Mad Priests on Madmortem

While playing around on the PTR, I noticed something quite interesting:

My GHeals were hitting harder than they do on live!

Now, since I was wearing the exact same gear (heck, where should I have gotten any different from?!) me doing 6k hits using only elixirs & a gold fish got me thinking… (Well, first it got me doublechecking what I can do on live ^^) And yes, obviously I was doing about 100-200 points more than I should be.

I can already hear people moaning “Oh, 150 healing, BIG DEAL….” – but first, 150 plusheal IS a big deal and second, there is a very interesting reason for it:

Spiritual Guidance.

Yup, that kind-of-crappy spirit booster from times, where spirit was absolutely useless. On live it grants you up to 25% of your total spirit in “spell damage and healing”. On the PTR (and in the beta, I assume) it does the same, but grants spell power.

Where is the difference you might ask?
Doing damage, there is none. But while healing spell power is granted a 1.88 coefficient over the old plusheal.

Ergo Spiritual Guidance accidentially got buffed by 88%!

And yeah, suuuuuuuuuure disc priests are going to be the best single target healers….
