Generally better types of armor are much, much better so you want to use the best type you have access to, and not say use cloth in place of the chain you could wear.

I don't believe magical power adjusts healing rates (which is lame), someone correct me if wrong, but would be interesting to see how (or if!) wearing cloth in pve would assist a healer via mana regeneration.

Thanks for the link, it's shows pretty well why my little mage/sorc was getting rocked by melee damage to the point of me kiting everything.

You are correct that Magic Boost does not increase healing, but it doesn't seem to matter much. Damage output and damage mitigation progress at similar rates, so healing staying the same makes sense. Also keep in mind that in 1.5 damage is just flat reduced by 40% in PvP (compared to 20% now) - not that that changes scaling, but you can compare to PvE.

Suppose the only healing buff is the cleric line of self healing boost, unless I've missed something.

So far there are no stats that increase healing.

On the other hand when you enchant an item, a +10 item level 10 will be better than most level 18-20 weapons you find in terms of damage 9 perhaps not stats though).

On my glad had my halbred +10 and Its damage output was equal to that of a green level 17 item.

As far as I know, yes.

It's a different way of handling comparative progression and requires a change of mindset to accept - healers have to focus on survivability and endurance because there is nothing else to focus on.

That should be interesting. Healres could (in theory) focus on damage output.

[Drakhon]

I suppose, but it wouldn't be good damage even so.

Except if you don't focus on survival stats, mostly HP, your gonna get rocked.

Healers and SM alike are HP stat classes when it comes to socketing ( for PVP that is)
