WHM's Fluid Aura

[Eloah]

I didn't read every post, but the situation sounds similar to when i use garuda as a summoner. I usually try fo make sure the enemy is heavily dotted and low on health befire i use shockwave, that way the enemy should die either because of shockwave or ahortly after.

Why would you ever use shockwave though? It does less damage than Wind blade.

Also as others have said already I think Fluid Aura is fine. A lot of mobs are immune to the pushback and if a mob isn't immune just use it when its low on health.

Its fine as it is honestly.

No one has posted this yet?!?? Well this is how you properly use fluid aura... Throw your dots up, identify what target isn't being focused. Fluid aura that target. Swift cast repose. (sleep for you underutilizing whms out there)

Same goes for MCH. Throw up your dots. Find the target not being focused. Lead shot, bind. The mob helplessly watches while you obliterate his friends.

That's fine early on, to help mitigate the squish tanks, but most people want a good amount of AOE damage done. q.q

Uh, no. Do not do this. You're not being helpful by kicking mobs out of AoE range and out of the range of the tank.

In addition to this, Repose is a wasted GCD in 99,9% of the cases.

What AOE? Normal level dungeoneering tanks don't pull more than one pack usually equaling three mobs. Black mages Fire II spam is barely better than fire Spam. Other AOE from TP dependent roles are a waste of TP with only three mobs. The dps gained with the mitigation I've provided outwighs the crappy AOE that will be being done.

With only two mobs hitting the tank I usually never have to heal mid battle this way. Especially when the tank is properly using cool downs. This is even more effective when other dps know how to play their classes and throw their dots on all mobs. Including the one I push back. And sleep. They will continue to take that dot damage and will wake up around the time the 2nd mob is dying and with around 60-70% health.

Yes, and? A lot of jobs have AoE at relatively early levels that is more effective already at 3+ mobs, including two of the three tanks.

What.

Except they're not?

I am getting the impression you don't even remotely know what you are talking about. Wasting a GCD on Repose is already a waste of time, damage, and MP.

Again: do not do this. You are going to piss off the rest of your group and you are not doing anything useful.

The same reason you use fluid aura, its an OGCD move to push out more dps.
