Hey everyone, I'm not a healer (yet), but I was doing the lvl 44 Garuda battle last night and was introduced to the weird concept of latent 'Regen Hate'. Fast forward to losing about 8 battles in a row, the WHM started casting regen and stoneskin on everyone before the battle started just try and find an edge that might help, but I noticed very quickly that I wasn't able to hold hate in the beginning even after Provoke + 2-3 flashes. One cure would immediately set it off to the WHM. I honestly thought I was missing a flash on her, but my WHM had said that it must have been the regen's and once he stopped doing that...the hate control went back to normal o.O

I didn't get to talk to him about it because we kept working that fight from the 90 minute mark down to the 10 until we won, but I found the concept extremely odd. In XI, Regen was ideal in a lot of ways because it didn't carry hate beyond its initial casting, so I'm confused about how it's handled in this game. Can any experienced healers clue me in? Was it specifically regen or just a general 'buff' hate?
