SCH physick :)

[Miste]

Unless you are using Emergency Tactics, Physick is your strongest GCD heal

It's the strongest "raw" heal, but its not technically your strongest GCD heal...you have to take into consideration the damage the shield part of Adlo prevents as well.

Physick 400 potency raw heal
Adlo 300 potency raw heal + 300 potency shield (*+crit RNG) = *600

*If Crit will increase

It's dependent on incoming damage so in some cases yeah Physick is stronger if the player isn't going to take any damage, but if you know the main tank for example is taking consistent damage then Adlo is a better use of a GCD heal than Physick because not only will you do 300 potency (only 100 lower than Physick) but the shield you give them also adds another 300 as they take hits.

The only reason not to would be lack of incoming damage or MP issues. So I understand what you mean about encouraging healers not to use it as primary, but the OP was talking about savage not casual content. In casual content yeah you don't wanna spam Adlo if you just need raw healing.
