I read recently about "crit healing", in terms of healers, using restro staff and something with "crit" in connection with healing.
Could someone explain me how does crit apply to healing?

✭✭✭✭✭I think what people are talking about is that your spell crit applies to your heals as well as your damage. So as a magic based healer for example, your spell crit value should not be ignored. This is why many healers run a precise resto staff.
Or maybe I am way off. Haha. Not sure if there are sets that proc off of critically healing an ally. There certainly might be.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Criticals are 50% more output than standard. So, for healing your doing 150% of your normal healing.
Which means boosting Spell Criticals.
Julianos Crafted Set and Inner Light from the Mages Guild go a long way to getting you what you need. Add in the Light Armor bonuses, and you should have all the Critical Chance you need to get it to proc quite often.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

✭✭✭✭Okay, so you know how when you "crit" that means you do more damage right?
Well, when your heals "crit"... you do a bigger heal
This. But to branch off:
A critical heal is a healing ability that has caused (what amounts to negative damage actually, lol) some sort of return to your target's health that has become a critical strike. Critical strikes have a base modifier of 1.6
So, as an example. Let's say you are spamming 10k breath of lifes, non crit. Every so often (depending on your spell crit in this case, but not always) you will see a 16k breath of life heal. This is because your healing ability dealt critical damage.
The elfborn CP gives you a bonus to the "damage" of your critical spell strikes (the physical version is precise strikes). If you invested into that star, you could get even bigger heals from your critical spell strikes (including healing). Some abilities, classes, and passives also increase critical damage.

✭✭✭Go to Waywest sewers and farm a 5 piece Combat Physician set. Whenever you see a shield effect go on someone after casting a heal spell, that was a crit heal.
Then immediately destroy Combat Physician because that set is terrible.

And branching off some more:
A few patches ago it was understood that you want at least 50% crit chance before dumping into increasing the crit dmg multiplier. I do forget how often attacks crit at those percentage, but part of me feels like it means half of the healing/attacks I make will crit.
Templars/nightblades get an extra 10% to crit dmg as part of their class passives. So while all classes can get extra crit dmg numbering at between 22%-60%, the Templar and nightblade can get 22%-70%.
Edit:
Actually this is approved mentality regarding crit:
"In the Orsinium PTS, the Shadow mundus increases Critical Modifier by 12% and the Thief increases Critical Chance by 11%. Putting this values in, we get the following inequality
which means that Thief is better than Shadow if your Critical Modifier is at least ~10% greater than your Critical Chance."Edited by Minno on October 13, 2016 5:50PMMinno - DC - Forum-plar Extraordinaire
