    How potent is Asylum?

    Whenever I cast this spell I can hardly see the ticks. How strong is Asylum compared to Medica 2 or Regen? Is it better at higher levels?

    Love the way the spell looks, make pulls a little easier but when I say little I mean it. What does everyone else think of this spell?

    It's regen is higher than medica 2, lower than regular regen. For me at i180 it's around 500 per tic.

    I don't know why you don't see the numbers, Aslyum has a separate tic. So with regen med 2 and asylum up you'll see two tics. One for regen and med 2, and one for asylum.

    I remember Asylum ticking for something around 500±50 as well.

    As an ability, Asylum is a nice addition when a tank takes repeating damage from something and a dose of Regen isn't enough. Same goes for placing the bubble around DPS that I can't be bothered to heal properly. Right now my biggest issue with it is that I keep forgetting I have it. Assize is easier to remember because it plays a part in MP management.

    It is probably the worst out of all the new WHM abilities. Asylum is not that good since the HoT is considerably weak and seems to proc slowly (compared to Regen/Medica II). However, it is useful since it costs zero MP and has a decent recast timer.

    Just know when to use it to its fullest potential in addition to Regen and Medica II, like when a tank and the melee DPS are dealing with a large group of enemies; or in Ravana EX when the tank is taking damage while you're kiting the tethered orbs; or even in A4 when you're targeted with that brutal DoT.

    It would be much better, though, if it could be affected by Divine Seal.

    Why do I keep reading this as "ass size"?

    That would have been funny if they were talking about that ability.

    I like it. It's free, and most instances of damage tend to be infrequent enough to let Asylum work its magic. Not to mention, most fights let you stack with little consequence as well, making it essentially a Medica II.

    In all other cases... meh, free Cure II and a bit more on the tank over 24 seconds?

    Of all the new WHM abilities, Asylum is definitely the weakest. It's very situational at level 60 due to how hard enemies hit and the fact that Asylum can't be buffed via Divine Seal to compensate. Changing it to be a "spell" would do wonders towards addressing the lack of heal output (especially since it ignores WAR Defiance)

    On the bright size, they are considering buffing the stuff depending on feedback received during the Savage mode of Alexander. I'll admit having Warriors in your daily roulette is slightly more annoying when Tetragrammaton and Asylum isn't as sexy on them.

    full i180, weapon 190, he proc at 700-750 and he proc not slowly that the other regen, that alway on tic server like alway ^^

    personnaly, i realy like it, they add lot of aoe dmg at repetition in boss, bismark/ravana/Alex, i use it a lot *_*
    he cant be boosted by divine sin, but in the other way he cant be reducted by the debuff heal (like in A1) like the 2 other new skill ^^
