How are you people getting AF2 given that it's not even in the game yet?

:P

everyone has different terms for gear AF2 is what some people use for myth gear because it looks like AF armor but colored different.

I think you are relating to the next content patch (2.2). As far as i know they will introduce new Tomestones for the new gear. Which means it's probably irrelevant to save up mythos.

From my post:

But wait, PvP will probably also raise and you'll save whatever the myth equivalent of iLvl whatever using the wolf marks.

What I meant to say (though it's probably not as clear) was that if they raise the iLvl and you can purchase new gear with those new tomes they're planning on releasing (my "myth equivalent"), then it's likely there will be a PvP item of equal iLvl and some items might have preferable stats.

Yeah, i could've misread your post :|. However, they could introduce new PvP-Items later on and not immediately with 2.2. Well, let's wait and see what will come with 2.2^^

How'd you get 560 crit? I equipped all of those and got 550. typo?

I know, my question was strictly to point out the issue :P
Once AF2 is introduced into the game in the coming updates, it will be important for players not to refer to the gear bought with myth tomes as AF2, as this will cause a lot of confusion in the playerbase. It's best to break habits before they become a problem meow. ^-^

What is your base Physic heal for? Base Adlo? Are you able to hit a 2K shield going full crit build on a non-WAR, no Eos buff or Convalescence?

Are you really willing to trade heal potency for a slightly better chance to crit shield (the only reason for this build), eating mana and never guaranteed to actually crit when you need it to save your target?

Thats a question, I did also think over. All that "what is BiS" talking is based on static benchmarks like on traning puppys or selfhealing for some time without any real fight.

For example look at T4, the first DN, when it eats all 4 bugs. Beside his autoattack it does something like a cleave. Sometime both hit nearly the same time. Sometime they crit the same time. When this happens (sometimes the next crit pack is not fare away), the pala tank can loose around 6000 HP nearly instant. So whats to do? The tank has to get topped the whole fight. Keeping up Adlo eats to much mana. To keep someone topped, you need heals that will be there for sure. So that can be only done by maxing out the base heal. Skilling to crit will make wipe or win to much based on luck in my eyes. Also crits will be the most time useless overheal.

Well, yes sometimes the crits can kinda frighten you, but apparently you forget some things.

1. You are not healing alone and if you can trust the other healer you'll never have problems.
2. There are some things to reduce incoming damage (e.g.: Virus; Eye for an Eye; Adloq pre-cast, etc.)
3. Panic-Button-Lustrate will save the day

Not to mention, that - in my opinion - +100 Heal on Physick (and that is quite high calculated) won't save the tank. Plus I am not running out of mana even if I'm overusing Adloq - which I am to be honest^^.

On a side note - to answer the one you quoted: I'm critting with Adloq for 1020 (sometimes more sometimes less; never seen a crit below 1k for quite sometime) on a PLD without buffs.

Astral Bracelet may be a better choice of its hero counterpart.

You gain +8 Det, +9 Vit, +1 in crit and but you lose 4 Mnd.

To be honest, that is one of the options i would not choose.

As I stated earlier, 4 DTR (or Det whichever abbreviation you appreciate more) equals 1 Mind.
You dont need any further Vita once you reach ~3.6-4k for the most content. Gaining just 1 Crit. Furthermore you also lose 12 Piety, yes of course it is not that relevant, yet it is more relevant than 1 crit.

In other words if you consider switching Myth-Bracelet for the Astral Bracelet it is - in my opinion - not advisable.
