Heals... Max frequency for greatest efficiency or save?

[Gykon]

Does it make more sense to pop the heal every 3 minutes on someone if they are hurt or save it for when people need to buy time to a big heal or end of the fight.The first idea, is that over hours of fighting any non-heal minutes are wasted mitigation of damage, the other that, the heal is so small, that its better to place it right on that seam of life/death, succeed/fail, so hold it.<div></div>

<DIV>I like to think of it as an emergency heal so if the healer needs some help when the tank gets hit with alot of dmg very fast ill pop it. You don't want to waste it and not have it up when its needed. Let a healer heal and let us emergency heal/intercede/rescue to keep the group alive</DIV>

<DIV>Personally, so that that as you will :smileyhappy:, I use it in emergency situations.  Most of these situations occur during raids when a mob blasts the MT and the healers are trying to spam heal and ward.  By casting heal then, you can give the MT another hit or two while those emergency heals/wards are being casted.</DIV>

I use it when I or the MT needs it.  I do not hold it for an emergency but don't use it the second it pops either.  If in group I try to tell the healers I'm throwing it.  IMHO it's all about total HP the mob dishes out vs total HP MT has/has healed over the course of the fight so waiting till an emergency is not very attractive.  The most important thing is to not waste the heal with overlap past full from the healers.  In fact, I often find that right at the start of the fight the healers may not be able to get enough healing going if they are surprised by the number of mobs or how hard they hit so I end up popping it then for some breathing room.

<DIV> <P><SPAN>I believe you should be popping intercede at the start of the fight to give the healers a chance to keep the MT up since most mobs cast their special CA off of start... Our heal is an insta heal and IMO should be used for emergencies since it takes no time to cast. Casting it to just help the healers out is useless b/c the only time a healer needs help is when the MT is about to die from spike damage.</SPAN></P></DIV>

depends on the situation for me, when im grouping and not the tank i'll always heal the tank whenever i can just to help the healer on power, but during raids i usually save it for emergencies.

Often, on some of those long range pulls, where the MT is out of the healers' ranged for a few moments until he gets into position, I'll trot along with him, and if he gets below 50% before he's back into range of the healers... I'll pop it on him to keep him up until he IS in their range...Our heal can be cast while moving. (=<div></div>
