4.1 and us healers

[Sebazy]

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.

In the case of the O4S example, sadly not for the most part, the need to align Lucid and Thin Air with each Almagest outweighs the benefits that a 20% reduction there would give, the fight is also pretty awful for lily generation due to how periodic the vast majority of tank damage is. O3S would be better though for sure.

I’d also argue that iLvl 290 is actually rather undergeared at this point. There, little excuse to not be 300+ at this point unless it’s your first level 70 ofc. And getting to 300 is an evening or two’s work at worst.
