Cauterize does not self-heal

All the healing abilities in the game that heals "allies" can also heal yourself.

Grand Healing: "...healing allies in target area..." - This includes the caster, if the caster is in the circle.

Blessing of Protection: "...bless allies in front of you, healing them for..." - This heals the caster, too.

Steadfast Ward: "...protect whichever ally has the lowest health" - If the caster has the lowest health, it will ward them.

However, the new Cauterize skill for DK will never heal the caster, which is inconsistent with every other healing ability in the game. This makes the skill useless in solo play, and it also limits its effectiveness in group play, too.

    It's downright junk as it is. If it actually healed the caster it would have some use in certain scenarios. It should heal any ally (or party member) within it's range, including the caster, based off the lowest % of health. If it did something along those lines it would at least have a reason to slot it other then leveling it up out of some OCDesque complex. :/

    Absolutely useless.

    A single healing every 5 seconds is unreliable at best. It also offers nothing else than a heal. It's so underwhelming that I still wouldn't use it even if it could heal someone to full health.

    You can't use it solo.

    You can make sure it hits the right target.

    It doesn't buff you, just compare it to RR/Mutagen for the healing (much more reliable, 2 targets, better range) or Combat Prayer (AoE, reliable heal, multiple buffs).

    There's no word to say how complete crap this ability is.
