Divination & Math - Is it worth using in dungeons? Only in specific situations?

[Forever_Learning]

Hmm... and those Lords and Ladies can all go to DPS, whereas the AoE of Divination is diminished on Healer and Tank.
So yeah, for 4-man parties you might be right.

EDIT: I took your maths for granted, but actually you're not adding 6% from Div to 18%, you're adding 18%, because that 6% hits four people. So it's a total of 36%. But 12% of that is diminished, so effectively it's probably more like 30%, and less still with healer downtime.

I was afraid of my character limit in my original post, but you do see where I am coming from, so let me elaborate.

First, you really have to ask yourself how much you care about extra DPS to your tank and healer during a dungeon boss fight, or say, a large dungeon pull.

That's where the difference emerges, as you correctly note. When I said that you add 6% from div, I meant you add 6% specifically to that DPS.

If you give the DPS every seal, you will have given 18%, whereas giving them all as crown, would have have given 24%.

When you hit div, you give that specific DPS an additional 6%, but in reality, you are effectively compensating what the DPS would have received with just crowns!

As I said, a lot of this is gonna come down to how much you care about your tank and healer getting a buff in a 10-20 minute dungeon run with short boss fights.

Plan A) You give your DPS smaller buffs, but later on you will compensate with another buff that will also buff everyone else simultaneously

Plan B) You just give a steady stream of crowns to your DPS and they won't be gimped - only the tank and healer will be missing out.

The other thing to consider is the use of sleeve and redraw - doing that stuff obviously adds to your rotation.

You fiddle around with it, it takes up time, and none of that time goes towards healing or dealing damage.

I would honestly love to simulate both scenarios because removing the need to deal with sleeve and redraw could theoretically be better in some situations.

For example, someone in another thread actually noted their tank was the top DPS by a mile, so that person kept getting all the cards.

In that scenario, would you still try for div, or just keep giving the person with huge DPS a constant stream of crowns?
