Is there a reason a hefty chunk of SCH heals are unaffected by buffs

Even if the heal bonus was reduced, I'd be happy if for no other reason than to even things out. It seems as if it would help in balancing the classes in general if the dev team didn't have to consider how much healing was done by what kind of source.

Largesse already had its output cut by 33% and its cooldown increased by 50%; I'd rather not see more nerfs to it, personally. FI's 10% also doesn't strike me as something overly powerful...

FWIW, I've never really seen anything like "Well SCH's so powerful, that's why defiance doesn't affect healing abilities" from the dev team. I think it's just been an incidental mechanic... that used to just not really matter much. And when lustrate was % based, defiance would boost healing received by boosting the warrior's HP.

Yeah, that's what I think too. At one point Warriors had Bloodbath and they probably didn't want *that* getting boosted, hence the mechanic. Now it's effectively just something that's left over from back then because it's never gotten high enough up the priority list for someone on the dev team to put time into it.

At least, that's my theory.
