh ok. This seems very nice I think i will go for more crit now.

Yea its a lot better, its kinda like;

Crit gives you free extra HPS - but it is random
Haste gives you extra HPS as a static boost - but at a cost (extra mana)

I suggest you go check some guide still what stat to get and how to balance them etc. (I don't play a priest so i dont know if crit is really good or bad for them)

In the case of resto shamans at least, crits gives mana. So if you're a resto shaman, it's not that bad.

Haste seems to still be better simply for the fact that it's guaranteed output and completely devoid of RNG.

You do not want to go for more crit, afaik it's still the worst stat because of its RNG. 200% crit heals are just a nice bonus for when you do crit.

I'd put crit in par, or slightly better than mastery for disc with a standard play style (NOT SHIELD SPAMMING)

People think shield spamming still exists? It was dead even before the nerf to innervate/mana tide.
