Real 1.12 Patch Notes

[Bob the Beholder]

I am confused.

I always thought of the +30 spell damage enchant that it would only benefit damage and not healing. Now I'm reading that it should have a benefit to healing spells too. So why is it named spell damage and not 'spell damage & healing'?

The zandalarian shoulder enchantment with +18 to damage and healing has the correct wording for example.

I'm thinking of putting +30 spell damage on my fist of cenarius now...

Another thing that bugs me to no end is that equipment specifically designed for mages only has the wording +spell damage & healing on it too. Am I missing something, or does the polymorph spell benefit from that? Poor mages.

It is a bit goofy. But, then, it is Blizzard.

And I believe that Polymorph heals by a percentage of the target's health per tick, with no effect from +healing, so don't worry too much about it. :)
