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.

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?

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?

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)
