the mp recovery from aetherflow isnt even enough for one adlo

[paoweeotter]

I haven't had any MP problems healing the delta raids as a SCH thanks to lucid dreaming, aetherflow, energy drain and deployment tactics with adlo. I can post a screenshot of ACT but I am constantly above the WHM in Encounter HPS with low overhealing in my PUG last night. Stats look some thing like

WHM 1.5m EncHPS 50% Overheal 1800 DPS
SCH 2.0m EncHPS 25% Overheal 1700 DPS

HPS means nothing without DPS and still means almost nothing after, unless you continue to compare it to other groups with similar dps.

Stuff

You bet every healer needs synergy! This is part of why Astrologian is so powerful. They lack skills that actively contradict others.

Dropping the fairy to dissipate her for MP was constantly brought up as a means to deal with MP problems, but the loss of her heals is a high cost that's hard to justify. That said, strategizing for Aetherflows is good play. So, no argument there.

Excognition costs a valuable Aetherflow and drops off if the player under it's effect never loses half HP in 30 seconds. That's what I would consider overhealing and a waste.

The fairy tether is an issue for me as it's not just embrace that I'm losing. I'm losing ALL of her skills until I break it or the gauge is depleted.

The act of tethering also forcefully places my fairy, so it's extra steps to get her to safety if AoE's drop. I know it's personal preference, but I find keeping her relative location near me helps to manage her range and keep her out of stupid.

.I've heard this argument regarding E4E being weak, it doesn't change the fact that it removes one ability Deployment CAN spread off the table, which hurts the skill.

Everyone has Lucid. Everyone is accounting for Lucid access on top of Aetherflow, which only restores 10% MP verses 20% despite our increased MP costs. No one wants to rely on drains as we give up half of our kit to do so. It isn't a good answer.

[QooEr]

what i meant about excog isnt wasted is, if my cohealer likes topping off ppl and heal more than necessary, then just dont heal. no more mp problems because you get paired with a bad cohealer

you should be near the tank Anyways so whispering dawn reaches them, so i really dont get what the problem is. it cant always be done, but the tether is not always needed.

and you arent "relying" on energy drains. you SHOULD be using them anyways to maximize dps. and like i said, would you rather cast a succor for 2200 mp or an indom for 1200 mp. its about trading your heals for drains. if you can manage your fairy and you dont keep everyone topped at all times (no need to do that ever) you shouldnt need more than 1 stack per minute
