    Every heal you mention except AS can crit. You just haven't been looking hard enough :)

    I'm at 41% crit with no party, but the main reason I maxed crit was divinity gain.

    Heh, kinda funny how someone with 10k GS has no idea how his own class works. :D Then again I'd blame Cryptic for that. When you put relatively expensive respec option into MMORPG game, not as many people are that eager to theorycraft & test stuff instead of relying on info from others.
    With that being said, on top of the above mentioned reasons, your heals scale kinda badly with wisdom and power, atleast when compared with the option of crit stacking and advantages it gives.

    The heals from Astral Seal can crit too.

    Forgemaster's Flame - Crits
    Sun Burst - Crits
    Astral Seal - Crits
    Healing Word - Crits (very useful for a few boss fights)
    Repurpose Soul - Healing from Crits
    Divinity - Gain more from Crits

    Bastion of Health... who cares?

    ^ this.

    it's also worth mentioning that crits work differently in this game than any other MMO: if the initial hit/tick of your damage/heal-over-time spell crits, every subsequent damage/healing portion of the spell will crit. this goes for AoEs that have multiple parts (such as flamestrike): if one part crits, the entire spell will crit.

    I don't get it ... you maxed crit for a 10% extra DP on damage? ... That's 1 spell gained every 10 crits ... It sounds terrible.
    I don't have any problem to build DP btw.
    I always hear this, that you need to go crit because of feats, but we only have 2 crit feats and both are terrible. (repurpose soul heals for 400-700 ... that's one or two ticks from astral shield, who cares?)

    I don't say that crit is useless for heals, i got 31% crit unbuff (power/recovery gear but 25 str) and it's always nice when healing word crit, but for me, it's more a pvp stat against spike. For pve, it doesn't matter if your boh/ff/hw crit when you want to burst heal someone, he will be full hp anw with pots, HG and AS.

    A crit Sunburst is nearly a full DP bar. And each one of those crits procs Repurpose Soul. You can laugh at the 400-700 heal, except it's constantly going off for me.

    You made a thread and asked a question, and a few of us have answered it. You can think the crit feats are terrible, but they're really 2 of the best feats we have IMO

    They might be light on impact but well, that's all we have to work with.
