My Mystic is now played as an alt toon. Have full set of vp armour, fairly decent jewllery and couple of woe patterns.

My questions are occasionally I use him as OT healer in raid or WOE MT shammy. I currently ahve 184 AA points.

Question 1 - My Shaman AA build has 70 points in it
Str - 4 4 6 8 1
Sta - 4 4 4 8
Wis - 4 7 4 8 1

is it worth having the points in str or is it better putting them in agility for the heal crit ? When I have my healing aa setup I dont really go for melle damage but focus purely on heal / cure / etc.


Question 2 - What is the circumstance in which supplication of the fallen is beneficial or meant to be used for ?

Question 3 - Kindred restoration. Does the heal trigger on termination of the ward once it has been used up to absorb damamge or only when the ward goes it full time and runs out naturally ( i suspect the first but woudl like to check). Is it worth putting AA points into it ?

Any help is welcome - thankyou

How do you pronounce your name?

Take points out of ur STA line for Agi, only go STA if you're already capped on HC.

supplication is a waste of an AA, but once you get to around 197 none of it really matters. It's just for rezzing a ton of people who don't want to run.

Yes it triggers once the grp ward runs out, or lasts its full duration

suiuc

Ty Xrath for that

Wiz its kind of pronounced Su e ic

My mystic name is Cuius which in latin means saintly

If you spell cuius backwards you get suiuc

cuius/suiuc

Was a slow day when I thought that one up

Question 1 - Your aa setup is fine. That's actually the one I use on the shaman tree. Unless like someone else stated you need the crit from lack of gear or add a little dps in the mix, etc.

Question 2 - Never. In your mystic tree get Spirit Dance. 8 player (random) no rez effects rez.

Question 3 - It's worth it and it is one time termination or prevention termination. Count it as a 100% overloaded heal proc that always casts when ward prevention hits 0 (time or dmg). This is one of the most useful additions to mystic wards because the damage taken by a group when an ae hits will be reduced by the ward THEN whatever damage left will be healed. (Not entirely but you understood that already.)

self buffed solo heal crit is 56% - do u think its worth putting points in agility ?

Not really. If you are aiming for healing, and you are raiding tso content, a lot of the gear you will get will boost you up to around 75%. Then add in your epic if you dont already have it and a bard. You should be sitting at or around 90%

Xrath

you want your wards critting, if you cant make it to 100% with a Bard and Scrolls + pots, then dont take points out of your agilitiy line.

Wait until you can get to 85% self buffed

Enyeto

I never took the agi line for crit when I made this toon so I can't actually give an experienced comment on it like the quoted.

Im only self heal crit at 76% But with a:

Troub you get +10% to all crit
Coercer you get +8%? (i think, i cant quite remember or is it 16%?)
Dirge you get +7.5%
Illy you get nothing unless they spec for the heal crit in sta line.
Scroll is +3%
Elixir is +4%

There are ways you can get to 100% with buffs and allow you to get a piece of gear that may have more crit bonus or a nice group proc, etc. There will always be a little leash to use with these choices. If you go the 85% self buffed then you will never have to use scrolls and elixirs (they do get to be a hassle to keep in stock) but you will decide for yourself what you feel best is. (Optimaly you never want to not have <100% because theres no check vs heal resist :D )

Xrath

Yup yup, all depends, my coercers are all speced for dps and give me no HC, and Im in OT with a dirge.

atm I sit at exactly 100% without scrolls / pots

It's also nice to be a little bit over so you can swap out gear for power, say Anashti sul, without going under 100 HC
