Ahov's Guide to Senticar

[usman]

I was unable to replicate the ICD problem on dummy, as the projectile from BoR hit before my GCD was ready - this was from max range. Is this only an issue when the projectile takes longer to reach the target when the mob is "tall" - like stingers etc on akylios?

I myself prefer to do a conviction steadying macro instead of the max dps one, so I do Sovereignty top instead of the other instant casts, so that it's cd is running first and not last.

Your better off using the short CD's first so that by the time you get down to Sovereignty they're ready to use again , this way in a pressured situation you get a better flow of convictions.

I rolled a senticar sometime ago for Estrode and picked the 2 rezzes spec as we were progressing at the time. However I found it rly buggy, and my second rez never worked - assumed they shared a cooldown - so I respecced.

Going into ID, I'd love those 2 rezzes back and assume (given that no-one pointed out this problem) that they don't share a cooldown. In which case, why don't they work? Help Plox?

I'd recommend having a seperate keybind/macro for each battle rez. They do not share a cooldown but if you have them both bound to the same key you can definitely accidently blow both on one target. Having them seperate also helps you keep an eye on their specific cooldown. something like this for the Justicar rez:

#show Absolution
suppressmacrofailures
s Battle Rezzing %t
cast Absolution

adjust as necessary

Yeah, I had them on separate keybinds, will give it a spin this evening in Expert and ask my guild members to die so I can test it.

Why do you need to ask them?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Thanks for the guide. I'm just getting into raiding with my cleric, and senticar is next up on my list to play with.

+10.

Ahov, I like senticar and Phase who I'm in guild with and who posted earlier plays it very well. Every raid should have someone who can play it. But I don't think Matt and Katia were wrong. I still use their spec to this day as my main healing soul and can do anything the senticar builds can except 2 bres. In fact I find it makes healing smoother and less up and down. Both specs have their fights..

I remember those days, with 7 healers on Hylas and they still failed.

Basically, those clerics inspired me to roll my cleric and figure out why they were failing so much.

And, no, I don't believe sent/warden has a slot in any raid.

Totally different though. It's not at all like it is today. We were in t1and t2 dungeon gear, low hitpoints, and no one knew an archon could soften the blow of soul fracture. If you exclude a spec because of stuff that happened back in the day, you are only hurting yourself and your guild. RD despite its gsb struggles did end up being in the top 25 in the world for ros conquerer.

I have a request for an Ahov's guide on trolling. Thanks in advanced!

Out of curiosity. Why not use Purifier as opposed to Warden? You do lose Tidal Surge, yeah, but with 4 points in Purifier you get Healing Flame. A 1.5 second cast that with Serendipity becomes instant cast. Replacing Healing Invocation with it you have a faster heal, albeit weaker, that becomes instant from time to time. (Mind, I'd still keep HI together with that Touch the Light.)

...of ourse, that does leave 6 points to put elsewhere.

Because you don't need weak ST heals on the move. You already have DoL, HB, and healer's haste in case you "really" need mobile ST healing. I can't think of a single encounter that requires heavy ST healing and mobility, though, to the point the aforementioned skills can't handle it.

Thoughts and or opinions on going 38 sent 22 justi 6 w/e for MBTL when solo healing fights. Trying to make a senticar spec to solo some shtuff in HK, or at least minimise other healers. Works well in places like GP e.t.c. have you given it a whirl, or consideration Ahov?

#show Light Bolt
suppressmacrofailures
cast light bolt
cast strike of judgment
cast life's vengeance
cast bolt of radiance
cast sovereignty
cast waterjet

Waterjet is higher DPS and HPS then Banish.

[Jsin166]

Personally I'll keep Banish on its own button for movement conviction building, as it only gains convictions with the first tick. Thus spamming that button (like most people do) will not gain any convictions for you, because your spamming it faster then it takes for 1 tick to happen.

#show Light Bolt
suppressmacrofailures
cast light bolt

Waterjet is higher DPS and HPS then Banish.

Banish is a last-ditch effort for generating convictions. It has nothing to do with DPS, and for the record, Banish>Waterjet in terms of DPS. After 1 banish is up, then you would defer back to other skills (but, again, DPS isn't the largest concern with Senticar)
