Crit Surge

Have seen a lot of hate for this skill recently. I do not argue (Sorc main here) that Sorcs need a lot of PvE love but the comments of "useless" , "needs replacing" and so on befuddle me a bit with this one. IMO with up to 3300 healing a second, 2% extra damage since it's a Sorc skill, 20% weapon/spell damage buff and a 30 sec timer it is one of the few stacked skills in the game that is actually balanced. Would I like to see a bit more power sure but the reason it's lasted so long as is , is it is stacked without being over powered. As the only "passive" heal sorcs have I don't want to see it go but am very curious as to why so many sorcs do.

    I like the skill a ton as is. Had no clue this is even a topic. The visual effect especially is sweet. The passives themselves including heal, the longer duration, and quick unawkward animation. All good stuff. Its probably a bigger part of why sorcs rotation feels smooth than most realize.

    Long term sorc main here - not heard any complaints about crit surge. What I have heard complaints about is the power surge morph. It's condition and cooldown make it way less useful than most other class AoE heals.

    Can't say I have seen any hate for it.

    For me it is one of the few skills from the Sorc, I am considering experimenting with for a few builds with sub classing.
