This isn't necessarily true. Sometimes it is sometimes it isn't.

I'm sure you can find some posts about clerics in CH chains from velious that never got faction hits. Example:

EQClerics 2001

It seems that whenever I cast CH alone to heal someone in say icewell keep, I do not get the desired faction hit.

Is this a bug? working as intended? Somewhat annoying to have to A) land a spell or melee for more than 0 damage, or B) cast a non CHing heal, even tho the lvl 1 spell does the trick, who wants to waste a spell slot on that?

I've also noted this in Velious, not anywhere else. Heal people fighting, no faction loss (or gain, for that matter).
^This guy gets disagreed with on the "Velious only" clause

hm I dun get faction hits anywhere with CH.

I've been healin a warrior who's been kicking dwarfies at docks in BB no faction hits.
Quote:
I like to use Strike (Level one DD) to ensure faction hits.

Little mana, fast casting, low resists.

Healing alone has never caused a faction hit to my knowledge.
etc. Working as intended. You have to cast a spell or melee to get faction hits sometimes. Sometimes a heal is enough though.
