[DoK] Healing spec guide.

Went ahead and found the WL you tested against. Honestly it looks like your base ~3000 armor + pot is doing most of the work there.
4.3k armor 11% ignore armor pen.

(same skill)
11:26:46 Total dmg : 778 (Dmg : 197/778= 25%)
11:24:41 total dmg: 515 (Dmg: 134/515=26%)
Obviously there is external dmg buff/debuff involved.
The % migration isn't much different.

I have 3 k armor including pot, and 5% ignore armor pen.

Hey guys, what about your healing crit percentage in a tough build?

[edronsorc00]

Don’t build toughness.

Hey guys, what about your healing crit percentage in a tough build?

Toughness build doesn't really effects your heal crit- unlike having FS4 which will. However while having a total 5% heal crit, I still managed for example to do 3rd top healing desto side last city- with dok having nothing except self absorb going off it, heal crit on dok is really overrated.

Don’t build toughness.

Care to explain why?

Are there any healing spells that are just not worth using?

I pretty much never use restore essence.

I think it has its uses, not always though.

It's pretty much the last healing skill you'd need to use, since it's the one healing spell that has the least healing potential with one of the highest SE cost.

At higher level/tier on your character, it heal slightly more than Khaine's Embrace (accounting for the HoT) for basically the same cost, but Khaine's Embrace can heal up to 6 people.

You basically are only forced to use it when everything else is up and

1. One of your group members is being focused, everyone else is at 100%, and Khaine's Invigoration is on cooldown. A more uncommon situation.
2. Someone outside of your party is being focused and Khaine's Invigoration is on cooldown. but...

When someone outside your party is getting focused to the point where they won't survive with your Khaine's Invigoration, Restore Essence and it's HoT, and the HoT from Soul Infusion, you've basically wasted 85 essence and 4 seconds of your time keeping someone alive... when you could be keeping your own party alive with 3x the efficiency both in term of SE and time from Khaine's Embrace and Vigor alone.

Hopefully that explains why Restore Essence should be a last ditch effort to keep someone alive, you shouldn't be spamming that skill in your heal rotation. It's most often used for keeping someone out of party alive when Khaine's Invig is on CD, but if your party needs healing that should not be your priority.

Awesome! Really great info thanks
