rofl yeah I know, I've had it proc many times during a wipe. but I have seen it proc a few times when its actually needed.

I just installed the delay item macro and tried it out, works great.

Orb of Truth won't change that.

Anyway... it's been fucked over, time to deal with this shit...

And so you have to deal with it just like Defilers have to. You still have an oh shit the MT is in the red button, it's called your SvD. And also let me check my ACT timers, you should be looking at those in addition to everything else the entire fight and KNOW when you're good to use sacrifice without even questioning it.

mmh.... either my browsers are broken in some strange way, or that DL-link you posted doesnt work (only opens the download page with the act plugins etc) :o

I don't have a problem dealing with it if the heal was a sure thing (like defilers). It just blows if you are alittle slow because of lag or other healers spamming the tank to full and be sitting a cunt hair from death for no reason.

Defilers have twice the health after DW, and it's never wasted. The SvD is hardly a good spell.

And having the timers running doesnt prevent an AOE being late or even not coming at all (mynzak wtf?). It's not all black & white.

No AE's due, MT purple, cast Sacrifice, stealthy protector spawn and punch me in the face before my group heal goes off

Holeinabox · 04-02-2009, 02:05 PM

Too stiff of a penalty to use it...if I die it's just as bad as the tank dying. I died using it on Tyrranus the Dark lastnight, guess what happened...the tank lived 4 seconds and then dead.

WTF is the point of having it?

No sense complaining now. Well, near as I can tell, complaints made zero impact from us clerics at any time in this, so might just as well respecc and move along. I find it odd they they would code something no raid healer would use more than once.

Hmm, well that whole domain has hotlink protection. If only there were ways to only restrict certain folders or add exceptions. Well, I added EQ2Flames as an exception source. But if you copy the link and go there directly, or your browser is stripping the referral HTTP header, then it would do what you're describing.

>or your browser is stripping the referral HTTP header
