Raid Thursday 2 January 20:00 GMT

Martial Discipline isn't up every add rush, so I'm hesitant to recommend it really. They come 30 seconds apart, so it may as well have a 60 second cooldown.

I still like Glimmer of Hope as it is always on, and is really just a mini self empowerment. With 5 hots it should have a high proc rate, and give more healing than kindle, at least. Most of the self healing I assume will come from Empowerment, and Glimmer of Hope just adds to that. Glimmer of Hope also keeps ticking along if get podded or stand in filth.

No, it is Shadows are closer to 45 seconds apart, not 30, thus it has exactly Martial Discipline's cooldown. I just watched Durr's latest video.

Shadows at

1:15 (phase changing shadow)
2:10
2:55
3:40 (phase changing shadow)
4:45
5:25

So intervals here are 55 seconds, 45 seconds, 45 seconds, 65 seconds, 40 seconds.

Alright then, that video shows that Martial Discipline with resilient defender may be best, then.

Cauterise
Nurture
Surgical Steel
Creature Comfort
Martial Discipline
Surging Blades
Stunning Swirl
Giddy Up

Empowerment
Making Amends
Shadow Medic
Mad SKills
Brawler
Healing Sparks
Resilient Defender
Whiplash


This has a mix of tank healing and self healing. When adds surround you you can use Stunning Swirl followed by Giddy Up, which will impair them as well as debuff the protection on them.

Okay, I've considered the signups and...

Just want to say that the minimum gear requirement exists for good reasons. I also check Chronicle when a new player signs up to get an idea of their gear and build.


Zytho - you're in half blue gear, which means you don't meet the requirements. I recommend doing more nightmares then coming back to the raid at a later date.

TheBerch - your fist healing gear is good, but your DPS gear appears to be only 10.1-10.2 drops mostly, rather than 10.3-10.4 customs. As such, I could sign you up, but would only consider you for the fist healing role.

I'd love to do more nightmares but no one runs anything anymore

Just logged on to check it and... I do have a blue order in my bank and no signet at all on hR/crit head I use on my healing set.
Would it be worth getting on though being just blue?

Most definitely! 30% Block chance every 4 seconds out of 10 (adds would keep it up permanently) is nothing to sneeze at! Combined with Resilient Defender, it'd be an amazing heal.

Huh? As far as I know, many people in our cabal run NMs daily. Perhaps you've had bad timing!

[Uragon]

The reason why I tend to run Martial Discipline with passive and Resilient Defender is because it works really well both for the healer and podder role. Against adds, it adds a lot of survivability, and if it's not needed there then it can also be used just before intercepting a pod. The HoT does help survive a filthy pod a bit longer too.

[Riora]

Well, that was certainly an interesting raid *laughs*

[Katelin]

Wasn't an ideal ending - but was a somehow successful first time kill nonetheless.

If I gain a response from my petition, I will let those affected know regarding further steps to take.

[Aberlour]

Ooh, do tell. I was off winter break from work so I was unable to attend the raid today. Looks like it at least ended in a kill?
