Bump, looking for best in class

Kak tank, best tank?

I'll give you 3 decorations to keep Yolo

Devasta, Kak, Raulos and Sorvali heal 16m .... make it so MIlas. I'm looking at you for this

I think you are mistaken. I have less crit then you by 92, meaning that i have 92 more power, and my crits are around 5300. Unless you are running an extreme surge build I would like to see how you are reaching 8K. My max heal, on the Raptus challenge with the healing buff was 6300 without a sin puddle. That would put me at ~6600 with puddle. What are you point rating allocations?

Good basic guide for fundamentals of Merc healing Iwipe. I would like to offer some of my finding and tricks that I have discovered that aid in turning a bad/ average Merc healer into a good one. These are primarily from the PVE perspective, but some of the ideas can be utilized in PVE. The first and fundamental "trick" (I am referring to them as tricks in reference to your guide) revolves around the use of rapid shots in the rotation. Many merc healers will healing scan > rapid scan> rapid scan until their heat is over 55 and then rapid shot to get the back down to a manageable number. By simply adding a rapid shot between each scan (excluding emergency scan) your heat will remain manageable indefinitely, while increasing the rate at which supercharged gas is gained and increasing you attacks per minute (APM). This will also allow you to maintain critical reaction permanently. The basic rotation should be healing scan > rapid shot> rapid scan> rapid shot with emergency scan, kolto missile and jet boost thrown in. While, yes, you may have moments where the tank or DPS may be getting nuked and you need to spam heal quickly make sure vent heat is up. A fight is more than just a few seconds and by spamming your big heals repeatedly for a short period of time will keep the individual alive at the moment, you will be heated out for the next 10 seconds and be of little use to your raid. The best example I can think of this is on NiM Cartel Warlords. You will need to sustain heals for the duration of the fight and any time spent for repeated rapid shots will generally result in overburdening your healing comrade and wiping the raid. Secondly, you should utilize 4 points between surgical precision systems and upgraded arsenal not 5. The 5th point should be allocated to heat dampening. This will allow you to have jet boost, which should be used very regularly as it will hit every member of you raid in range, to cost 0 heat. This like emergency scan will reduce your overall heat during the partial second it is activated and the GCD to the next heal. This will vastly improve your heat management. Remember to make sure that kolto missile has been cast in the previous 15 seconds on your raid members, as you will want the 3% healing bump before you perform jet boost. You should allocate the other 4 talents points in direct relation to the fight. For fights where little knock back will occur (think Nefra), 3 points should for to upgraded arsenal, while 1 point goes to surgical precision systems. For fights where lots of knock back is occurring (think Gate Commander Draxus) you will want to allocate 2 points to surgical precision systems and 2 points to upgraded arsenal. I would like to offer two critiques to the guide. The first is in regards to the use of supercharged gas. You state to use it on cool down. Which, while I agree, will give you your highest potential healing numbers, is not always necessarily best. Knowing your fights and knowing when to hold off on using supercharged gas is extremely powerful for raid utility. If you know you have a tough healing phase coming up in 5 or 10 seconds and you have supercharged gas up, you are probably better off waiting and popping the gas when the phase starts (Think healing challenge on Raptus). Secondly, I think your crit rating is slightly low. Due to critical reaction, and the increase to surge crit is useful to merc healers. I am in BIS 78 gear with theory crafted and tested numbers and I am running 378 crit rating. While I have gone into the DR, I can assure you that you will see an increase in overall heals and HPS. Good work on the guide, these are just some findings from an experienced merc healer. The above comments were not written to take anything away from your guide but augment it.

We are most definitely the best single target heals. I regularly crit between the mid to high 11K and low 12k. With an available emergency I have casted 22k in the same GCD.

BIS is currently Kell Dragon Serendipitous and underworld sernedipitous
