Pros and Cons of each Healer Role

[HPDelron]

Definitely. In my static we run Diurnal AST + SCH(me) and we have a SMN. That means we can have 2 superviruses with a disable in between.

What is kind of sad is that Fey Illum + Defiance + Adlo/crit + Deploy would mitigate more than bole/virus/disable/sacred soil/cu/succor/stone skin :\

Except, those aren't mutually exclusive. It's only really meaningful to talk about which does more when you have to choose between the two things. Fey Illum + Defiance + Aldo Crit is all to produce a big Galvanize effect. Which as we see slots comfortably into the overall picture and since Galvanize stays up anything that reduces the damage going into the shields leaves more of that big, beefy safety barrier for later.

I know we're already off into stupid theoretical maximums with no real application but heck, why not throw in mantra & dissipation while we're at it for good measure?

I didn't mean it as a mutually exclusive, or a way of pointing out how those other skills are not good (they're all useful and we use them all). I more meant that Adlo + Deploy is OP and I am surprised they allow people to throw 13k+ shields on an entire group.

Personally, I wouldn't use Dissipation for an adlo deploy - I only use Dissipation under 2 situations 1. no healing will be required for a bit and 2. I need to push DPS. We could definitely add more healing buffs, but that just moves away from the point I was making :P
