Very good talent to actually improve your heals. It works for -every- healing spell,as in lesser healing wave, healing wave & chain heal as well.

It seems that this actually works with the herbalism Lifeblood, causing it to heal for an additional 10%.

This also works with Nature's Guardian, causing it to actually heal for 11% of your health.

Comment by Abomb

i find this talent a waste because spending 5 talent points for only 10% more healing isnt worth it, plus cleanse spirit is unnecessary because of cure toxins curing both diseases and posions

Does this effect Healing Stream Totem as well?

Comment by Anansi

The WoWHead tooltip there says Purification reduces the cast time by 1 second, yet in game the tooltip says by .5 second. The .5 seems to be correct as my Healing Wave is a 2.3 second cast.

Is WoWHead wrong here or is there a bug in-game?

Comment by Fulgurah

Per a blue post by Nethaera, there will be a hot-fix incoming (around February 16) to increase the percentage on Purification from 10% to 25% (source). This is a healthy buff to Resto Shaman throughput.

Please note that the tooltip may not reflect this change until the next content patch.

Comment by Ashvael

This spell is getting buffed from 10% to 25% in an upcoming hotfix.

Shaman

We are also applying a hotfix for Purification for the Restoration shaman passive from 10% to 25%. We think that shaman healing per second is not as competitive with other healers and while we hoped to bring down Holy priest and Holy paladins (in particular) in 4.0.6, which we did, shaman still appear to be behind. In this case, it is simply easier to buff Restoration shaman rather than nerf everyone else or rebalance the encounters.

So I take it they didn't change the tooltip on this but the fix has been applied?
