Tips and Hints to Creating Sick Healing and DPS Profiles!

Currently I roll a Mystic (Primary Healer) and Inquisitor (Secondary Healer) combo and they can keep me alive to kill the monkey by just sitting in the water and making him a tank and spank. The only downside to my combination is that when I need an AoE Blocker, all I can do is hope Bladedance is up. Other than that I have to compensate is by pushing some major heals.

The Mystic

For the Mystic, in her priority tab and separated it into 2 sections. In the first section I have PRIMARY necessities. For example, Cure curse, cures, Bolster, Stun/Fear/Stifle/etc., Stampede and Ritual of Alacrity. In the second section I have all the heals, both wards and instant heals. At the top I insure that I have the best and fastest casting heals, Ancestral Ward, Ritual Healing, and Spirit Tap at the top of the order. These alter, aside from Spirit Tap, in 5% increments from each other. For example, Ritual Healing| 40%| Target = Tank| Type = Heal --> Ancestral ward| 45%| Target = Tank| Type = Heal. Now these ratios also correlate with the Power Heals Tab. in the Power Heals Tab I have the exact same ratios + additional spells like Ancestral Channeling to maximize the Bot's responsiveness to an immediate heal when your tank health is low. Back in the Priority tab as the heal priority goes down its a jumble of heals wards and buffs and a res, and I could go on and on, but that'd just be to long :). However I do want to note that, the Res: Spirit Dance, is located toward the bottom of the order. This is because I don't want the Mystic as my primary reviver, I have the Dirge and Inquisitor to accomplish that for me first.

Let’s move along to the buff tab. I'm pretty sure everyone has the same buffs located where I do, but there is one specific buff that needs to have some more attention. That buff is Ancestry. Personally, I feel Ancestry should stay on the ~~Primary Healer~~ not the Beastlord, the Assassin, the Brigand, or tank or whomever, but on the Mystic or other ~~Primary Healer~~. Note the buff increase trigger chance of spells and adornments, so when put on your healers you've increased your survivability ten-fold. *Note* My Mystic is completely red adorned, so with Ancestry + Luck of the Dirge all adornments from 2.0 times/minute through 2.6 times/minute have jumped up to 2.8 times/minute through 3.2 times/minute.

The last thing I want to mention about the Mystic is the Pre-casts and Post-casts. In the Precast I have Ritual on only 2-3 spells, Umbral Barrier (increases to 120k ward at times) and Prophetic Ward (increases to 120k ward as well, but only against Noxious). I also have Spirit Aegis in there, but its recast and return ward have made me have second guesses whether or not to include it in Ritual. As for Post-cast I have Wards of the Eidolon after, and ONLY AFTER, Ancestral Channeling has been casted. This is because the Recast is over 7 minutes and the ward isn't that great, but it works a double positive. 1) After Ancestral Channeling has been casted it acts as a buffer, so everyone can stay fully healed and 2) It clears the reuse of Ancestral Channeling.

The Inquisitor

The Inquisitor is a much simpler build, because his healing is based off of Damage and Reactives. Once again I have the Priority Tab divided into sections, five sections for the Inquisitor. The First section includes Cure curse, Myth Cure, Group Cure, and 2 Single Target Res', because they are the fastest casting, target to the Tank, the Primary Healer, and then the group. In section two, I have a mess of heals that vary at 5% increments, But also I have certain Maintained spells that assist in DPS and Healing. THE MOST IMPORTANT SPELL IN THE INQUISITOR LINE, and personally most over powered heal in the game, is Fanatic's Protection. This spell is what allows me to tank and spank the monkey. The spell has a 60% chance stone skin when I fall below 50%, Reflects 120% of the damage inflicted to me, restores power to the group, and increases all healing to me by 10%. *Note* this spell was upgraded through the Inquisitor Prestige Line to the max, every part was upgraded to 3/3. The spell acts as a buffer to kill the monkey by stoneskining the 200k-400k hits the monkey would inflict on me. That spell is at the top and on Combat spell, Maintained, and only on the tank. toward the bottom of the second section I have spells like Chilling invigoration and Fanatics inspiration and Malevolent Diatribe. The Third section contains all my recastable Battle Buffs. Divine Recovery, Divine Guidance, Inquisition, and emergency reactives set at 25%. Third and Fourth sections include single target cures and group heals.

In the Buffs I simply just put Inquest, Shield Ally, and Divine Armor on my tank. I have no Power heals, Pre-Casts, or Post-Casts within my profile and as for the Combat Arts I continue to fiddle and mess with, but to no avail.

Comments

I linked my profiles so that everyone could give them a try. The highest maintainable healing parse I have seen from my healer combination is Mystic | 48k and Inquisitor | 38k giving me 86k in healing. My healers sport all Easy Mode CoE and some PoW armor, the Mystic is at 6k ability mod and all stats are maxed (Casting Speed/Reuse/Recovery/MA/DPS/Haste/ect.)

Please feel free to post any Hints/Profiles/Tips you can muster about any class pertaining to DPS or Healing. I'm sure there are many others like me who cant seem to find the little tricks used to increase the DPS or heals out of their bots or are seemingly lost when it comes to understanding how everything works.

Lastly I would like to give recognition to Dudester, because I have been using his profiles to create my own and they are modified versions of his basis.

Using monkey isn't that good of an idea, because it's highly subjective on what tank you're using and also luck on avoids. There's not really that much healing involved with it.

Mystic -

Your priority tab is a mess, and frankly is too heavy. I'd really be surprised if it gets past the priority tab much. The same results can be achieved with a lot less in the priority tab.

Heals in the power heals, just no - leave them in the priority tab.

Ancestry on the mystic isn't going to increase the survivability by 10. If it really is, something is really wrong.

Ritual should be used on spirit aegis first, it wards for more. Even if I'm guessing low here and saying that your aegis is only 300k, that's still > 120k. Also, ritual doesn't get used up if it is used on prophetic, so if you add a post-cast to prophetic, say umbral barrier, you get two with the 36% bonus.

For the debuffs in named ca, you only need echoes. You can add in deteriorate if you lack str debuffs in the group/raid.

AA's - Heroic: Dog dog stoneskin is honestly bad unless it ever gets fixed. With trying to run a heavy healing, switch the points to stats, and spiritfire to points in ancestral. Prestige: Once again with a heavy healing, points in helpful spirits will do more than in brainstorm.

You should also add that you have an item being used in your profile, and probably best to have it disabled by default for others to use.

Thank you for your feedback I will definitely look into it. This is exactly what I was hoping for when I created this thread. A place where people could ascertain assistance from those who have more experience.

I personally run a defiler in the MT grp and he pretty much single handedly deal with all the heals.
I have an INQ as well but it is mostly just a curebot. (still keep major reactives maintained and lets not forget DG)

Running a Mystic in MT group and not a defiler?

Should I swap and run my Defiler in my MT group?
The Defiler is an amazing healer and can easily bring its own DPS to the table. The reason I choose the Mystic over the Defiler is, because of the Buffs (Ancestry, Ancestral Avatar), Group and Single Target Detriment Immunity (Immunization, Ancestral Support), Battle Buffs (Bolster for Tank Mitigation, Stampede which works like a CoB, Ancestral Sentry which is used as a damage dummy for the tank), and lastly Spirit Dance which resurrects up to 8 people around the Mystic to half health and power. These are the main reason's why I choose the Mystic over the Defiler.

Which Shaman you choose to roll with is completely your preference, but realize a Defiler may better suit your style of play rather than a Mystic.
