Paladin talent - NOT working as intented (Conviction)


After reading around on forums I have stumpled over a pretty big mistake in either the talent or the talent tooltip of Conviction in the Holy paladin tree.

Conviction Rank 3
Gives you a 3% bonus to damage and healing for 15 sec after causing a critical effect from a weapon swing, spell, or ability. This effect stacks up to 3 times.


The tooltip clearly states that it increases your healin done by 3/6/9% on youself AND on other targets, as it does no state that it is only on yourself. Now after i read about this on some forums I decided to test this myself and came to the conclusion that Conviction does not affect your healing done to your targets, but only to yourself.
All these tests are done with the talent points of the screenshot below without Divinity and I do not have any sort of other healing taken bonus on me of any sort.

I have tried this on players with no healing taken bonus aswell with exactly the same result.
The conclusion of this is weather the tooltip is showing wrong, or the talent isnt working correctly. It would be very appriciated if we can get a blue post on this matter as holy paladins will read this and test it themselves, and find that the talent currently is completly useless for holy paladins.

CheersI shall be keeping an eye on this thread as Im also interested - its had a bit of attention in the community. People have stated that GMs told them its working as intended, and other people saying GMs told them its a bug. It MUST be either a tooltip error or mechanic error, its just a question of which, and when its likely to be fixed.Its true I just tested this, and its bugged, or perhaps its just like when holy light stopped working on beacon target, intended fix, anyway Im gonna respec again since this talent is worthless.Thank you for your report Mysteel and you can also post in our bug reporting sticky should you find anything that you feel is not working as it should. :)
