Does Restoration Expert passive increasing healing on self or only on allies?

Jayman1000

The description says it increases healing by 8% on allies below 30% health. Does this include yourself, or only on Allies? If taken literally it does not apply to self, but you never know with these abilities unless you actually know of course. And I don't so... do you? Can you help please? Thanks.

Additionally, while having Restoration staff equipped, does ANY of the Restoration passives benefit Templar heals at all?

Does anyone know this and can help?

The usual phrasing is, "increases healing done," applies to heals you do, regardless of the target. So Major/Minor Mending will increase your outgoing heals. This should include all of the restoration passives.

If the phrase is, "healing received," (such as Major/Minor Vitality) that affects heals which are applied to you regardless of their source.

EDIT: and yes, self heals (should) benefit from both.

Ah ok thanks. So the term "Allies" does include our own character in respect to the Restoration passive "Restoration Expert"?

Yeah. Allies usually refers to friendly characters in your general vicinity (including yourself), and it's distinct from group members, which only affect players who've grouped up with you. For example, most heals affect allies, while most of the raid sets (Ebon, Sanctuary, Worm, and Hircine's) only affect players who are actually in a group with you.
