Are Your Healers Using Combat Prayer for Trials?

No, Comment Prayer is not worth it anymore because....

They didn't scale the armor/spell resist up properly in 1.6. Before 1.6 is was a no-brainer. Now its garbage, but people are still in the habit of using it.

Yes, I wouldn't go into a trial without Combat Prayer.

People use it for 8% damage increase. The spell resist/armor is just gravy.

Side note, I'm pretty sure atronauch synergy is the only way to get major Beserk.

@DeLindsay what do you think as a dk would be better combat or restoration? I was thinking to be a dmg buffing healer. With ofc the 5% wpn dmg from Igneous Shield, And Agressive Horn for the 10% magicka hp and stamina but also 30% increased crit dmg for 8 secs amd ele drain. To bad igneous weapon doesnt buff allies anymore (

I use Restoration on my DK Healer and have used both on my VR14 NB Healer. Like I said before it all depends on what you do more often. If you are the sole Healer most times (small Group content) and if the DPS in your group is low then Combat is better. My Guild has very high DPS and Players that know every single encounter to all PvE content so well that I don't need Combat anymore and Restoration gives me flexibility since the Heal is so much larger.

Do keep in mind when I Heal on my NB I'm more of an 'off-Healer' due to how good the Players are in my Guild. That means I don't use Restoration all that often (nor would I use Combat all that often). I can easily get by with Funnel Health + RR + Ward Ally + Soul Siphon for most encounters (sub Trials/VDSA). For Trials/VDSA I use Healing Springs more than any other Heal, just like every single other Healer does.

Aggro Horn, especially if you're in a build that can keep it up nearly perma, is an amazing boost to the entire group in PvE. Right now I've been playing with a 'Trial Support' Magicka DPS build for my NB that includes Aggro Horn with Worm's Raiment and gear that stacks as much Magicka/Spell Damage as possible and my off bar that has Aggro Horn on it also has Potentates 3pc for a 10% Ultimate cost reduction. I still can't keep it up 24/7 but I'm getting closer, at about every ~42 seconds on Boss fights.
