Astral Seal drops to 6 hp of free healing without it, which is still decent considering the strong de-buff that accompanies it. As for all the other healing powers? Well, it is unfortunate, although I'm not sure I would call it screwed over, the cleric is still far superior to the other leaders in the healing department. As for not-scaling? Lots of powers don't scale well, heck even Moment of Glory doesn't (although at low-levels that power is almost auto-win in an encounter). It doesn't require a specific build to take advantage of, its that no build takes better advantage of it over another, all builds (melee, healic, lazer, balanced) get the Wis mod to Healing Word. It sucks, but so does all errata, I know that Swarm Druids got eff'd over with the Hide Armor Expertise Nerf and any stun-locking wizards got hit hard as well. Anyone who was a Daggermaster/sorcerer or TS Half-elf one also got kicked down. Personally, I'm not crazy about ignoring errata.</blockquote>
