I have a ton more SP today, even the gimpiest melees are now running around with 30% heal amp (which 98% didn't have before U14), and my heals work just fine.

I have no problems so far keeping my party members up AND having plenty of SP to nuke.

Most quests have a ton of shrines too.

I understand that the "numbers" are smaller, but I never looked at heal numbers before U14, and I don't look at them now.

Now blade barrier numbers being smaller you can complain about... That's a nerf. but healing is still easy.. The actual numbers for healing just don't matter that much. What matters is the results.
Thats a cute mary poppins-ish take on it.

I care about numbers. They tell me whether I need that next tier of life magic to heal myself right up. They tell me whether I need to even slot a devotion Item or can get away with decent amp a ghetto pot and my enhancements points. They tell me what I can do and what I cannot. In game experience trumps it but having a good understanding on what areas I can scrimp on too improve my character elsewhere means alot in the big picture. To anyone who loves their divines anyway. I have seen some of ur build posts and the ones you obviously love go into alot more detail than 'Who cares about the numbers - it works fine'. Do you have the weak/inefficient/ crit healing line too? Most of the peeps I see posting similar comments may have divines in the stable but arnt really divine players.

Keep on advocating.
