The blues didn't say 15% once. Joe did. Like I wrote, the real impact of the change is a 13.6% increase. The fact is that the baseline modifier was 1.1, and as such, all future changes should be compared to it, or the modifier that preceded it.

Otherwise, what are we comparing to? Elemental healing strength?

I'm taking issue with the fact that referring to the modifier change the way it is isn't communicating useful information. What if the base modifier was 1.85? Would describing the change in terms of 15% be anything meaningful when in reality it was actually 8% change over the former state of the game?

Discussing the modifier change in terms of base healing is pointless. Context matters.
