Tasear's Tree House

Did a vCR today! Not too exicting as I have since enjoyed achievement myself... but leading felt like this time I truly lead it well.  I tried crappy meta tactics, and turned out for average group of misfits. There's something to be said for the best tatics that work for your group instead of forcing tatics on team. Still time to talk about good things!

Had a opps moment for first two bosses where I thought we were all super quiet and everyone was listening to me... found out my mouse was muted. I wonder what chat was like before then... Last boss... struggled a bit... >..> that one guy who bar swapped and wiped us out. Shh, it's such a shame for a sorc to die by electricity.  Got it on second round and then we were off to final boss.

This was the reason I was here. I had planned to analyse this fight on plus 0 to see what was going wrong on plus 1. In the end, I think it truly came down to teamwork and breaking down tasks... kite healer would remind people of orbs, and pizza slice coming for us. Off Tank would let people know to kill yarga after order or opperations was done (orbs, creepers, spider). In the end though, was a close call with most questionable exectue to ever be seen... We Derserved to die but didn't.

It was fun!

Note: You can can use Olorime or Spell power cure. I would consider what kind of group and which dungeon you will be entering before picking which set.

Why these Gear Choices?

Major courage is standard choice of gear for any healer that give about raw buff in dps around 5% . Spell power cure for dungeons is my picked as you can use the buff, before the fight, and works better in less corindated groups along with out side stack and burn situations.  As noted there is another set that gives major courage if user prefers it.

There's nobody, but I debating spell power cure usage, but I will give a pro list of each one that people can make their own decision on, and not annoy me debate of it. It's about flexible vs effective in this case.  But here... it goes so not leading people astray.

SPC
* Works better in more mobile fights (Bloodroot, fang lair, frost vault...etc)
* Works better when stack and burn isn't really an option
* Works better when groups are more focused on understanding mechs
* Allows you to buff before the fight

Olorime
* Longer duration by far with 30 secs
* More Engaging then spc
* Easier to keep uptime with good groups


Material Knowledge is used, because Master Aritect doesn't work on Sorc class... >..> as overload isn't a real ultimate. Powerful Assault was exluded.... because it gives bad raw stats, and would take unnecessary bar slot. Infallible Aeather was excluded, because of the changes to set during course of scalebreaker that makes necessary to do a full heavy attack, and other options to provide this buff  and save a gear set option. With that in mind, along with the builds's purpose to buff to dps, this became the best choices for Sorc healer combination.

Bar 1 Enchantment: Weakening glyph with infused trait or minor fracture/minor breech poison combination. As the poison is slot able, it gives use a choice depending on group on which debuff to provide.

• Bone Surge
• This skill I debated long and hard on, but it I decided to go with it for a few reasons. First off it will provide another synergy in the group with makes it easy for looki users to continue forward. The group shield if used right can in a way prevent what could be a one shot. 
• Combat Prayer
• Standard group but that provides defensive and offensive buff to healers. No healer should be without it.
• Twlight Maritach
• Strangley buffed in dragonhold so does huge heal that should fill most up back to 100% now.
• Illustrious Healing
• Long last heal that is also quite powerful 
• Radiating Regeneration
• Use this before fights to give a prebuff

Bar 2 Enchantment: Shock glyph with a charged trait will eliminated the need for IA in . As it has a high chance to ally same buff (minor Vulnerability) it with light attack unlike IA which needs full heavy to apply it after scalebreaker patch. So save a set and get another buff instead.

• Storm Plusar (flex)
• In dungeons this is nice for extra minor maim on some common trash pulls. Also has a chance to proc arrane well. To use effectively must be used at start of fight. 
• Energy Orb
• Standard Heal over time for allies and sustain source
• Twlight Maritch
• Strangley buffed in dragonhold so does huge heal that should fill most up back to 100% now.
• Storm Blockade
• This is used to set enimies off balanced once every 20 secs and last for 7 secs while also giving double resources back from heavy attacks to allies. 
• Elemental Drain
• Standard debuff and buff still for healers to help with adds and sustain of allies and self.

