An aside for Sacred Soil and other bubbles:

If you haven't noticed, placed bubbles work with the server tick. So it could take up to 3 seconds for the buff to even work, that with the galvanize spread lag. Lagging trying to spread it (Like spreading bio too quickly with bane) or too slow to shield (shield is present but damage is taken directly to health without breaking shield. AST's Wheel of Fortune suffers from this insanely.

So no matter what you'll need to cushion those Heavy damage hits with 3 seconds at least. ;-; Sucks about how aoe's place on PC. Ps4 is like butter. Press skill, Press X. Done.
