    Tilz told you correctly. The only combo (pure healing) that you should be using is AcB. The rest are initial casts.

    Thanks, that's really valuable information, I think (if it hasn't been done already) this should be in the healing guide on the 1st page as well.
    I always figured PE does reduce all power-related ability costs by a bit not just initial ones. Changes quite a bit for combo powers then :)
  3. Charmed Legacy Dedicated Player


    Yes it does, PE is great for other powers just not combo powers imo. :(
  4. Schimaera Devoted Player


    Well it isn't that bad. The difference between those two - if comparing only initial power costs - is like 0,25% in favour of Power Efficiency. That being said, Reserve Tank is still great for Combo Powers. In the matter of celestial I agree now that Reserve Tank is superior if it is only due to one ability having a needed combo. :-3
  5. Charmed Legacy Dedicated Player


    I just don't think it's fair to the combo powers that they made a mod that only benefits "normal" powers using initial casts. The mod should either be changed or one created exclusively for combo powers. That's just my opinion tho.

    EDIT: Combo powers get the short end of the stick quite often in this game...
  6. Schimaera Devoted Player


    Hmm imo it's somewhat exaggerated. I play combo powers for years and honestly don't feel like I get the short end... I mean yes, it'd like it to see Power Efficiency work the same for all powersets, it's just ... it's 0,25% worse performance on one abilitiy as a celestial healer, really. For DPS I did test all the powers with Reserve Tank and found that they don't really benefit from that instead of running "a normal LA" with Core Strength ^_^
  7. Charmed Legacy Dedicated Player


    Pretty sure Penetrating Strikes is the better option for DPS. Fatal can correct me if I'm wrong. Just look at weapon mods. They don't benefit combo powers in DPS role. It's just one example where combo powers got the short end of the stick.
  8. Schimaera Devoted Player


    Hmm I see where you're coming from. Still, getting it off every time you reapply your PI is reasonable with a ranged tap. Though it is like every 24 seconds instead of every 20 seconds. Not saying there is no difference it's just not that big imo ^_^

    Core strength is better than penetrating strikes, but by a very thin margin. Penetrating is better on adds with higher defense, which is why it was so good during cr differential, especially in higehr rounds of SM

    It's not about if it's a big difference or small difference in my mind. It's about fairness.
  11. Charmed Legacy Dedicated Player


    And this is why I leave the DPS stuff to you :p lol

    While it may be a small difference on the healing side, it's a little larger in terms of what Celestial DPS doesn't get use from. As you pointed out, things like Energized or Restorative mods don't work on the combo version of powers. That's not only unfair, it's wasteful design.

    I need a lot more coffee before that happens. It honestly *feels* like an oversight. Hopefully it will be changed at some point.

    This game really needs to figure out better artifacts for healers. Outside of a small Resto boast, nothing is that exciting about them.
