Healing Prey - Savage A1

Doesn't the whm have tetragrammaton? It's instant cast with only 60 seconds cool down. Can't you use that during prey to help out with the healing?

Well, sure. There's lots of good places Tetra can be used, though.

My personal strategy -- 2x cure II on the prey target, then I go back to my assigned tank. I prefer to have Tetra available to top up the tank before the buster, personally.

Tanks need to start using cds to mitigate the cleave right before prey. If pld they should have Rampart up then Sentinel first and third tank buster and HG the second. Warrior can equilibrium+Convalescence to self heal the cleave damage then vengeance, IB, unchained during prey. Tanks really need to concentrate their cds here to help with the damage. A 10 second cd will last through both the missile and plasma.

Healers should remain responsible for their own tank and choose one prey target to heal. Ask dps to use defensive cds such as mana wall, shade walker, feather foot, or second wind. Prioritize single target healing since their is no more aoe damage until after the tank buster. Blm apocatastasis can be placed on one tank for the tank buster.

As scholar I save 2 lustrates for this damage combo. I will adlo > physick > adlo prey target then switch back to the tank to top him off. I can have virus for every tank buster. Micro your fairy embrace so she is helping you.

As whm have regen on both tanks before prey targets are marked. You can pom the first and third damage combo and use tetra here.

As ast have an Aspected Benefic on both tanks. Put synastry on the tank while focusing the dps target. You have Lightspeed available here and can disable the tank buster.

Scholar and SMN can virus every tank buster. At split and after every jump have an E4E rotation. My group has our whm E4E a tank the first and third rotation and our BLM E4E the second rotation. Scholar/SMN can E4E a tank every rotation. This helps control the aoe damage throughout the phase so you will not fall so far behind.

Please note I did not touch on drk cds because I'm not as familiar, but the idea is the same. They need to concentrate most their CD use during prey and use their 30% magic damage mitigation for the tank buster with self healing as needed.

I've got the fight almost down to just feel at this point it seems like

for scholar what i tend to do once i see the red targeting is adlo on the tank followed by adlo on the hydrothermic missiles target, should naturally line up so it goes off right after the gunnery pod.
then one more adlo on the target into indomitability and virus then usually a lustrate and adlo on the tank
i do keep my virus on a simple /ac "Virus" <focus> macro so i never have to swap to targeting mobs for it if that helps

A white mage should be able to do the same with assize and tetra, and an astro would do synastry and dignity

the damage in the fight is so predictable that outside of that one part a single succor(emergency if available) and let the fairy deal with topping off is enough for every other gunnery pod

[Beyondgrave]

What I do on my ast is I would synastry my tank target while helping my pray target, I'll Ed him right before the tank bust comes out and disable the tank buster. I only needed to Healy my prey target 2-3 times and just focus on tank afterward. On my sch, I would heal my prey target and lustrate the tank in between. Remember, you don't have to heal the prey target for the full prey duration.

[Psychosamm]

For us we just split them up, i get whoever's on top of the party list, and the healers get themselves. I dont SS both people, i just regen mine, she sch adlos hers, then when the timer is at 2 seconds i start casting cure 2 so it lands right after the aoe damage, then toss a second cure 2 then switch to the tank to top off. 2 cure 2's will always be enough UNLESS the dps has b4b up then you would have to cast an extra heal or they may die. Keep in mind that with 2 cure 2s they will end up being fairly low hp, but they won't die, regen will heal em up.

Not sure what the sch does aside from pre adlo.

[repoe]

as others stated split the preys between the two healers to mitigate and toss a couple cures then focus on tanks. their isn't any raid-wide damage going out between double preys and Tankbusters. toss a few cures to keep the prey targets alive and then let the HoT top ppl off while assisting the tanks.
