Surge question

Since the change so that you get crit heals from both morphs (Critical Surge and Power Surge) what is the advantage over choosing Crit over Power?

    Power Surge buffs both spell and weapon damage and heals you on crits for 40℅ of the damage done (costs magicka). It can be replaced by Entropy (Mages Guild).
    Critical Surge buffs only weapon damage and heals you on crits for 50% of the damage done (costs stamina). It can be replaced by Momentum (2H).

    Surge is weaker than the other abilities granting the same buffs from other skill lines imo.

    Thank you for the reply,

    Currantly i'm specced with Crit Surge, looks like i'm going to have to change the morph if i want to continue using it, but as i'm destro specced and the two destro spells i use work off weapon damage, should i keep crit surge?
    Or have they changed that too?

    I have used Entropy in the past and found it a bit lack luster, i take it it's getting a buff?

    Just found your post on surge v entropy gonna give it a read

    Crit surge heals up to 60% of the critical hits damage, but still uses magicka. As for Entrophy not only does that skill provide the same damage buff, but it has the slight heal and mages guild passives supporting it.

    Destro scales off of spell dmg now. For the very high magicka cost compared to the alternatives, they really need to add some more buffs to Crit and Power Surge.
