Some advice to healers.

[Seryl199]

When face tanking a mob, consider applying adloquium or stoneskin to yourself instead of a regular heal. The barrier effect will prevent your spells from being interrupted while you cast, as well as keep you safe. As previously mentioned, abuse swiftcast! Unless you're saving it for a very specific moment, use it for a snappy medica II or a heal while on the go. It's too valuable to leave untouched for a whole fight

one thing that has helped me out alot as a healer is making "self heal" macro. having to heal yourself while your focused on keeping the tank up can be challenging especially if you take a really big hit. not sure how a whm one would look but for my sch i made

/ac "Lustrate" <me>
/pac "Embrace" <me>
/wait 3
/pac "Embrace" <me>

it may seem like overkill, but this macro ensures that i can top myself off after even the biggest hit. having the fairy cast embrace twice is a little bit of a buffer in case i dont have a aetherflow up for lustrate or if the dmg i took was particularly big

False, at least for aqu. Since 30 seconds of galvanize is more or less redundant, and waste of mp and heal power (you will do about 30% less healing with aqu vs physick). And Nothing will ever stop an interrupt end game, because any hit a healer gets will exceed 10% of their health if not 50% of their health.

Basically it only sounds good, but will never be practical, when it's needed, it's inadequate. If something is sure to inturrupt a healers spell, it's going to be a a big hit so massive it will bypass any shield put up.

And swiftcast is also semi false. Content wise there are(almost always) certain instances you want a swiftcast up for, otherwise you blow it on a rez. More for scholars then for whm.

Usually there is a unofficial rule that the Sch save swiftcast for Rez, and the whm saves it for medica2/cure3. So a Sch should always hold on to their swiftcast either 1: pet 2:rez 3: back to back succor.

If 1,2,3 are not used, then all the better, but holding on to it must be made at least for one healer out of two(The sch usually).

A basic application of that is Levi-ex. The sch always hold on to a swift, never using it because if anyone dies, they must be rez asap, and definitely before going into the water. While the more important whm, can choose to swift for any emergency Medica2 especially phase 2 where there is a hard aoe spam on it, threatening to kill anyone. (Not having a swift on the phase 2 spam, will surely wipe the group, as surely as not having 7-8 people)

Holding on to swift in dungeons is probably stupid, but any end game content, it's a unspoken rule. Hold on to it, and use it in emergencies only is vasily superior to blowing it and then not having it. (usually back to back succor/medica for phases)

In then end, it's a totally false analysis because anything hard, it's going to be false, and anything easy, it makes no difference and it's false in the sense it will not make a difference.
