Rescue is Griefing

To some, apparently dying is better vs saving their healer’s 2.4k MP. /s

I’m aware we’re close to limitless in mana pool under general circumstances, but c’mon… lmao.

Honestly, given how rarely GCD heals get used in serious content, I feel like spending Swiftcast potentially hurts more than the MP does. :P

(That said, if multiple people are down, the MP bill starts to get painful.)

I get that loud and clear since I use swiftcast as a part of my WHM DPS rotation. I often will not have it up to raise if someone dies, if I use it like that.

As for the MP bill with multiple raising, it's not too bad since you can use thin air, and lucid dreaming. I know, since I got called out for "not doing anything" in a raid, even though I was literally raising multiple people, because I had "too much MP" or something along those lines. Posted about it in the duty finder thread.

Yeah. I ended up going SGE this tier (my co-healer wanted to try AST instead of SCH, so it was my turn to be barrier healer), which meant I ran a lot of stuff as SGE instead of WHM just habitually, even outside of savage. So I often didn't have Thin Air (though what they call "Thin Air" now is like... imitation diet Thin Air Lite; it is but a pale shadow of its former glory), but even just topping someone off with a charge of addersgall after getting them back up did a lot to erase that MP cost.

Still, a group sufficiently determined to really turn content into a series of unfortunate events -- or just unfortunate deaths -- can still deplete a healer's MP. Especially if one of those repeatedly on the ground is the other healer.

I mean, I had a run of Mothercrystal in trial roulette where I got to use healer LB3 three times. In the same pull. The number of rezzes I got to cast in addition to those those LB3s was what I might politely term "breathtakingly large"; for once, my MP was crying mercy. I actually used Super-Ethers, because I happened to have some in my inventory.

(At one point someone commented in party chat, "I'm really glad this fight doesn't have an enrage.")
