Change SCH Dissipation

how do you even define "regularly" here? Major Arcana is only 1 per minute. Earthly Star is also once per minute. Divination is once every 2. Draw, Divination, and 50% of the time Major Arcana aren't attacks. On the other hand, SGE constantly uses Addersgall abilities for MP, using Kardia on CD unless there's a specific reason to hold it and trying to intelligently use Ixo or Tauro.

Regularly means that, when playing AST, you will always be using Minor Arcana on cooldown. You don't need the fight to tell you when to use it. It doesn't matter if you're fighting the final instance battle boss of EW, or progging savage, you will always use Minor Arcana. Meanwhile, you will only use Pneuma when you need a powerful burst healing tool, which in many cases is never. Most content doesn't put out enough damage to demand that much healing from SGE, and as far as your healing resources are concerned, you want to take every opportunity to use Addersgall healing tools first specifically to avoid having to waste Druocholes on MP gain. And you could say that makes Druochole a semi-regular MP management tool, but it feels awful to have to use it that way.

Healers need more tools that are always useful regardless of whether or not the party needs healing. As has been said to an exhausting degree, this doesn't always have to equate to offensive buttons, but offensive buttons are by in large the most straightfoward and effective ways of providing that. Regularly used tools are ones that don't demand healing be needed.

What? You do need it and its not only about needing it you need to get max usages of pneuma every encounter because zoe coupled with pneuma saves a lot of resources both of your own and of your co-healer. Take p8s for example its extremly hard to heal spread into stack if the other healer get NA if you dont zoe pneuma when you are going to your spot.

So you're suggesting that Pneuma is a use-on-cooldown action? You use Pneuma every 2 minutes no matter the circumstances? You get Barbariccia normal in Trial Roulette, and Pneuma is an every 2 minutes action? You use it every 2 minutes when running Lapis Manalis? Every 2 minutes when in a treasure map dungeon? Do you think you'll be using it on cooldown when doing the upcoming Deep Dungeon?

Interesting, personally I used Indom after first stackspread, Holos after the second, then Zoe Pneuma between fire/ice. I don't play barrier healers enough to have a concrete mit plan for fights though

also, what Taurus means is that you're holding onto it until NA, so it doesn't count. For it to count as a 'part of your damage rotation' you'd have been blowing it inside the raidbuff window for more damage. Ironically, it IS 'more damage' if fired into a group of enemies, as it's got 40% falloff compared to Toxicon's 50%, so in AOE it's a slight gain over Toxicon. But the point was about ST fights, so it's not a gain, it's damage neutral, so we cannot count it.
