We did HM Bogdan with just a tank and my stam DK... Didn't even need to kill the healing adds. Just burned the boss... He went down on the first try.

Yes but you and your tank were probably capped CP and well geared.

A lot of people on this forum have forgotten what it's like to be a newer player - and approach every discussion

Indeed.

Or they just drop out and quit when their Trials build doesn't work well with no maxed and inexperienced players.

Not sure why you are using sanctuary in PvE, you ought to have worm or IA. Lacking those there are ton of other sets that are better.

Because Sanctuary adds 12% healing received to everyone from my heals, their heals, everyone's heals. All those HOTs are that much better and it gives me a lot more time to DPS, buff and debuff without having to use any active heals other than the Combat Prayers I refresh for the buff.

I do have the others as well as all the monster sets relevant to healing but I've settled on the SPC / Sanctuary as my favorite all around combo.

If you are looking to improve your heals you may want to consider using Twice Born Star.

With legendary gear/divines you can get up to 15% healing from Ritual Mundus, which is more than Sanctuary. Plus you can add a second Mundus bonus on top of that, such magicka regen if you like.

The point of sanctuary is to increase ALL heals( yes ALL, DPS, tanks other healers) in a ten meter radius of you. That is about the size of a blazing spear. Almost useless in four man content but in PvP with 2 other full healers and everyone balled up, it is great. TBS is prolly one of the last sets I would recommend, it does nothing for your team nor does it increase your dps.

No, actually it's 2 meters radius more than blazing spears, 1 more than steel tornado and the 3rd stage of Hurricane. IDK how you heal but I'm very active and within 10 meters of the tank and meleers almost all of the time. The only ones that are going to be missing out on that extra 12% are the ranged bow pew pew crowd and the ranged mages who never come in to lay down a blockade and would be missing out on most of my heals regardless.

So TBS with the ritual as one mundus would indeed be better and once I can craft TBS jewelry for more flexibility mixing it with the good SPC pieces I have I'll be all over that... that would make another interesting thread somewhere in another forum.

Meanwhile ty all for useful comments and those of you who solo or duo Bogdan... WOW you're good! (feel better now that your 1337ness has been acknowledged? )

Barrier is amazing for pug groups and tight situations, like bosses with one-shot mechanics or when you gotta rez people. It's goes down on the tank pretty fast (for obvious reasons), but it really helps the DPS and healer stay alive longer.
