Confessions of a Toxic Elitist

I'm like 99% sure that there's no difference between healing and overhealing, ie you generate the same enmity on a 10k heal whether it's 100% overheal or is completely used to restore health, but it's been a long time since I've actually had to care about the minutiae of healer enmity because it is such a non-issue these days.

Regular heals generate 1.0x enmity, but overheals are 1.5x enmity generation. Generally, if your tank is paying attention, overhealing isn’t a big deal except in fights where boss aggro resets often (like V4S; WHM aggro so real in there after the Grand Crosses). Then you will want your healers to be careful about their overheal. Generally, though, you want to keep it to a minimum, since overheals are wastes anyways.

Overhealing and effective healing generate the same amount of hate. 1HP healed = 0.5 enmity.

A 10K heal generate 5K hate.
A 10K overheal that effectively heals for 0 will generates 5K hate.
A 10K heal that has 5K overheal and 5K effective heal will generate 5K hate.

Yes, this is exactly how I remembered it being.
