DV. ilvl121 whm, no problems on previous runs.

Get a PLD tank. Open up a second pull with Divine Seal'd Regen and Cure II to top him off and pop CS. Can I dish Holy spam? Of course not. He dropped from 8k to 2k in 1 GCD. PLD. 6k in 1 GCD to 1 pack of mobs...

To make things worse, my SC and Benediction were on CD, CS was still on 3 sec CD. He died and, oblivious, blamed it on my lag. The rest of the encounter I spent losing my hope in humanity and opportunity to try and DPS. I don't know why he was dropping that low. Really. He wasn't even in Sword Oath, he was in Shield Oath.

He apparently didn't know how to use CD's. He popped Convalenscence right after I popped CS and way too late to affect my Regen. I don't know what did he expect me to do. Heal through CS? Popped Awareness just before the pull. Cool moves, but no point in it if he couldn't take non-crit hits. 2 defensive CD's and FoF at adds being at 50%? No Hallowed Ground at all.

All in all, it was a nightmare.

Dusk Vigil

I had a tough time handling a WAR in Dusk Vigil last night. I'm at i124 AST, the WAR is Dreadwyrm geared, close to if not i130. We got up to the first pack, and I set up HoT's, popped CS, and went for Gravity, and the tank got clobbered. I squeezed off the one Gravity while waiting for CS to come off CD and managed to eke out Essential Dignity with the tank in triple digit HP. Not a CD in sight, even after he switched to DPS stance, causing me to heal him for just as much against two mobs as I had been doing against three. Poor tank has yet to realize that his gear is now just average.

Honestly? Had no trouble at all stance-dancing with war in Deliverance in DV. Had enough breathing room to drop two-three Holy, and get back to healing. The first time I have less hassle healing war over pld. Just shows how bad that pld was...

I've had that issue with war in Deliverance in DV, once. War was tanking with it and was sitting at a max hp of 7k, mnk trailing right behind at 6800. I couldn't even switch to cleric stance without the tank spiking half of his health and having to blow 2 or 3 lustrates while I took off CS and started Adlo spam.

It was most likely that I didn't get a very "good" tank, but it also definitely feels like war is much more squishy than before, at least in the 50s. I have zero issues keeping up 60 wars on both ast and sch even on speed pulls in the expert dungeons
