MCH and Self-Healing

[Itseotle]

It is strange that they failed to give MCH any form of survivability. It's something like this:

Survivable AF tier:

DRG gets...

You forgot the most important of all: Life Surge and Bloodbath. The hit on Lifesurge is about 1300 HP and combined with Bloodbath its a total of about 2300, so its essentially another Second Wind. On top of that, bloodbath keeps rolling for another 12s or so, and if you got a lot of off-globals ready, you can really pump out of HP.

Indeed. With Foresight, Keen Flurry and Bloodbath up, a DRG can emergency tank extremely well for the 15 seconds they're active, popping Second Wind, a Life Surged Full Thrust and a potion as needed. I've pulled off a few saves like this, passing aggro back to the tank by Elusive Jumping after he provokes after being raised. Glorious every time.

Back on topic though, it would be nice if machinists could selfheal somehow. I'm not willing to sacrifice any crossclass slots for it though...
