Thought it would be fun to try and max out my out-going healing with wisdom; unfortunately it pales in comparison to that of healing classes.
Basically... 125 Wisdom = 2% outgoing heal
Assuming this scaled linearly, then we'd get 9.6% outgoing healing with 600 wisdom! Imagine all of those stats you'd be sacrificing to get a mere 10% outgoing healing. In comparison, a mini has roughly 20% outgoing healing with 600 wisdom at level 65 (http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?t=303068).
Unfortunately, this 9.6% isn't even the case. There's diminishing returns. 250 Wisdom = 3.7% outgoing heal. Even with 600 wisdom, we'd probably max out near 7.5% outgoing heal. Basically there's diminishing returns. I haven't gotten my willpower past 400 yet so it's hard to see where the limit reaches without doing any calcs... but suffice to say, it's not very high.
I'm disappointed. I remember Graal suggeseting that wisdom builds might be viable because it increased out-going healing, but in reality... the rewards are so marginal it's not even practical. It's too cookie cutter. I am not trying to suggest that we become big healers or anything. I just like the idea of flexibility. I was hoping I'd find some with increasing wisdom, but nope. Guess I'll have to look elsewhere.
