Ridiculous telling people to gear Vanya for spell speed.
1. Crit is worthless as a Healer...heck, sometimes Crit's can actually screw you over. Have 6 people in the party that need a heal of 300-500ish hp's? You think 'Medica', that'll do the trick and keep my hate in check expecting to not over-heal and end up crit-healing everyone...building up unecessary hate.
2. Spell Speed, your milliseconds add up over time...and it's not milliseconds of difference. It's hundreths of seconds. Over a long battle, I can get in way more skills/spells than you. My cooldowns AND cast times are lower. So I can land spells, when they need to land more often. It doesn't matter how much I heal the tank for, what matters most is that I keep the tank standing...even if he only has 1HP, 1HP=alive.
