Drundia, thanks for the test. It's interesting that you found the opposite order of application from the downranking Empowered priests. But the mechanic for sub- lvl 20 spells might be entirely different from lvl 20 and up.

That's not my experience. I ran a brief test of max rank GHeal vs. rank 1 GHeal at 1654 +healing and 5/5 Emp Healing, and got an efficiency of 6.80 for max rank vs. 7.89 for rank 1. It's a significant difference, especially considering that rank 1 also benefits more from stuff like 2-piece Tier-5 set bonus, insightful earthstorm diamond procs, clearcast, and spellsurge if you have it.
