Healing DRK tanks sucks.

[Seryl199]

Their heals are baseline less potent. using whm comparisons since I don't have nocturnal sect yet.

cure 400 benefic 380 medica2 200/100 regen aspected helios 140/50 regen

cure2 650 benefic2 620 medica 300 helios 290 whispering dawn o intital/100 regen

so compared to sch, physick is same as cure. the sch spells with shields are slightly weaker than whm versions but shields are considered better than raw healing generally. I will hopefully have nocturnal sect tomorrow (had to log at 49, its killing me).

emergency heal is good though. baseline 400 potency (so same as a normal cure which sounds small) but instant, no mana, and increases potency the more heath the target is missing.

Another thing I would like to note is I don't have any aoe dmg yet. looks like the first aoe is at 52 in Gravity. by now whm has holy, and sch had bane ages ago, plus miasma2 and gets shadowflare at 50. Really noticeable in DD.

Diurnal stance gives AST increased cast speed, while Nocturnal stance gives them 5% healing buff, effectively closing the potency gap. I haven't had much time at 50 but I've yet to have issues with healing throughput, and only resort to Benefic II spam when the tank overpulls.

Most DRK I've run into have been competent, with one exception of an overeager low level tank that AoE pulled in Brayflox without CD's.
