Quote:Well this would be stupid, really stupid. They're going to gimp my raid healing gear so I can get a little +dmg on it? For soloing or DPSing I'd still be better off wearing real +dmg gear that I can get (blues or raid castoffs) than this.
Dumb, dumb, dumb. All this does is ruin the healing gear. This is the worst idea I've heard yet. I really hope this isn't what they have in mind.
No, I'm pretty sure they don't mean to make healing gear worse at healing. It means either one of two things. They abuse the ^(3/2) rule to have gear with the same amount of +healing and some +dmg mixed in (since +dmg adds to healing and the scaling factor of costs means eventually 1 point of +dmg is cheaper than 1 point of +healing). Or, the simply change +healing to give some minor, free, addition to damage as part of its core ability.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
