Question 1 : RvR Tactics for Healers...

[illu]

Hi peeps

Quick Question

As I imagine we are not the only realm with Purge, in RvR, do all groups now need 2 Healers in them as standard, as as we rush in and get the first InstaGroupMezz on the NME, they all Purge and break free...

As Purge isn't fixed for the moment, I take it that the 2nd healer would then InstaGroupMezz and then they should be mezzed - yes?

Then as ppl are being attacked, a stun on them should help matters....

All I know is at the moment, after a successful mezz, they seem to be wriggling free, and to make ultra sure, I will be re-speccing in the next patch, my "well balanced" m27 a27 p38 healer to a PAC beast m24 a5 p48. If this doesn't stop them a bit more in their tracks - I don't know what will....

Any advice ppl can give me here as to the best initial spells to do?

I'm even thinking of casting a normal couple of second mezz first - then they Purge - then I instaGroupMezz? But Purge makes them immune in the next patch(?) for a bit, so what then?

I read somewhere the best tactic is to InstaGroupmezz - then re-AEmezz as ppl are coming through (halves the time of the original mezz tho :/) then AEStun the masses and let the runeys do their 9ish seconds of AE damage....

By then the casters should be dead and the trolls can be picked off - (can we re-cast stun on them?)

I'm still worried about them all Purging tho :/

Oh well, can't wait for the respec - is that coming in patch 1.52? And that's in October yes?

Just spam AE stun and AE mezz, like when defending lords

Hmmmm

I suppose an InstaGroupMezz, followed by 2 or 3 normal Group Mezzes then a Group Stun should catch most of the buggers - or does a re-mezz break the original mezz? (I know it halves the time....)

i've more or less given up using my AE andsingle mes's in combat because

1. mes is body spec (i think) and lots of people are making sure there resist is high in that meaning i can expect my mes (when it actually sticks) to last 1/4 of the time it usually does (not a good think for healers who choose not to spec pac too highly)
2. thanes..... and runies

i spent so much time getting pissed off at them breaking my mes's i just gave up and always use my AE stun instead, it saves me having to get all pissed at them

then again if i were all alone (not likley with the albi zerg and or small groups of albis that hang around the mmg ) i guess it would be safer to use mes, especially if the group had a minstrel or two in

I don't think remez halves the mez time anymore, because now you can't chain mez cuz they're immune. So when they're immune, the second mez won't affect them, and thus won't half the mez time

- instant ae stun + 4 aoe'ing rm's = carnage
- instant ae mezz, then sinlge stun the targets and let your tanks take them out one by one.
- instant ae mezz, castable ae stun --> kill kill kill
- instant ae mezz... they had group purge...u get insta mezzed back ( bard in 1.52) they single target stun u and n000k u to high heavens.

^^^You Purge and InstaGroupStun back before the bard gets his in
