[WP] Melee Build

[Rowanmantle]

Might be a silly question..
Does the HD in wrath stack with the HD you get from the subjugator proc? And if so does it make up a 50% HD if you manage to throw our both?
Don't play dps WP however I might want to try it on our LoLband nights. Just for lols.

Absence of Faith was changed recently and is now a 50% heal debuff. It doesn't stack with the subju proc, rendering said proc somewhat useless =p

That's sad. Just recently got it from an unlucky purple bag drop. Oh well thanks for the fast reply.

Absence of Faith uses a GCD, does 0 damage, and only lasts 10 seconds. I imagine there's at least some situations where DPSing using the sub hammer and relying on procs is better than actively keeping AoF up.

[peterthepan3]

There is no situation where an rng-based 25%hd is better than an ondemand 50%, imo. Assuming we are fighting competent players.

So gear wise it looks like getting to full Merc is a priority before worrying about the scen weapon?

Useless ? Uptime is king, no?

[peterthepan3]

You can maintain near-constant uptime on aof if you cover it well.

Get full merc and epic weapons (armor debuff and slow proc)

What are some of your favorite renown builds?

As a Melee Healer I have slotted most points into defensive stats such as dodge disrupt and parry. With a couple others spread out across the higher yielding stats per point (STR and Wep Skill).

Is it better to build STR and CRIT so I have a chance for higher heals or is surivability the most important ATM?

[peterthepan3]

if you're melee, you wanna get some futile strikes to bring your chance to be crit low. rest into parry/crit (3 points crit and rest parry if ur going dps, if youre going melee heal just max out parry/fs/get RD)
