Is Mind really more useful than Crit for a SCH?

Buy or craft a (Hi/X-)Potion of Mind.

You'll get +30 or +67 Mind (NQ potions) iirc

Spam Physics or Adloqs.
Write down the values.

After the potion buff is gone, spam Physics or Adloqs.
Write down these values too.


Compare them.


I did this "experiment" like 5 times, and the difference in healing potency has been VERY minor, sometimes it doesn't seem to make any difference at all.

It seems healing spells, even when they do NOT crit, have a very high variance, which can be +-200 HP or maybe even more.
That +30 Mind does NOT translate into a +200 HP heal, not even close to that.

Sure, more Mind means that the average HP healed will be a bit higher, but with so much variance, you may not be able to notice any difference at all on your heals.

Critical hits, on the other hand... they do make a huge difference for Adloqs. I'd say it's better than raw mind for a SCH.

Thoughts?
