Eov/fodg are not healing, they are lifetaps and belong in the lifetap/utility tree and it's a 13pts ability for sure (but if they want to move it to 9pts in right tree I'm not gonna complain).
And should really be more dmg focused and worse unless you gear into dps.

Then move the Silence to core or 13pts OR create a 13pts ability that let's you switch Mechanic stacks or something.

Factually wrong, both have a flat heal on them and the healing is not just generated by the damage. Only the damage part is a lifetap.

I'm very aware of how it works, it's a "lifetap" because you have to hit an enemy to heal, unlike say your group heal.
And last I checked the dmg part *without tactic* also counts as a heal.

Personally, I'd hope to see a similar mechanic on balance essence, to finally make use of the AMs class mechanic while healing without ww.

You can, just put on int gear.. it's bad enough on EoV (but at least that needs WW), if they did this they might as well remove the mechanic and just give AM/SHMs permanent 40% cast speed/AP reduction as you'll be doing 0 damage anyway.

I'm currently trying an Intelligence based lifetap shaman. It's, underwhelming, but I'm new to the fake dps Shaman.

If anyone have time you can please put Balance essence and I’ll take that on bug tracker since they no longer are cast on move with mechanic

Only EOV and FoG is marked in notes to loose that

The fact that knight will remove 2 enchantments plus damage per gcd when under wings = rip shaman healer

Question regarding engineers friction burn turned into melee attack: will ballistic skill provide parry strike through for it then?
I guess it will be parried by everyone and his dog otherwise.

I read it like this: it uses Ballistic, but counts as melee with Parry counter - so Parry strikethrough -> yes.

And what about "Spanner Swipe", its also a melee attack, which can be dodged atm. It should changed like Friction Burn, too.

Squig Herder:
- Shootin’ Wif Da Wind - Reverted to live version 1.4.8 and modified to +15 feet range for Quick Shootin’ abilities.

The 1.4.8 live version was +50% feet range to Quick Shootin' abilities resulting in 98ft (tool tip rounding) instead of 65ft+15ft range.
