That Scholar Spell speed weight though! Its pretty incredible how high secondaries are worth, compared to DPS classes on Scholar. More proof that SS is a better option than Det for SCH. I wonder if Dervy tested this WHILE spamming embrace, since proccing the enhanced pet action trait would directly affect Crit and Spell Speed.

I will just quote what he posted.

Healer Weights are calculated PURELY for full time DPS. For science only; take these weights with a grain of salt. These weights do not take into account Mana consumption, or ANY form of healing/shielding. If you’re going to be hybrid healing/shielding, I’d recommend prioritising Crit over any of the other secondaries (with the exception of accuracy).

The reason why the Scholars SS weighting is high, is that roughly 51% of its overall DPS is coming from DoTs. So not only is SS buffing your DPS exponentially due to how it affects your GCD/Casts, but its value is being amplified by also increasing directly affecting 50% of your total PPS via DoTs.

Also, the weighting scholar DPS varies a lot depending on the rotation you use for some reason. It could be an error with my model somewhere handling clipped dots though. Letting your DoTs completely drop, rather than clipping them, boosts the SS weight by 0.5. This is something I’ll be looking into and trying to figure out and does look like it to be a DPS gain, over clipping them.

These weights only take into account DPS. Dervy has said in the past that Crit may not be as useful for some healers because of the inconsistent nature of Crit for healing and overhealing. I think it is important to not take what Dervy posted out of context, but I am pretty sure that is going to happen anyway.

Read again. He specifically says "If you’re going to be hybrid healing/shielding, I’d recommend prioritising Crit over any of the other secondaries (with the exception of accuracy)." In other words, despite pure DPS weights showing for example SpS having higher weight than Crit for SCH, he still recommends prioritising Crit if the healer not only does DPS but also heals and shields. And this recommendation does not only apply to SCH.

I think you misunderstood my post. I will always prioritize crit over spell speed, so long as I am avoiding determination. It my be a stat weight DPS loss, but it's a heal gain, which is a dps gain.
