Lets be Honest is Faith Heal worth having....

Hi,

I've been fortunate enough from the generousoity of my guild, to be given the chance to respec from 2H Paladin to S&S...

This will mean respecing RAs too...

However, I am still undecided whether to keep FH or not...

In theory it sounds great, but in practice like alot of the RAs its not as good as it seems....

In groups, it is rare for all players to all be attacked and to be below 50% health, often if one player is taking a beating I tend to hold off from using it and twist like hell, with a cleric in a group, it should be their responsibilty to heal, unless there are being aggroed of course. Hence in PvE I tend not to use it too much in groups. Soloing, I have used it a number of times, but the amount of times even with the latest patch that it does not fully heal me is a piss take, my HPs only gets restored to 50% !!.

In RvR pretty much the same thing happens as in PvE, plus you goto contend with being Mezzed or Stunned, and being not be able to use it.

There is also the problem of it not being entirely "instant", the amount of times I have clicked my FH button and died before it goes off :(

So basically, 14 RAs in quite alot....

I got the choice of :

FH 14 in total
MOB II 4 in total
MOParry I 1 in total
Aug Dex II 4 in total

or

MOB III 10 in total
MOParry II 4 in total
Aug Dex II 4 in total

5 spare to got for MOParry III when I get my next point....

What do you think, is it worth retaining FH ?

Anyone dumped it and regretted it ?

Cheers
Diddy

FH = one of best RA's in game

It's like a 80% of max HP heal, disease effects it by halving it. It can save people's lives in rvr+pve so much, its uber!

OK you have convinced me Yussef...

I'll keep it, but I need to start using it a bit more and perhaps timing it a bit earlier...

Cheers

it`s all about timing i`d never give up FH i`ve found it`s saved my life and group countless times

the key is watching your group and wacking it when others are getting beat i`d say i use it for the group more often than to keep myself alive

Also to add to my problem, in the past its being 2H, sometimes I can go down rather quickly....

Half Health....

Finger hovers over FH...

No Health and eating dirt

its pretty random..did a test one day..got 3 pallys to jump off of Aribards retreat..u take 99% damage going right from the top.

Pallys 1 and 2 for 50% heals
Pally 3 of a full heal



Need to run the tests again but it seems pretty random as to what u actually get back from it.......and instant my foot..i have hit it @ 1/4 life died....and my hp bar has shot up again after dieing after like 3 or 4 seconds ...then goes back to 0.....useing up FH

Prolly the best RA but the most useless 90% of the time due to its pretty random heals.


Pwees fix :)

i guess you never had IP before, saying FH is a group IP is very very wrong.

IP will heal the caster back to 100% hp regardless of buffed hp and disease whilst FH will only heal the base hp (which varies alot) and is halved when diseased.

funny how sum of us spend 23 points to get ip while others doubt if spending 14points to get "groupip" is worth it;P

passive RAs are cool and improve ur character overall, but its active RAs the ones able to turn the tides in a fight.. (just noticed u aint planning on purge ;| )
