Default Aoe Healing Gems and Epic Heal Gems
Okay, let's see. DoT's exist. DD's exist. Aoe DD's exist.

Not sure if AoE DoT's exist (perhaps with skills? I'm not much of a caster)

So then...where's the AoE Healing Gems?

Epic gems exist for DD's. Epic gems exist for DoT's. Epic gems exist for Aoe DD's.

Where's the Epic Healing Gems?

If the logic is that DD casters can crit up to 3k on EVERYONE, so that they can defend themselves since they are by nature low in defence, then what sort of defence do healing casters have? It would only make since that if a caster who is offencive can do 3k dmg to all of his foes that there would exist a healer who could heal 3k to his allies right?

I may be biased, however, since I have grouped with a healer my entire time here on Nod. Just seeing 3k to everyone without any way of outhealing it makes me wonder what exactly is the role of defence for healers here?Or is this game supposed to be all about damage output?

Also, a side note, with the Arena now released, it would only make logic sense to have group healing gems

-Dest

EDIT:I'm not even going to mention the fact that offensive gems can crit, whereas no healing gem can.

EDIT #2:If no Aoe Healing Gems will be introduced, at least buff the Yellow Snow to 1% per level.

also make heals able to crit please maybe give them a range instead of steady damage so that noncaster healers dont get too OP by them

We believe these are working as intended.

I am self biased naturally being a healer char,but I agree.
As far as I am aware,healing gems are single-use only.

The best healing gem is regrowth in term of amount. It can heal up to 990 without skills.
With the proper healing skill,this is increased to 40%. Assume priest class,this goes up to 55%.
For a total of 990+544.5 = 1,534 hp over 45 seconds. (34 hp/s,not sure what per tick).

The best single use gem is 550 hp.Assuming priest class bonus+heal skill are max,then
a bonus of +303 hp added.

For a total of 550 + 303 = 853 hp single heal.


...While this mean seem a lot,the mana cost and energy costs are not cheap.
But to the point,DD casters have the ability to multi-target 2k+ damage. No epic healing gems exist as mentioned,nor any 100% multi-target ones either. The skill Yellow snow does exist,but it is unreliable as anyone knows. Holy crutch could be useful,but +20% would not raise the standard.

In certain mmo's,healing can crit.

-Also if you plan to work on healers,multiple rank,-in battle ress gems would be appreciated.Current ress gem is not very use-able.
