Quote:It was mentioned on the EJ forums, and I confirmed it last night. 8/8 EF changes your healing wave to heal three people, for a 25% boost to healing on any kind of splash damage fight. Each person healed has a chance to proc the 5/8 mana surge bonus of 35%. If you hit 3 people, you get a 58% chance to proc surge, which over time is a 20% reduction in the cost of healing wave.
There's no way for a dopey lightning shield to compare to that.
I was wondering about that, was also wondering if the jump would apply the healing way buff (if you have the talent) to people as well. Not that that is a huge benefit but if you can stack that buff on 3 people with one cast it's just another side benefit.
I'd heard debates that even without the set bonuses that Ten Storms was worse than EF anyway.
The plus healing number is the sum of +healing and +damage/healing. The +damage is just the damage/healing.

The reasons I heard are that most of the resists are irrelevant or negligable. And that losing 8 mana/5 and 7 spirit was not made up for with 23 more healing and 9 int. The fight only has to last 84 seconds before the mana/5 makes up for the lost int.
