Patch	Changes
October 04, 2022	Reduced healing conversion percentage from 10% to 7% in WvW.
June 28, 2022	This trait now stores self-applied healing while in combat and expends all stored healing at each 3-second interval to heal nearby allies. This trait now functions with healing-over-time effects such as Regeneration, Big Boomer, Backpack Regenerator, and Rectifier Signet. To account for healing-over-time effects now activating this trait, the percentage of healing stored from each heal has been reduced from 50% to 33% in PvE, 25% to 17% in PvP, and 15% to 10% in WvW.
March 29, 2022	Reduced heal share percentage from 25% to 15% in WvW only.
February 25, 2020	Competitive content update: (Competitive split) Reduced heal share percentage from 50% to 25%.
May 08, 2018	Increased the amount the player heals allies from 20% to 50% of the amount the player is healed.
January 26, 2016	The radius of this trait has been increased from 240 to 360.
September 29, 2015	Reworked this trait. The internal cooldown has been removed. This trait is now only triggered by your own healing, and the percentage has been increased from 12% to 20%.
June 23, 2015	Specialization update: Medical Dispersion Field has been added to the game.
