What good is a healing proc?

[Stavenh]

Wht good is a healing proc for when you get hit? Certainly, many mages feel that a healing proc that goes off when you get hit on a robe is useless, we don't want to get hit!Ah, but it seems it's not just when you get hit, it's when you take damage. Certainly it can go off when you use manastone, I've seen it do so. Well, I suspect it will go off when you do a health to power converstion. Also when you take spell or AE damage. This makes the new imbued robes much more valuable then before. Now I plan to get one.

I have the imbued chestpiece over 2 weeks and I must say it rocks. What I found is, it doesnt proc that much when I get hit by melee , but it goes of alot when I get hit by a spell. The proc says it's like 5% chance to get healed but it seems to me it is more like 5% chance when hit by melee and 50% chance when hit by spell. I realy like it.

I'll stick with 20 extra mana regen from my robe of the invoker.
