Soo... about WHM Tetragrammaton.

[Saseal]

A.) It's an 'OHSHIT I NEED TO HEAL RIGHT NAO' that doesn't take a year and a half to come off CD (Benediction) - I've used this plenty of times to Bene one tank on the brink, then Tetra the other thats about to be on the brink when shit is hitting the fan and any delay to cast a cure WILL result in their death in between. Just boom, boom. Crisis (mostly) averted.

B.) "I need to heal this person but I can't stop moving (like T9's rotating, unpausing Heavensfall explosions) or we're both dead".

C.) "Oh shi- all this healing made me out of MP! And the tank is about to die! Tetra dis!" (no mp req)

It's not as potent as cure II, but it's better than death in the middle of casting and it's better than not being able to bene an emergency again, for a looooooong duration. Alexander floor 4 is prime usage for me, for them both skills - for namely A and C.

its not only instant, its off ther global cooldown timer, which is very valuable.

[CycLee]

it's instant, off GCD and free with a accaptable CD - if you dont see it's worth, you should not be healing.

i didn't say it was worthless. i just don't see it as a big deal skill for a lv60 end game skill. should have a bit more potency atleast

Does a level 60 skill have to be amazing? I don't think so. Look at Dissipation and Celestial Opposition. Out of the three level 60 healer skills, Tetragrammaton is certainly the most useful.

Just consider it another tool in your toolbox and use it appropriately. If you can't appreciate that, I don't think there's much more than us, the healer community, can tell you.

It absolutely is.

All of WHM's new skills are amazing. I love all of them and I use them all every single fight. I honestly don't know why anyone would complain about any of them. :\ Especially with what has happened to Bards, I think us WHMs are extremely fortunate to have such useful skills that fit the class well.

In 4 man dungeons its use may not be apparent as battles are relatively short. In loong 8 man battles (ala alexander ) you'll be squeezing it for all its worth to save your mp and use as an instant heal for dps mistakes or tank on brink of death. When it crits it is more or less like benediction lite.

[Parawill]

Considering how combat is very restricted to the global cool down concept and how pre-heavensward, the only healing outside of our global cooldowns were our regens (unreliable vs. mistakes on top of incoming raid damage) and Benediction, Tetragrammaton enables White Mages to catch up in healing or spike heal a target without needing to expend more valuable cooldowns or multiple GCDs.

It also provides breathing space for both you and your healing partner in full party content (8 players) as it can save an Aetherflow Stack or other cooldowns for much better use.

To be fair, throwing rancid rat corpses at your team mates hoping it will do something is better than Celestial Opposition.

But yeah, my WHM healing partner loves tetragrammaton.....whilst i am like, um lustrating since 2.0, whats the big deal
