Healer for speed running dungeons

This is compared to WHM which can just cast a couple of regens before the pull and spam Holy without worrying about their mana with Thin Air.
?

On what planet do you live on where you can put up regens before a pull? On trash this would just be silly, the tank would hate you. Problematic even if you tried to stay right on top of the tank. On bosses, it would be a good way to move the boss out of position or take an attack to the face. Most tanks will remove regens on them when doing trash pulls. Not to say WHM doesn't have nice tools but pre HoTing before the pulls isn't one of them.

Good correction, it's best to throw the regen on right after the tank establishes aggro on trash mobs. But my main point about regens and holy spam is still untouched. Edit: I edited the post you quoted me in because you made a good point.

Off-topic, but I tanked the Vault on my PLD (I'm usually a healer). Healer pre-casted Aspected Helios Diurnal every...single...pull.

How do people even think that's a good idea?

By forgetting or not knowing about healing aggro generation.

Well, I learned that on the hard way, after aggroing an entire pack of monsters just putting a regen too early back when I was doing my 1st run on Stone Vigil. Good times...
