Default Healing Burst >> Healer's Boon when with UA:why

I mimicry-ed UA today and used it with Healing Burst+D-Kiss.

It healed for 83 (16 DF) on the entire party on 4 cooldown.

Bug or feature? I've tried this in the past and the Health gain from Healing Burst was always unaffected.



I got the idea from: Drop Patient Spirit from wiki build, wear enchanting spear. I usually run Gift of health+dismiss, but this makes it look bad in terms of pure heal ability.

edit: tried spirit bond/healing seed, but it doesn't get boosted and neither does heal from Smiter's Boon. Draw conditions does get boosted as well.

They must have changed it sometime between now and when burst was updated. I kind of remember we tested this before and the DF didn't get the UA bonus.

Confirmed, great catch LifeInfusion, I hope they keep it this way

At 11 Divine, party gets healed for 52 health, every 4 seconds if needed. A few reasons why I like this better than the Healers Boon+UA combo (Healing Burst+Selfless Spirit vs Healer's Boon+GoLE+HealParty ):

MUCH less energy requirement (5e+5e vs HBoon 5e/~45secs+5e+15e),
Less casting time (.25+.75secs vs 1+2secs) *great for emergencies
Bar compression (2 skills vs 3) *esp. important for monks

Not as much spike party healing, but much more spammable AND need reliable

I could have sworn that HBurst did this the very first time I tested it, but people thought I was crazy.

I did the same thing last year (~Nov 2010) for Mallyx instead of running WoH... so no it didn't do this before

edit: a downside is scourge healing HURTS badly. During the ZB today (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Havok...(Zaishen_quest)) I had to use Divine Healing only because Scourge Healing x5 or x7 from Healing Burst sucks (Scourge Vaettir have 20 Smiting so it's 102 damage per person healed).

You can't cast Healing Burst under Shame either but Heal Party costs so much more energy that it doesn't matter to me when I have Divine Healing +Heaven's Delight on my Healing Burst bar.

How do you think this backline would be for general HM use?
