Yaulp and you, whats its role?

[Duskwo]

<p>hey there, im having some issues with Yaulp. Now im only level 30, but I LOVE it, the 20% double attack is amazing, as is the attack speed. whats killing me is the -ministration and focus. I cant cast a [Removed for Content] heal for the life of me, and find myself sometimes dying when I shouldnt.</p><p>so, do you turn yaulp off to heal and turn it back on? Or do you only run it when DPSing and offhealing? I play on nagafen, so its tough to remember to turn it off then back on to heal in pvp! Any tips? <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>There really is no penalty for not having Ministration maxed out.  If you did have it at the cap+ for your current level, then your heals would cost slightly less.  But that's it.</p><p>Focus is an important skill.  However by your level, you really shouldn't be casting very many spells in combat unless you're fighting multiple mobs at the same time.  Pulling with a Vengence after prebuffing with your single target reactive should be more than enough.  At various times, that might even be over kill for what you're fighting.  Since your real dps will be coming from your auto attack and CA, having a lower Focus score shouldn't matter much.</p><p>Just make sure to keep your Focus skill maxed out.  That may even mean trying to cast your Call or Odessy while you're intentionally having mobs hit you.  If your skill is maxed out, then it shouldn't be a big deal unless you're getting swarmed while trying to heal yourself.  But as already stated, eventually taking the Strength line from the Priest AA tab can fix this Focus defficiency.</p>

Respec to do this if you have to.  Get Steadfast.  You will never be interrupted again during a heal cast (unless you get knocked back).  Running Yaulp is essential while soloing.   I don't play on PvP but I'm expecting that it would be similar there. </p>