Summary

Combat

Summon Winged Twilight: Increased the heal of this ability and the Twilight Matriarch morph to be closer to the heal power of Rushed Ceremony. This will result in approximately 87% increase for the base, and approximately 55% increase for the Matriarch. Note that these abilities will continue to scale exclusively with Max Magicka.

Ball of Lightning (morph): This morph now ranks up in duration of the summoned ball of lightning, which now lasts 3 seconds at Rank IV, up from 2. This morph also adds 2 seconds of snare and immobilization immunity after teleporting.

Streak (morph): This ability now creates a cone behind you after casting that damage and stuns enemies inside of it. The length is now 17 meters with a 40 degree arc, rather than being a 4 x 15 meter rectangle. This means the ability will require more precise aiming when attempting to land on top of an enemy, but will require less precise aiming when attempting to cast near an enemy.


Betty Netch:
This ability and its morphs now grant Major Brutality and Sorcery at base, but the base ability no longer restores Magicka every second while active.
These abilities now remove 1 negative effect from you every 5 seconds.
Reduced the duration to 19 seconds from 22 seconds on the base ability.
Blue Betty Netch (morph):
This morph reinstates the Magicka restore functionality.
Reduced the final duration to 25 seconds, down from 27 seconds.

Dive: This ability has received new functionality to help it stand alone as a spammable, but has received some reductions to the base functionality that were in place to make up for the fact that it lacked any gameplay altering effects.
Reduced the damage of these abilities by 10%, and increased their base cost to 2700 from 2430.
If you are at least 12 meters from the target upon dealing damage with these abilities, you now set them Off Balance.

Swarm:
Increased the cost of this ability and its morphs to 2970 to encapsulate their new functionalities.
These abilities now apply Minor Vulnerability to the target for the duration of the DoT.


Northern Storm (morph):
The Max Magicka granted from this morph is no longer enabled passively by slotting. Instead, it is granted for 30 seconds after activating the Ultimate.
Increased the amount of Magicka granted to 9% from 8%.
This morph now ranks up in 2% Max Magicka granted per rank, up to 15% at Rank I, rather than 1.1% damage done per rank.

Dive: This ability and its morphs now set the target off-balance if you are 7 meters or further, rather than 12 meters.

Conclusion

• What does my echoing vigor tooltip match for well healing springs? Like I don't even have cp passives in stamina healing.
• Stamina healers will over power magicka healer
• Can my Nb healer will reach all group with path instead of springs?
• I heard Dk healers still have a lot of buggs
• Some classes Heals over time go to lowest ally while others go randomly like dk
• Some classes burst heal go to lowest ally by far
• Necromancer, Sorcerer and Dk unlike other classes can provide major protection or maim to group.
• Won't Synergies be more important next patch with healers have more downtime? When will nightblade and dk get one? Would be okay if it's on a new healer skill line.
• Why was Twilight Matriarch nerfed by 69% when it takes two bars? Can we get some utility or something in return instead of straight nerfs?
• Can I still proc dark magic heal on my sorc even if doesn't hit anything with encase?
• Why doesn't Sorc class have AOE burst heal like ever other class? Combat prayer radius is small... and would take other one if you gave us minor berserk to give to group. Even dk's got cinder storm...
• When will Sorc get real healer like utility?
• Why was Empoward ward nerfed when

• As a Dk healer Trimimic kinda looks cool now that raw healing might be more important. Thanks
• Finally siphon is useful.....Thank you. I like either morph instead of neither now.
• Thanks for remove of cast time on undaunted altar.
• Thank you for giving
• Thanks for coming monday orb change that gives it synergy to 12 people. This makes Navi set viable now without restricting worm set .... or hircuine (if stamina dps want to use it now)
• Thanks for healing springs
• Rapids regain change is weird, but I hope still targets lowest ally in radius.
• Thanks for at least trying to raise skill cap
