50 staff spec
i thought so, wasn't sure if anything had changed, I like the new HoT (Wish it was instant cast though), although apart from that cant see much else for rejuve line.
since my ML's are not that high yet on my friar, am going to go 50 staff, has anyone got any figures for either battlemaster or champion level melee styles, cant find any damage numbers anywhere?
spec 1
50 staff
35 enhance
24 rejuve
6 parry
with 25% buff bonus should boost up the buffs ok, either that or use a BB :-(
new stuff
improved HoT
24 Prophet's Piety - Self instant cast/30 seconds duration/30 seconds recast. 25% chance to proc a Group Heal for 45 hit points. 1000 units range
30 Fanatic's Redemption - Self instant cast/30 seconds duration/30 seconds recast. 25% chance to proc a PBAE Heal (250 radius) for 75 hit points.
33 Protection from Anarchy - Group 3 second cast time/20 minute duration. 25% chance to proc a self Heal for 60 hit points.
spec 2
50 staff
42 enhance
8 rejuve
4 parry
new stuff
40 Inquisitor's Redemption - Self instant cast/30 seconds duration/30 seconds recast. 25% chance to proc a PBAE (250 radius) Heal for 100 hit points.
41 Protection from Idleness - Group 3 second cast time/20 minute duration. 25% chance to proc a self Heal for 75 hit points.
would speccing in less enhance and more rejive even with 25% buff bonus, outweigh puttting points into enhance?
is the ehance proc better than the rejuve proc, which one would you use?
comments?

also wild healing and mastery of healing effects the procs
Q: Do the realm abilities "Wild Healing" and "Mastery of Healing" affect the friar staff styles that proc a group heal? Do they affect the castable offensive and defensive group proc heals?
A: Yes to both, sayeth our designer in charge as well as the lead Camelot tester.

According to Catacombs Charactor buildier http://daoc.catacombs.com/cbuilder2.cfm?Friar
and playing my own Friar i dont remember it being a back style at all and infact dont remember a friar having a back style - only a side style in Friars Friend.
please note that the charactor buildier HASN'T been updated for 1.82 yet
For fixed grps id say 49 enhance 25 rejuv 34 staff rest parry, gives you all you want to do your job as a bg/support healer.
For small grp/solo id deffo go 50 staff mid 30's enhance(at whichever level you prefer) 7 rejuv rest parry, spam Holy staff-Excommunicate both have heals and nice damage. Gives you side chain with stun aswell if you can land it.
Oh and personally i dont think parry is useless. Its far from a shield but if you max it in your template you will feel it when facing single weapon enemies.
My spec currently is 50 staff 38 enhance 7 rejuv 18 parry

tested my spec a bit out yesterday with 50s 42 enhance used stardrop to beef buffs up.
on an unbuffed friar (non specs had base) i was hitting for 400 with holy staff and nearly 600 with excommunicate. fully buffed friar was hitting for 260 unstyled 300 styled with holy staff and about 360 with excommunicate, the proc on ecxommunicate hit for roughtly 120 (cant remember if i included that in 360)
now if i can find a lifetap proccing fast staff should be interesting to get heals back from lifetap, proc off excommunicate, heal off excommunicate and heal of offensive proc.
dont think there are any staff that proc a heal or are they?
might respec out of static tempest and into wild healing mastery of healing to boost proc heals, as i have nothing in rejuve line, think rejuve might increase heal proc return but not sure.
on another note my Bg friar chaff owned most things in the bg yesterday, was touch and go with a beserker but that was becasue style chain didn't go off as planed. I demolished a BD, killed healer in 2-3 swings and then killed bd in about the same, vamps were a long fight him healing from hot me healing from procs was close but got there in the end, even managed to win against another when i was resting at half health.
2 on one i tend to get owned, but the procs definetly make bgs more fun.

I was musing over a PvE spec with a bb.
Does anyone have a comment on something like:
50 staff
30 enh
29 parry
9 rej (for cure disease)
I beefed up parry because 50 styles off parry (or so i understand from character builder). Or maybe I should drop enh even more?! Comments appreciated!

Duskwood Flurry from 9.1 has a lifetab proc and its fast. Has crappy stats for a melee friar though.scorge said:tested my spec a bit out yesterday with 50s 42 enhance used stardrop to beef buffs up.

It was a back style before patch. I have been inactive for 2 years and just came back a month ago and redid all my quickbars and remember holy staff being a back style from playing. Also it was at the lowest quickbar slot, where I put the back styles on all the chars I play. But as it seems I have to prove it, heres a recent screenshot from before the patch where you can see the backpositional widget, that is now gone in 1.82:Holy staff as backstyle before patch

I decide to spec mine to 50 enh, 39 staff, 15 rej, 9 parry.
PvE-wise i've got no complaints so far but I've still got to figure out what the best fighting technique is solo.
With my previous pre-1.82 spec (49 enh, 39 staff, 15 rej, 13 parry) my main solo PvE technique was
1) Counter Evade+Friar's Boon
2) Counter Evade+Friar's Fury
repeating 2) until Friar's Fury goes off and then repeating from 1) which worked pretty well for me.
Hopefully trying my friar out in RvR this weekend.
