    I wasn't criticizing you for the CS combo, more in the irony of your posts. I've used it before it is do able.

    I don't know if you've actually used it, but I have to completely disagree. The 5% crit bonus helps a lot. I usually throw up CS immediately afterwards and watch it crit for up to 400-500s.

    Because yours was the first post I read when loggin onto the thread. Also, many (not just you) forget there are plenty of reasons that Burst and Hots should be used separately. No need to go through that long animation of AcB when topping off the whole team with a simple CS HoT will suffice. It isn't always about power either. For the longest time, I had it in my head that CS was weak and cost a lot of power; its actually cheap (same cost as Renew?) but is pretty weak PER PERSON. Multiply that though for all that receive it (of course assuming they need it) and it is a pretty damn decent heal. Would I use it as a MAIN heal if someone need health FAST? Hell no. But there is a USE to it in bigger teams.

    I think Alpha and you others will really see a HUGE difference on what you put in your loadout when we get the Armories. From what little I understand about it, we will be able to "switch" from one loadout and PP/SP allocation into a completely different one. I am sure many will use this to be a better DPS/off role toon. I plan on using it to make a better healer build for raids/healer build for solo/duos/alerts. I firmly believe we all will see HUGELY different uses for many of these healing powers, stuff we all haven't considered in even this very comprehensive forum thread. Not criticizing any of you. Just be aware that many say "this or that won't work" up until someone proves that it does.

    Although i do agree that GL is better then CS, i disagree that the reason most healers are not using it is because they want to top the charts... It has a cast time so someone can die in it before you get the initial heal off. Not to mention you REALLY dont even need it.

    lol i think his new loadout has a shield in it :)
  6. BrotherMutant New Player

    4 person shield is ALWAYS a good idea. ;)

    never even considered NOT putting the shield in my Loadout. As for GL, it is difficult for me to NOT pick it since I opened up the whole left side to get the shields, why not spend another PP to get GL too. Still, I go with Renew/Blessing/AcB/CS/DL/SC of my choosing. It all serves me pretty well so far.

    I always leave myself with 4 PP left after i spec my powers lol, So i can get my innates from the iconic tree... I BLAME PVP for that lol jk

    Shields in pvp are a gamble. If you are debuffed, useless, if you aren't awesome.
  9. Ekaterina Committed Player

    O and to your shield comment totally agree only place shields dont work well at is n pvp because you get debuffed and it whips the shield.

    Hate to disrupt your squabble, but i wanted to discuss some celestial stuff.

    So last night i tried testing a loadout with defile and darkpact in it. it goes

    1. defile
    2. darkpact
    3. retribution
    4. iconic robot (curse for pvp)
    5. amazonion def (pvp)
    6. Iife drain

    Defile has its jump cancel which is overrated but makes its point. Im at cr63 and doing t3 alerts and duos and i must admit i like this loadout. The damage is good and retribution proves again to be a superior staple power for celestial. ret+defile are great range attacks and my current rotation starts:

    Life drain, darkpact, ret, defile, ret+ cele-combo.

    What i like best about this loadout is that you have plenty of points left over for iconic passives- especially if you think amazonian or robot suck- gives you the chance to up your dom +25 and get +100 more power in addition to the standard staples. You only have to tap into the blessed tree for 2 points to get retribution, and then you can venture deep into the cursed tree and always have options like death mark or wither.

    You might wanna do a little work on that math. With 4225 restoration, CS ticks for 196-266.
  12. AIpha New Player

    CS has a base of 10-14. With 4225 rest that is Healing=Base*(1+Resto*.0025). Healing=10*(1+4225*.0025)=115.625 or 116. Thats the math.

    Your math is wrong dude. Put this in excel, and type in your numbers:


    =(14*(1+0.65)*(1+(4225/400)))

    14 is the max base, 4225 is my resto.

    267 is my max, 190 is my low.
