Well, after a full day of lots of Druids using Tunare's Renewal and no one posting a crit, it is pretty clear Healing Gift does not work.

Is this working as intenteded or just a bug. Please let us know, and if for some reason it is intentional, please explain why. Thanks.

Wish Verant would just come out and tells us point blank what focus and AA skills are intended to work and which arn't. AA points and items in game take a significant amount of time to get and once you spend those AA points or loot that no-drop item there is no going back.

The other thing I'd like to point out is, that mid/low level items such as the Odubus Death Shroud (or however it's spelled), things with Mana Pres III and Casting Haste III / Mage items are currently effecting TR. However, high level items, ie those we UPGRADE too from Vex Thal and other places have TR specifically excluded. So as a druid upgrades their gear to better stuff their healing spell becomes LESS effective. That seems so VERY VERY WRONG in a game of progression.

Anyway, love the new healing spell. But honestly, it seems like that extra month of "extensive" testing was wasted as there seems to be many commen sense issues with it.

Someone is pulling your leg to rile you up on this one. My ODS does nothing. I get no focus effects messages, neither IH3 nor MP3 nor SH3, from any of my items, when casting TR. While I will concede I have never checked out the mage focus effects on TR, given that there is no mage focus effect that works on a heal spell (the haste and MP from mage items are Detrimental spells only. The only Beneficial spell effect they have is the one that Extended Enhancement), it would be suprising if they work on TR (but not NT or CB).

Interesting, after I saw this post, I logged in and tested.

Thursday morning, my Sky Watcher's Monocle (Mana Pres 3) flickered each time I cast TR. Today, it doesn't. They must have "fixed" that in the emergency patch Thursday night to have it match the cleric cheal.

Also my spell haste 3 item no longer works with it either. Again, another fix.
