Healers forever gimped

[Ghishlain]

The only thing that needed to be said in this thread is "Shroud of Saints" recovers MP on WHM. Aetherflow/Energy Drain Recovers MP on SCH, and the pots have longer cooldowns than either of these. But no, the nerds had to pull out their calculators and nitpick every last detail... stuff that is completely irrelevant to someone who isn't raiding.

No, the "nerds" pulled out the calculators to prove how factually inaccurate your statement was. You already stated yourself that both Shroud of Saints, Aetherflow, and Energy Drain recovers MP. However, the numbers you used and the comparisons you put forward were horrible and needed to be corrected so forum users can get the right information and make proper use of the information.

I don't know what you are trying to insinuate. If you need to use use pots or MP recovery on trash mobs, your party is broken. If the developers intent was to use the items as a spammable item, the dungeons would be designed with that in mind and be "hardcore" harder. It's not very fun to be held hostage to the price of pots just to play anything but the bunny hill.

What Spoekes is insinuating is this comment:

They wouldn't make the game impossible, and clearly the margin of error is 20%

...was pulled completely outta thin air due to you seeing "20%" on so many abilities and items.

Any healer's "margin of error" in any fight should be any supplemental MP they wish you have beyond what's necessary for the fight (ie. T10 requires 10K MP? Then I'll have enough PIE/CDs to allow about 11K MP as a 'margin of error'). This will differ between player to player with most optimal healers attempting to be as close to 0 MP as possible by the time the fight ends.
