Dev Input on Crit bonus please.

[Munter78]

<p>I thought they were looking into our crit bonus on wards?  As it stands, my heals crit for about 1.95 times their value, wards are around 1.55. </p><p>We all know wards come before heals in terms of parsing.  Ok, great...so we win the heal parse alot.   If you have a tank that is spiking hp, and then look at the parse....other healers will blow us away in the same group.   </p><p>All Im asking is for feedback on if they are continuing to look into giving the wards the same 1.30 crit base as heals, not this 1 + (.3+bonus)/2  thats currently going on.</p>

<p>I still think warders are unfairly maligned just because on the easy fights our wards show up first on a parse.</p><p>I fear that  the  answer to the complaint of crit bonus only half applying to our wards will be to make it half apply to our heals too the way its been going lately.</p>

<p>Oh I know its been a longer time, I just said it was a week since I first posted in here.   Hopefully they patch it in with GU56, but I doubt anything will ever come of it. </p>

<p>You expected a Dev response . . . here?  I mean, seriously?  I can't remember the last time an actual Dev had anything to say in this forum.</p>
