Xeno: I get it. It's just an example of how people use the word "clipping." Don't read so much into it.

I get opportunity cost, too. You value it by asking what else you might have done, had...

Maybe it will be clearer if I make it more concrete?

Situation: You have 6 seconds of SH DOT left on your target, but you've recently used the cooldown reset so SH is up again. What should you...

It won't stop you from being deathblow fodder in a game full of pros. It only means there's one guy on the other team getting paved just as hard as you are.

Yes it matters. But not much. And Valor is mostly normalized. So most PvP defense comes from talent spec.

I didn't get a math degree, I went to law school. So I am supposed to be able to communicate and convince. I have no excuse for sowing confusion like this. But I do think I could clarify a...

You've managed to disagree with THEFUNKBOT while making the same error he is making. So you've inspired me to try again to explain.

The error is the part I've pulled out in quote. Here is how...

Think he means on the scorbored where AFAIK, it is not included. Neither is salvation healing.

In before "scoreboards are meaningless!" :
I'd like to know how much healing my fairy (or...

Look, you can't spam SH. It has a cooldown the same length as the DOT. That's the entire point.

You can only ever overwrite it once every two minutes. Which is completely trivial. Even if BoJ...

Yes, you should. You can go on and macro it to BoJ so that will happen automatically. I had assumed everyone did this because it seemed obvious to do. They don't, apparently, and I regret the...

I know that's *your* argument, but both I and another guy already tried to explain to you how to think in terms of damage-per-GCD. You didn't get it and probably won't get it. I was replying to the...

What, by standing there doing nothing for 10 minutes by a flag? Sorry, not fun. I have a bigger effect in every single other map. By, you know, actually fighting and stuff. Playing.

I'm the...

If you want to run around in a solo spec hunting 1v1s, there's 20-odd zones where you can do it, on a PvP server. What's that you say? Nobody does that? Maybe because IT ISN'T FUN.

Keep...

It's a good point. Being a bare-minimum useful healer is much easier than being a bare-minimum useful DPS.

If you're going to have bad players, you want them to be healing. Especially on specs...

Get rid of the domination maps. They're a cheap shortcut by Trion to avoid designing a new map, by sticking some command points onto maps not designed for them. The gameplay doesn't work on many...

It's a good soul. I play it because I think it's effective in the current meta. But you're overrating it.

Defiler has very pronounced strengths and weaknesses. It's a walking focus-fire...

Sure. Defiler isn't even the most popular soul for its PvP role (ST healing) - that would be Sentinel. And there are other PvP roles (DPS, AE healing).

IDK about warriors. Half of them seem to...

In theory all your cooldowns line up at 30 seconds. 30/15/15/15/10. And Resounding with constant EOL ticks ends up at 7.5, which still lines up. So you'd get your four-hit combo every 30s even with...

- I plan on being a healer (more on this below), but what is the best cleric DPS spec to play on the side, when I get bored? I levelled as a shaman and quite like it, is that viable in end game pvp?...

By comparison I can keep myself alive thru one focus fire, or even two or three if they are weak. And I get a 10-second godmode every minute. And it's even harder to focus down anyone besides me,...

Sure, if you're the only healer. But it's an advantage, especially with cross-heals.

I play defiler to heal, and I'd much rather have a chloro as a second healer than a sentinel. Or god forbid...

And a HP bonus from living aegis
And a HP bonus from raised in nature
And a HP bonus from 10 warlock.

Sentinel can get the 10 warlock bonus from 5 justicar - though it has to give up 15% healing...

Still the best achievement name! I link it when people ask me to link achieves for pickup raids. If they fail to be impressed, they're not the kind of raid leader I want to help out anyway.

Druid is pretty mindless-capable. Standard practice is to dump all the attacks in a macro and only keep a couple DOTs seperate. And you could even skip the DOTs, they aren't very strong. I bet...

Casting a 1.5s BoR is a DPS loss. You cast as many BoR as you get cast-time-reduction procs. Since SH does not consume one of those procs, it never replaces a BoR. It only ever replaces BoJ.
