Unmend and Unleash, Do i use after Abyssal Drain is learned?

[SavageRico]

i know for lower level content yes but when in leveling dungeons and higher, do i just stick to AD?

yes, you still want to use them , they are cheaper than AD.

Plus Unmend has a chance to Proc Unleash and make it free.

When do i use AD instead of Unmend? do i ever use it to pull? do i start use plunge to pull into a unleash to salted earth?

Well Unmend is single target, so once the group is gathered is usually when I use AD personally and only if I'm getting good returns on MP, otherwise it is cheaper to go with unleash.

If mobs are spread on a pull, I usually Unmend one or more depending on how far I gotta go> plunge to one that is closer to where I want to end the pull> drop the salted earth under my feet> Unleash once they gather (hopefully you got a free one) then gauge If I should do AD spam or not. (which also depends on how many mobs there are if BP is up and and if I'm taking crap tons of damage or not.)

I think the only time I would ever really personally consider using AD on pull, was if it was a tightly packed group of enemies. Otherwise I would rather use Unmend which has higher pot, and has that chance to get the free Unleash with it's use

I'm sure some other people have advice/thoughts on this as well.

Excuse me because I haven't played in a while, just coming back.


But abyssal drain is the one with a heal when dark arts, no?

So you would want to use this when you could use the heal and have the mp to spare. If it's a really big trash pull you'll be getting some pretty nice healing out of it.

Yes.

Dark Arts + Abyssal Drain = Absorbs 100% of damage dealt as HP.

Sorry, can't help you out there, I don't generally use macros for any jobs.

Yes.

At the cost of almost all your mana for a very little heal.
