Well my dear Dualgunner

After lvling my AST from 60-70, doing countless of sirensongs, shisuis, bardams and the occasional...doma? (lvl 67 dgn) and being partnered up with different tanks, I've reached the conclusion that somewhere in the back of their head, there's this thing that convinces them of two things:

-the best mitigation cds should be saved for oh shiii- moments. (The best part of this here is when it never gets used from start to finish because they kept it mentally in reserve).
-They literally think the healer can outheal the dmg because for some reason or other, if the mobs aren't hitting as my "insert raid here" joke, then its fine.

My dear tanks.

Your cds are not one time per dgn use cds. For example, there's literally 3 places you can use HG in Bardam when you're mass pulling. Saving it for "I'm about to die" is kinda pointless. There are no dgn bosses that will put you in that situation so long as you stick to the basics of engagement (dodging telegraphed attacks, proper cd usage and ofc getting healed). On the other hand, mass pulling has a much higher death rate when you're not using your cds.

Also my dear tanks, while every healer's potency healing is pretty damn huge...the speed at which they heal isn't. IIRC, Presence of mind and Lightspeed are the go-to skills for rapid healing. We can technically add lustrate from SCH. Really, really nice for that initial mass pull. Not so great for the second mass pull (I'm pretty sure the first two skills I mentioned would still be on cooldown by then.)

You're not doing anyone any favors when you're saving your defensive skills.
