Why is Spell Damage not Spell Power and also effect Healing?

Healing seems often overlooked.

Classes can stack easily tons of armor this days but heal classes cant stack healing.

Damage effects get bonus from SPell POwer but Healing not even tho healing is much weaker then damage.

Since destroying minions with damage and preventing incoming damage is like healing but better.

Spell Damage should be Spell Power and also effect Healing.

WHat you think?

No, because we don’t need even more problem Priest builds

Healing can be affected by Spell Damage if you use cards like these:

You could make the argument that a few healing spells could get the “improved by Spell Damage” card text but making it that all healing is affected by Spell Damage would be a bad idea. That would create some very nasty Priest decks.

IIRC isn’t there a minion or something that if you healed this turn, deal that much damage to all minions/enemies?

I don’t know. I’m not that familiar with the Priest class.

Healing is a pointless mechanic in todays HS game. Why? There’s numerous decks that can take you from 30 to 0 in a turn now. So healing isn’t going to be a big deterent.

It’s very good when it’s not wasteful of mana. It’s usually in the form of lifesteal, eg the current meme pala survives a lot of the time because Holy Glowsticks has lifesteal.

It’s also part of why the russian doll demon hunter works, the boars have lifesteal.
