Doesn't matter, silly discussion. Maestro manadrains. Don't QM paladins, they regen enough between AEs to splash for each one. Can't do anything else, but only one paladin needs to do it so the rest can go about their business. If more than one paladin gets drained, it's bad coordination on their part so fookem.
Ahhhh, to live in the wonderful world of everyone doing exactly what they are supposed to do.......one can dream. I QM or we all die, that's the wonderland I live in.
Kind of have to agree there Roxxanna - just have 1 pally here and we still wipe on Maestro as often as we win it. (Haven't progressed past TDS1 yet and not made any headway in TBM other than Maestro which isn't progression.) Course that's because we don't have full raids and do need to allow guests with us to raid. Struggling guild or whatever you want to call it. I have also QM'd the pally (though that's been after he died).
1/2 way there. No mana return aug in the weapon that will proc on casting. Is the Helping Hand still the best "group" aug to get here? Though I guess that the bigger issue is Maestro's mana drain than anything else.
A new one would be nice, but I'm sure they would lock it behind some impossible thing you can't do unless you have an army of toons in your pocket, who are willing to spend 20-30 hours camping it with you. Kinda like the one in Crypt of Soul.
Depending on who's in my group, I may stop the multibind and just single heal as needed, trying to time it so they land just as needed.
So, I was looking through my log and came up with a list of everything that's blocked Undying Life from landing the past few months (besides buff slots being full): Bond of Bonemaw Festering Sores Muscle Spasm Marmat's Swift Deconstruction Plexipharia's Grasp Strong Disease The Spider's Web These all have a DoT component in common, but I'm not sure why that ends up blocking Undying Life. Unless it's something else? Anyone know?

The only thing I can see is they all have dot on slot 3. That would block the increase current hp by 1 of undying.
Generally the only time a SK will have the dot portion of bond on themselves is due to spell reflect or an oops in targeting. Strong Disease and its upgrade are from certain mobs in Plane of Fear and Hate. There are 2 version of "The Spider's Web" both added 9/2015, not sure which event they are a part of.
The Spider's Web is one of the AEs from Lord Spiderbraid (Anashti Sul, Lady of Life event), one of the random penalty miniboss named that can spawn when Hero`s Coffin isn't destroyed in time.
* When the coffin is destroyed. If you don't kill the coffin, you get a mini that does one of three AEs. If you do destroy the coffin, you just get one of the AEs once.
Aye, thanks for the correction. In case others read. There are three penalty minibosses: Tuthal Spiderbraid, Tremble Ravensong, Orran Cragstone. Each miniboss has a unique AE association. When a Hero`s Coffin spawns, one of the three aforementioned minibosses "can" spawn as a penalty if the coffin is not destroyed in time. If the coffin is destroyed in time, Anashti Sul AEs the spell associated with the named miniboss that would have spawned. Examples: Anashti Sul, Lady of Life begins to cast a spell. <The Spider's Web> Acidic webs fill the room and hinder and harm you. Anashti Sul shouts, 'You have prevented the return of Tuthal Spiderbraid, but his power is mine!' or Anashti Sul shouts, 'Curse you! Tremble Ravensong's spirit may be lost for now, but I have a bit of his power!' Anashti Sul, Lady of Life begins to cast a spell. <Presence of Ravenspire> Anashti Sul, Lady of Life begins to cast a spell. <Presence of Ravenspire> Anashti Sul, Lady of Life begins to cast a spell. <Presence of Ravenspire> or Anashti Sul, Lady of Life begins to cast a spell. <Stone Crag> Anashti Sul shouts, 'Orran Cragstone will return, but for now I have his magic!'
I am sure this is a dumb question, but if you have a weapon with a mana return proc, doesn't that mean you have to be hitting something with that weapon in order to have the mana return proc occur?
High level caster and priest weapons have melee and casting procs on them, like so: http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=141601 Nitora MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO TRADE PLACEABLE PRESTIGE Slot: PRIMARY Skill: 1H Blunt Atk Delay: 26 blah blah blah Required level of 100.

Bond of bonemaw is a dot on a mob but gives a healing recourse to the SK. Undying life is reported blocked on me enough that it must be the healing recourse that is blocking it. Will have to test and verify. Bond of bonemaw is not a huge heal but it is pretty much a constant HOT during a fight even if small.
lifetap dot turned into a resource tap back in CotF I thought? like, no recourse, just healing per mob it's on
I normally save Undying Life and Ward of Certitude for when the main tank seems to be taking heavier damage spikes then normal. Undying Life also does not stack with Dichotomic Shielding for Warriors so if I know they've already blown that I'll toss out Undying to ensure they get the benefit of it so it does not go to waste. If I can help it I normally save Ward to use on the tank if they lose DI so I have enough of a buffer to cast DI again without missing a beat. As far as mana issues go I rarely use a glyph and a lot of times the events I'm on will take 10-15 minutes or more of non-stop spam healing. Utilizing mod rods and VP, rarely using QM on myself and keeping Yaulp up is more than enough to keep the mana flowing. I also don't use a mana return aug in my weapon, just a regular aug for wis/mana/heal amount. My multi-bind on non cure/dmg specific events is: Spiritual Remedy, Graceful Remedy, Mystical Intervention, Virtuous Intervention, Fervid Renewal, Fraught Renewal in that order.
