Overload Questions

Hey guys,

first: im not a nativer speaker, so im sorry if there are some grammar issues.

I have some question regarding overload (sorcerer ultimate), i hope some1 can help me out:

1. Does "Bound Armor" (11% more heavy attack damage) affect the heavy attacks of overload?
2. Are the heavy attacks of overload any worth? i hear all the time of 10-15k light attack overload, but if u are in range they are flying around like forever and can be easiyly reflected dodged. Furthermore i find it somehow clunky to light attack with overload, so i would like to focus more on the heavy attack aspect ( ive heard that heavy attacks doing every 0,5 sec dmg, is that true?)
3. If im using for example a 2-hand-mace and have champion points in "increasing heavy/light attacks with 2-hand-mace", does that affect overload if im starting it while on my 2-hand-mace bar?
4. Can the heavy attacks from overload crit and heal yourself with critical surge? (I know the light attacks can crit!)

Thank you guys, i hope you can help me out, i would really appreciate it !
The reason is im on PS4 EU, so i have no chance to test anything with damage numbers et.!

    i believe question (4) yes. 99% certain.

    but surely you can just test this yourself? you may get a better quality of answer in general by putting these questions in character and combat mechanics. I'm sure a mod can move this thread for you

    You can easily test it and get the answer by yourself. Overload does shock damage, so the answers are obvious for some of your questions...
