Protect? Really important? Low level content

[Yorumi]

Aero is actually pretty good at low level. You'll have a hard time fitting it in for it's full duration if you try applying it to the primary target, so you should reserve it for after you've applied Miasma and Bio to every target, then put Aero on any mobs that aren't the primary target.

That's what I mean by not fully ticking. By the time you've applied bio and misama to 3 to 4 mobs, you'll get aero on 1 mob? Compared to just casing ruin that's not doing a whole lot. Basically no skill you can cross class at low level makes a difference, but lacking protect causes unnecessary stress, so why knowingly doing that when nothing makes any real difference?

In three mob packs, you should be fitting in two Aero's, with two mobs you'll get one. That's a 120-240 potency increase on every pull. It's almost as much as getting an extra Energy Drain every pull. What doesn't make a difference is how much Protect mitigates. Eos is capable of healing, and if you're forced to heal, having Protect or not won't change that you only need one Physick to bring the tank from 50% to topped, at which point you can go back to DPS'ing. I'm not sure what unecessary stress you're experiencing, you can be partied with a first time tank in Sastasha or Tam-Tara, mobs bouncing everywhere, and still heal and DPS because the damage is so trivial.

Unnecessary stress is not on the healer it's on the general party expectations. You've got people quitting a group cause the healer doesn't have protect, and people in this topic with the tired old "you can't tell me what to do" garbage and all that. All that so a healer can cast aero and end a run 30 seconds faster. Well that was sure worth all the arguing.
