Q:

Does outgoing healing effectiveness count self healing? So if I took monk runes would my heal skill give me 10% more health back or is it only healing done to allies that is increased?

Short answer. No.

Then why the heck do they some things say “outgoing healing” while others say “healing to allies” if they both mean that the bonus doesn’t affect you?

I dunno though, I can see how it could be taken that way. Any heal skill you use is “outgoing” in a sense, even if it’s bouncing back to you.

As opposed to Someone else using something like wave of healing or blasting a water field and it heals you.

I was assuming it wouldn’t myself, but taken one way “Outgoing heal” could be “Any heal you use” Though I suppose in that case, wouldn’t it be simpler just to make the skill an increase to healing power?

Not really. Just increasing healing power wouldn’t be as good. If an ability has a high base heal but bad scaling (like most healing abilities do) a percentage increase would be better. That way if you also stacked healing power it would be even stronger. That and any trait that grants you bonuses from your healing power would come into play when A net doesn’t want them to.

ANet and tooltips hehe… No consistency whatsoever.
