Heal over time cards (soothing darkness, healing blessing) have a hidden drawback: they don't interact with heal booster traits (talented healer, healing spirit) what makes them a poor alternative to traditional heals. I don't think it makes much sense and i propose to make them heal 1 instantly in addition to the heal over time effect.
Pretty sure when you play Soothing Darkness it does trigger Talented Healer. Haven't tested very recently. Anyone know for sure?
I just checked, and it does trigger Talented Healer. However, Soothing Darkness is such an awful card that it certainly wouldn't hurt to add a Heal 1 upon casting.
i think its fine, think about what unique thing healing blessing and soothing darkness accomplish in combination with talented healer: its cantrip attaching or put differently, cantrip pushing off traits. Tried to work that into a impetous blast /fright build but i somewhat realized theres not really prospect for such a build with only two blasts and two frights on a wizard.
