kwndnl Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 After 43 levels of DPS leveling, I was feeling a change up in the works, so I geared Blizz and respecced to Bodyguard. I was somewhat taken aback that all the heals had CD longer than the GCD...but though, "Oh well, maybe it's just a quirk of the Merc healing tree." I went around Voss, healing Blizz through multiple elite pulls and bosses, then healed my way through Red Reaper with no wipes...twice. Then, as I was checking my skills, I found one that wasn't on my hotbar. Rapid Scan. I had been healing for 2 whole levels without the bread and butter Merc heal. Morale of the story: Before level cap, you can heal through content just fine with Rapid Shots and juggling Healing Scan/Emergency Scan CDs. But really? How did I not realize I was missing a whole spell?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberkind Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 But really? How did I not realize I was missing a whole spell?! Because it's the least good one? Because never pressing it kept you from getting out of sequence on Healing Scan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svensy Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Because it's the least good one? You'll be using rapid scan A LOT more than you'll use healing scan when you're healing proper content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omarax Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Because it's the least good one? Because never pressing it kept you from getting out of sequence on Healing Scan? It's a damn good heal, it just has to be used properly or it will overheat you quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DervimNorth Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 You'll be using rapid scan A LOT more than you'll use healing scan when you're healing proper content. Yeah, especially so when it becomes a free one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finneas Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 And ALSO isn't it odd that the one called "rapid" has a longer cast time than the one called "healing?" You'd think that someone would have swapped the name for them way back in beta... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
