Fluid Aura

[JonFarron]

I usually only use it on mobs I know won't get tossed back, like the big ones and bosses.

On bosses I use this single target roation

Aero II->Aero->Swiftcast->Holy->Fluid Aura->Stone II spam until Aeros need to be put up again, then skipping SC+Holy until it's up again.

I don't even necessarily like seeing them use it on mobs that are actually hitting them because more often than not they push it out of range for me to grab aggro on it, so they've only delayed the inevitable. If you're getting hit, the best thing to do is bring me the mob (intelligently of course, don't go standing in a cone aoe or anything) and I'll be happy to take aggro off you. If you die, I die and I like to prevent as much of that as possible.

I understand this. I've just been burned so many times by tanks who don't try to get back (or can't) regain enmity that the casting of fluid aura is almost Pavlovian. If a tank tells me to knock it off, I will.

Can I do my roulettes with you then? I will take fluid aura off my hotbar, I promise.

Ehe. I roulette with my FC, though I frequently do several sets a day to help people out. The extra myth is nice for alexandrite maps, which are eating a ton of it daily. I'm on Sargatanas though, so... >.<

Ha yeah... I guess there's always the other side to it. I know as healer the first thing I do is run to the tank when I get hit, but that's because I main tank and I know that's the proper response. If the tank doesn't do anything about it, then I kite like hell until either a dps bails me out, I die, or the mob dies. The terrible part is that I primarily play Scholar, so I'm not very well equipped to bail myself out. About the best I can do is slow it down with Miasma, lol.

Use them for killshots. That is all.

I love fluid aura on boss fights assuming I'll be opening with a bit of dps. Take the second boss in bray for example. I always open with this;
Pre SS tank ran with him to boss cast fluid aura, aero 1 and 2, then stone 2 and recast SS as it will always fall off around the time of your finished cast.
