A little Help

[imnotdisco]

<p>83 inquisitor 118 aa(YES I KNOW ITS LOW, i will never powerlevel a character again becaus of this)</p><p>epic weapon</p><p>t3/t1 shard gear</p><p>Shard of Hate gloves, and other items. The gloves usually account for about 12-22% of my ZW in heroic instances</p><p>RE2 cloak, and overloaded heal gear from there.</p><p>Where the heck can i ppick up casting speed from at my lv? IVe enhanced the aa with divine recovery, ive speced for all the healing i can with what i have, heal crit and casting speed have been my primary focus. All my current heals are MAster including lv 81+ mastered heals.</p><p>I am struggling to solo heal a group. Before you say who am i healing, well im healing well geared well played toons. Ive even managed to parse upwards of 3kHPS in some fights even with another healer, but once i go solo heals for a group, i start to struggle something fierce.</p><p>I know i need more aa, but to be honest, ive gotten all the healing aas covered except the tso tree. The only thing left for me to invest aas in is battle cleric and dps aas. (i have BC and steadfast in my aa mirror for solo)</p><p>At one point my guild was rocking the raids and getting myths for everyone, then SF released and everyone left for a raid guild of 90s to run new stuff. I wont be getting my myth, i dont hav the resources or the help. I wont be getting my myth or epic converted over, been trying for weeks on my warden, and fail after fail with people who are more than capable to do it. So no i wont have access to my myth or raid gear, at least not like i did pre SF.</p><p>SO my question how am i supposed to be a better healer with what i have? IV been with this game for over 5 years (10 days from 6 year vet) but i am at wits end, i know the class well, played a inquisitor 3 different times to lv 70 and this one to 80, and i am just at a loss.</p><p>Any constructive critism or advice is more than welcomed.</p><p>AA are as follows:</p><p>Cleric:</p><p>sta line 4-4-10</p><p>int line 4-8-10-2</p><p>str line working on steadfast (this is my heal spec) 4-4-6 atm</p><p>Inquisitor tree:</p><p>Triage</p><p>Punishments</p><p>TSO Tree:</p><p>10 in general (hp/mp)</p><p>5 in singl target small heal enhanced</p><p>5 in the mit grp buff (meh seemed ok)</p><p>1 in suplication of the fallen</p><p><a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/The%20Bazaar/Tasca/">http://eq2players.station.sony.com/...20Bazaar/Tasca/</a></p><p>editted becaus i cant spell and fail at proper grammer and sentence structure</p>

<p>Honestly? More AA. The healing options in TSO is important, especially the last line for bigger heals, the SF lines for combative healing, extra reactive and base increase in group reactives, etc, etc. Sounds like you already figured out that you should probably *never* power level a healer.For inquisitors especially, as in the 75-85 range? Gear is to make sure you survive AEs. AA is how well you heal.</p><p>There really is no way around it.</p><p>From your AA you don't have shield ally, no steadfast yet (should have been one of the first things to get), the last point in Triage isn't really necessary, Allied Prayers, casting speed and crit for the single reactice, single target big heal, HEAL STANCE....</p>

<p>I'm not an inquis, but my hubby is. There's a worldwide chat channel for inquistors - I believe it's something like inquis.guk. Anywho, someone there might be able to help you with the specifics of your AA choices while you're in-game. Not sure on the specific name of the channel...</p>

<p>Two more levels and everything basically greys for your epic quest except Seb and the end fights for instances, but those are usually 1 group, if not duoable with a good tank AKA SK. Then the conversion quest is basically pretty simple as well at 85 through PUG's as an inquisitor.</p>

<p>I appreciate the help so far, couple questions though.</p><p>WHy shield ally? my personal avoidance is 11 or 12%, really doesnt seem like a good choice for me right now when aas are scarace.</p><p>Triage useless? Was under the impression, the farther away from ground zero the more survivability i would have. Should i drop this whole line all together, i feel it is almost an integral line, i can see the endline being debateable, i just figured its one more aa might as well.</p><p>Steadfast first? I understand the advantage to steadfast, but from a stand back and cast standpoint, where im not always the reciever of aoes and stuns. I figured it would be more beneficial to get my crit up and my casting speed, before going down this line which i am currently half way through atm.</p><p>Would you recommend dropping the whole supplication of the fallen and the aas i chose leading up to it, to get steadfast now instead of working to it like  i currently am. Like i said, i only have 118 aa, so i cant get into the lower parts of the tso tree due to aa requirements (120,170).</p><p>Yea powerleveling is not gonna happen for me ever again, i figured my lack of healing was coming from a lack of aa.</p><p>To the poster about the epic, i currently have my fabled version, and currently at the library step of epic repurcussions.</p><p>Zulaika if you could maybe elaborate on my questions, i would greatly appreciate it. Give me a little insight, remeber im trying to improve based on what i have. I know i will continue to acrue aa, but what can i change now for the better?</p><p>THank you</p>

Shield Ally does not cost any mana or time spent during a fight, and depending on the shield you wear in a group, can do quite a bit of good (say 10% of the tank's total avoidance), according to ACT. </p><p>If you don't have to throw a heal, or refresh your reactive so soon, you are ahead of the game.</p>

<p>Ok, so i had 21 aas in the TSO tree (all the way to supplications of the fallen)</p><p>I dropped those aa, and went ahead and finished out steadfast, and went down to shield ally, only managed to get 1 aa in shield ally due to lack of aas.</p><p>I wasnt curretnly using a shield, thats one reason my avoidance was low. Unfortunately the best shield available is the one from the shard misc merchant (wall of healing), at least thats whats attainable at this very moment for me.</p><p>My avoidance went up from 9.5 to 15.6 so a little more avoidance.</p><p>One question about this whole shield ally thing, my new shield has 15% block on it, does that translate into anything usuable by who i put shield ally on?</p><p>Hopefully this will give me a bit more ability to get my job done easier.</p><p>Any more advice or info is more than welcome. THanks Leeroy, i know your voice is pretty well respected in the inquistor community, and i appreciate your bit of info on shield ally.</p><p>ON a side note it appears i will be able to get my current fabled transferred over to enervated, i managed to find a good group that will run me through the last steps. /CHEERS</p>

<p>Yes any chance YOU have to block, parry, dodge is translated to the shield ally proc. Thus the better your block, and if you use parry and dodge food in tougher instances, you get better results. Block chance adornments (you can't use +parry, only percentages since you have no native parry ability) are expensive but some invest in them.</p><p>NOTE: if you happen to get the supple dogwood staff from VP raid zone, it has a 15% extra dodge chance that also works well with shield ally, although it's a 2 hander.</p>
