4.1 and us healers

[kikix12]

Its nice in dungeons but then 6-7 Lilies in the span of a minute in a dungeon.. Wouldn't the 6-7 gcds be better spent since Tetra, Bene, Aslyum, Regen, Holy (Stuns) and maybe a Cure per pull is enough for Dungeons..

When was the last time you made several random groups through a roulette?! Do you really think that it's possible to make do with that every time?! Not to mention, I myself am not decked out with the "best" gear. Add to that a tank that can get from 100% to 20% in a span of five seconds every so often when the mobs use their burst skills, and no, cooldowns alone will not do anything when the fight takes about a minute or more. And Benediction have a long enough cooldown to not be available more than once each few pulls.

Holy can stun for a total of seven seconds I believe (4, 2 then 1), and the mobs WILL get hits after the second and third cast before you can do anything again. They will also get hits in before the first triggers, even with Swiftcast. It mitigates some damage, but in a greater scope, it will not replace actual healing.


I'm tired of people using premade, greatly overgeared parties as the "basis" for everything that is related to dungeons. The actual game that most people play is not difficult, but it's not nearly as "neat and tidy" as you would make it believe. If I checked the forums before starting the game, and if I had no brain of my own to use, I'd think that I do something terribly wrong, just cause I actually need to use more than Regen on random encounters in dungeons...

As above, Spear's problem in raids was that people tend to pick up a very specific cooldown rotation. For example in O4S, you could throw all the cooldown reduction at me that you wanted, I simply wouldn't use it as pretty much everything is set in stone.

But Spears were random and not guaranteed. Ask yourself this. If all your cooldowns had guaranteed 20% reduction in cooldown all throughout the fight, wouldn't you work your rotation around that?! If you would, then cooldown reduction in the form of lillies is quite beneficial. Lillies are there and you can plan for them after all.
