Galvanize question

[whiskeybravo]

Hi there, I was actually replying to whiskeybravo.

Oh, sorry I missed that. Nothing matters but the strength of the shield. Granted, I'm not exactly sure how ast/sch shields mix (I know they both don't stack, I assume though, that if an ast shield is stronger then it will overwrite sch shield and vice-versa).

The reason you sometimes see the shield overwrite and sometimes not is exactly because of the shield strength. There is like a 5% variation on heals/damage, so from time to time you may have a stronger shield on one person but a little bit less on someone else, when you recast Succor it overwrites the weaker shields but not the stronger ones, regardless of duration left on the original shield.

Hey everyone, what's the protocol for being with another scholar, or is there any? How does Galvanize work in that case, like if I do Adlo on someone and Deployment Tactics, if the other SCH does Succor right after, would it overwrite my Adlo on everyone or same rule apply? Same with just regular Succor, if I apply it, and 5 seconds later another SCH does as well, does it restart the timer or how does that work? I haven't had any issues being with other Scholars but just curious. Thanks.

It will only overwrite if it's stronger. It will not renew the duration unless it's stronger, also.

Great thanks, what about overwriting my own Succor, does it have to be at a certain number before I can? Because I'll have 10 seconds left on Galvanize after doing Succor and I can recast it and I'm pretty sure it still applies to the people. Seems like only if Adlo is on someone, or if I've just done Succor then it won't. I was thinking maybe it had to be under 15 seconds left before it would renew the duration but haven't really tested it a ton. SCH is a lot more fun than I thought. I think it seems the hardest of the 3 healers as you have powerful healing when under Aetherflow but waste those 3 stacks and things can be pretty hard on yourself until they come back! (I just hit 58 so definitely better now).

It has nothing to do with time left at all. And if you're having problem with healing without Aetherflow, you're not using Rouse enough and/or using any Fey abilities at all.

Galvanize gets re-/applied if there's no currently active Galvanize status to check, or if a Galvanize-applying heal has a larger amount of shielding to add than the currently active. If you use Adloquium and heal 1500 on a target with no Galvanize status, they gain Galvanize. If you use Adloquium on the same target with Galvanize still in effect and heal any amount over 1500, they gain a renewed Galvanize with the new amount overwriting the old amount. The same goes for Succor, except a critical heal with Succor does not double the shielding the healed target(s) gain(s).

try to remain cool and collected if the tank pulls 3 seconds before your shield falls off also lmao.

especially when its an adlo crit. T_T

You forgot adding when it is deployed too.
