Heroic opportunities

[Chesa]

<p>I've been reading a few guides here and there but I don't see any mention of HOs in their spell rotations and such.  Are they not as useful at higher levels, or just not mentioned?  I'm playing a necromancer and trying to train myself in good habits while I'm young!</p>

<p>Its alright for soloing, but tbh its not much use at max lvl grping. You can definately get some useful HOs off from time to time, but most of the time its just bleh and a waste of time - and alot of the time it kills dps slightly.</p>

<p>Basically I don't use them.  They really need a serious overhaul to the HO system (such as it should scale to your level) as well as the system needs to incorporate more combinations for grouped players.</p><p>For instance if you make it semi-common for something uber to pop out of a multi-player HO this would encourage grouping a bit more (such as a mob one-shot or some 3 hour buff).</p>

<p>I use them all the time for the little melee buff they provide, as a dirge everything that can help me is welcomed. I don't wait for cooldowns, I just pop the HO and if I have an ability that I would normaly use pulsing then I hit it, but don't wait on it. On normal mobs it is probably useless but on tougher mobs maybe it will make a small difference in me dying or surviving.</p>
