Inquisitor - 51 point build gives 30% more damage on all spells compared to 36 point or less builds. Cabalist - 51 point build gives 30% more damage on all spells compared to 36 point or less builds. Warden - 51 point build gives 54% more healing from HoT's compared to 36 point or less builds. Druid - 51 point build gives 150% more bonus spell damage on pet attacks over 36 point or less builds. Purifier - 51 point build gives 30% more absorb on all shielding spells over 36 point or less builds. Sentinel - 51 point build gives 45% more spell power bonus for healing invocation (okay it;s a PvE heal, but still!!!) over 36 point or less builds. Shaman - 51 point build gives 60% more damage on massive blow and also 15% more attack power bonus on massive blow over 36 point or less builds. Justicar - No advantages for going beyond 36 points as of yet. Seems like there will be a lot of 51 point Clerics running around.
This is kinda wrong it increases the spell power bonus for our HoT's by 54% This doesn't result in 54% more healing from HoT's tho (sadly enough) I did some testing with a 42 point spec and based on that I calculated what 51 spec would give me: --------------------------------36 talent points--------------42 talent points------------------51 talent points Healing Spray ---------------------122/tick --------------------131/tick ------------------------ 144/tick Soothing Stream (1 stack) -------71/tick ----------------------83/tick -------------------------101/tick Healing Current -------------381 + 54/tick-------------- 450 + 63/tick ------------------ 555 + 78/tick Healing Flood ---------------------- 90/tick --------------------100/tick ------------------------ 115/tick Some spells clearly get affected more by Spell Power than others but overal I'd say it's a 15-20% increase on HoT healing. Wich is still very nice. I have no idea about the other soul benefits but thought I'd share this as it might be helpful for some.
Whew, it's not as bad as I thought then. Still though, 15~20% is still a huge margin when it comes to healing output.
