Suggestions for bringing DRK up to par, and QoL changes.

[Claire_Pendragon]

That's a decent solution, honestly. I just meant, like, you wouldn't be able to use it for the full effect if it was instant activation for half. But this suggestion would solve that, although, there's still the minor issue of potency vs need. IE, "I need this heal right away but 25% isn't enough"

While not incorrect, Im too casual of a player to think of it that way.
I break it down into priority.

(1) Do I have a WHM to benediction me when I hit Walking dead? If So, go to #2, if not, I save sole survivor for Walking dead.
(2) Is there any adds in this fight, where I need to AoE a lot? If not, go to #3, if so, sole survivor the 1st add to die, to keep my MP going for more AoEs.
(3) Is there an add in the fight I need to tank, while also MTing the boss? If not, go to #4 if so, then I'll probably use sole survivor for the MP, and hope the heal helps. (Otherwise i'd be in the situation ur proposing.)
(4) Its only a boss in this fight. If so, I'll just use it as an emergency heal.

Essentially, I pick based on the fight, rather than in the moment.
