oops caster should have been monster
before, you got a damage boost from your int, this boost is displayed on the charm
then on top of that you got an "amp" boost based on how much higer your int is than the monsters

now you just get that first boost
so displayed damage stayed the same
damage dealt went down


ah ok i understand now

so int is just like str now

ultimatly i was right then if the bonus is gone you lose out on dmg. the help from reduced mana cost doesnt help during wells as you never run out of mana you run out of life.

so im assuming this is why my mage's avg heals in catas has dropped? or does this only affect dmg charms?

i dont think from the info presented that it this update has done anything to healers but boost the number of heals they can preform before they run out of mana.

the loss of the bonus given by having more intell then your target never applied to healing so i dont see how it could have been negatively effected by the patch.

i would assume the same, but numbers dont lie... i couldnt hit a 1k heal with that setup, which was always an easy accomplishment. my avg was ~650-700 and i had trouble hitting a 600 avg :/

hmm that would suck really really really bad... I was guessing that this patch would try and get more people to cata but if heals are nerfed it might not be so. Maybe someone can do a bit of testing here.

at face value nothing in the update should have affected your heals
the only thing i could think of is if paul screwed up and healing has to subtract magical defense
but I find that highly unlikely

doubt it. but like JB said it might be accidental or an overlooked mistake. I will see if our guilds healers can test a bit then repost info.
