[Mr. Dawki]

I maxed it out. I like very last heal i can get, especially for solo. Not going to make a big different raid tanking, but is still useful in a raid for getting hp back after an AE. <div></div>

I picked up all the heal/lifetap AA as soon as I could and wouldn't change it if I had to do it again, including the grim coil skill. It acts as a HoT for a small amount and can even give you a faster recovery after the fight if you cast it near the end.

I maxed it out.  I solo quite a bit, and yes, every little bit of heal helps, especially since I've got coil ticking away whenever it comes up.  And in group situations, with an added heal component, adds to hate (at least I think it does).  In general, I guess I like it since it gives an added benefit without having to change my playstyle any.

Well worth having if you went down to Reaver. Crit coil heal almost negates the lifedrain from reaver and since you were going to cast coil anyway for damage the heal part is a nice bonus.<div></div>

<P>It's very good HOT you get..  Reaver line owns,  every little bit of any AA in that line helps to increase your tank power.</P> <P>Guess what was interesting last night?  I did OOB run,  a lone lvl 57 mystic went ld at early of OOB run,  I had 4 dps classes..  I decided to continue fighting WITHOUT any healer. I was able to do it all way to FINAL boss.  Had to get another healer to help us out with final boss.  I did it pretty good killing all other nameds and mobs without healer. Yes, I had to dish out ALL lifetaps including Putrid and all others and ALL non-lifetap spells to get reaver heal off every time.  It wouldn't be doable if I have WEAK dps in group.. Fast DPS kills reduces total damage to me per kill. My self-heal self-sustains me for short duration of time against yellows enuf to see them dead before they kill me thanks to DPS from group. Against blues are easy, Lifetaps can sustain me much longer..</P> <P>So.. It's not ONLY good for solo.. It also is GREAT for group TANK in hours of NEED to survive without healer or lagged healer..  </P> <P>I had seen a SK parsed 46% of total self heal when he had lvl 70 inq in his group in OOB run.  So, with reaver line, you are basically half fighter/half healer.. </P> <P><SPAN class=time_text></SPAN> </P><p>Message Edited by Nocifer Deathblade on <span class=date_text>01-29-2007</span> <span class=time_text>09:45 AM</span>

I agree, well worth the few points spent.<div></div>

Well worth it.If you are an SK you should have that coil up all the time. It is our most power effective spell by a large margin. Why not get some health back while you're dotting something?<div></div>

You're right. The dumbfire has a lot of limitations though. Doesn't get us hate, can be killed, doesn't give us a chance to proc, etc. Coil is much more reliable, especially in raids.</div>
