Dark Empathy? That would be considered a lifetap I believe, and follow a different code path (not direct heals).

Sorry yes, Dark Empathy, the one where you lose some life and heal someone else. I get the healing messages from that on my target.

1. Should any 'heal over time' spells generate messages? Celestial Healing for example currently displays 'You have healed name for X points of damage.' Not sure if that should be the case and a quick search didn't provide evidence.

Looked through many additional logs and found no evidence of this. I don't believe the healing 'ticks' displayed messages.

How about buffs that provide hitpoints - should they report healing amounts? For example casting courage, daring, or valor? I don't recall a Deepwater Helm providing a message of how much it was healing for, just that I felt "daring." These logs seem to support that:

I know we don't like going off memories - but I'm pretty sure I remember casting on myself and looking at the HP change to see how much my new buffs / heals did. I remember being excited when my heal finally said "soandso feels much better" (as opposed to better / little better) because I dinged and got Healing.

I know you have them, but I'll see if I find anything pertinent in my logs.
