<DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was rather disappionted today to find out the Herbal Expertise AA is completely broken. I have noticed on every other AA that when you get a modification to an existing ability you can see the changes in the spell/ability after you get the point. Today after my Fae toon ran all over the place I finally had enough AP to bump the first notch of Herbal Expertise. The description on the AP says it improves casting speed by 12.5%, recast and reuse timers by 4% and reduces power costs by 6% on my "primary heal" spells. While it was a bit vague I wanted to be a better healer so went for this exclusively after pumping my Spirit of the Wolf. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Before taking the point I wrote down the stats for a number of heal spells to see which get the benefit.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Replenish</DIV> <DIV>Power : 62 Casting time 2.0 Recast 5.0 Duration 6.0</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Healing Ritual</DIV> <DIV>Power : 87 Casting time 3.0 Recast 10.0 Duration 12.0</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ghostly Ward</DIV> <DIV>Power : 61 Casting time 2.0 Recast 6.0 Duration 30.0</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Breath of Spirits</DIV> <DIV>Power : 87 Casting time 3.0 Recast 7.5 Duration 12.0</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>After putting in a point I noticed no improvement in any stats on the spells and after doing some digging found a couple of posts FROM JUNE OF 2006 saying it may be broken. I double checked in my UI even to see if the effect was applied "outside" of casting and my Replenish before the AA cost 62 power and know costs and amazing 62 power still. All I'm looking for here is a boost to my healing skills is that so hard to do for a healer?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyone else have any experience with this AA and seen any positive uses?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by Neveryll on <span class=date_text>12-29-2006</span> <span class=time_text>04:38 PM</span>
