The Healer Double Standard

[Semirhage]

That was mostly just the coding, as healing abilities were not considered the same as healing spells. Though I'd kill for that 33% max HP guarantee on a Lustrate these days, because it feels like more than you can actually heal with it.

That was a different design quirk. Lustrate used to heal a flat percentage (25%) of the target's HP, so it didn't have a potency that could be adjusted by Cleric Stance or nerfed by healing potency down debuffs. It was essentially the 1000 Needles of healing spells.
