The way of scholar

Thanks for your answer.

My best tip is I tend to put off healing as much as I can during the pull. The moment they grab aggro lustrate, aldo, excog. If the tank is using CD right can normally throw up dps then. Fairy helps a little too obviously. If you can’t put off lustrate tho use lurtrate if you pull just keep yourself up and the tank until he grabs everything or use lucid to drop aggro so he can grab easier.

Some tank seems to tank far better than others. Sometimes in same dongeon, I have some difficulties to keep up the tank alive and other times I can DPS. I know, there can be a hugh difference btw people as tank main job or not, hours of play and so experience in tanking. That's why I would to improve myself to compensate that lack of experience from certain tank.
Lustrate is a really good skill espacially when he critic, it give a good breath. Thinking of that, when I will play DRK, will take a look at SCH buff to know if he has stack of aetherflow for that skill before hugh pulling

Even the squishiest of tanks I have never had an issue with their pulls in any of the max level dungeons as long as I rotate between aldo, lustrate, excog. Once in a great while I might need to throw a physick or two in between my stacks, I only use dissipation if it’s absolutely needed otherwise take advantage of eos to help you on those pulls. Fey illumination can be helpful, and throw a regen up if it’s whisper or aetherpact throw it up. Watch the tanks CDs and take advantage of them, if you spam heal burst through all your stacks without thinking about it people are going to die, if you prolong and extend your skills as long as you can people will live, remember your tank does not need to be topped off at all times. Sch is all about management pet and stack management and it needs to work together, same with when to take the damage and when to shield it. And if you are having problems keeping up talk to your party, ask the tank to slow down a bit, don’t be accusatory or anything just say you’re still learning and having problems. There is no shame in that everyone starts somewhere.

As a drk tho your best bet is going to be learn how to properly rotate CDs and how to take advantage of some self-healing on pulls. If everyone is proficient at their job there should never be an issue, if a sch is managing properly you should never have to wait on them. But honestly your best bet is get comfortable with your classes learn what each skill does very in depth and learn other people’s skills that effect you. Tank CDs super helpful to know what they do, obviously there is a large difference between watching a drk use living dead or blackest night.

Oh I almost forgot! If your tank is taking too much damage that dpsing is going to kill them, then FOCUS heal! I know some people say you need to dps at all times but as the healer, as the player, you know what you are capable off. Sure throwing in extra dps can be great if it’s possible and it can help speed up the run along with prevent damage from the thing being alive longer. But don’t dps and push dps at the expense of wiping the party.
