    As you guys know 2 handed staves will count as 2 set pieces, leaving healers to finally be able to use monster sets. So I want to get an idea of which sets you will use or think will be most popular with Summerset. Personally I think using a one piece that gives max magika and one that gives magika regen because I think the set effects are underwhelming, but I could be mistaken.

    Ill play what my group needs to fight another group.

    Only thing I might consider is chokethorn. The only place I would see myself using Trollking is something like vAS, where the room is so massive you can't be hugging every person. Otherwise we can heal everyone to max in a second or two, so increased health recovery won't do a ton.

    Earthgore is fantastic at saving people in clutch situations and the added purge is too good to pass up.

    I already use monster sets because I'm a weirdo and I'll continue to use them (troll king and chokethorn) after Summerset. I would get earthgore too but I've never done vet bloodroot forge

    Re Shards/Orbs:
    • What did the cooldown settle at for using the synergy? Whatever it is, more than one group member should be able to grab Shards synergies.
    • Last I looked, Shards returned both magicka and stamina, while Orbs only returned one. Did that change?

    Re proc sets:
    • Does anybody use SPC as a single-bar set? If so, how is uptime?

    Only the luminous shards morph returns both resources, your highest at 3960 and the other at 1980. Not the end of the world and only really important to tanks, dps and other healers really only use there mains resource.

    All morphs of orbs and shards share a 20 second cool down, just like all other synergys in the game but they are the only two that are tyed together.

    Thanks.

    I usually throw Shards every 10 seconds or less, ideally every 8 seconds. So I hope more than one player is picking them up.

    For my Templar Healer, I think I'm feeling Bogdan the most for 'lil extra Magicka and the proc spam.
    Already use Earthgore with my Sorcheal but that toon is only for normal undaunted.

    If you have master resto, its still going to be great for the stam it gives, but if you dont sentinel will give back stam too, which could be useful, and it looks cool. If you're like me and dont wear costumes or outfits.

    I also thought about bringing back a classic, engine guardian. Maybe get some betting going on again.

    Zaan because I can out heal all dungeon content already, dps is what healers need to do.

    I don't think I'm gonna drop the Master Resto, still going to provide the best utility, unless stam characters become obsolete.

    In that case, probably Valkyn Skoria.

    Lord Warden or Thurvokun.
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    Earthgore remains BIS for a lot of stuff, PVP included.

    In PvE is a massive single heal every 35 sec really useful??

    I can tell you that it can be very useful in PvE. The proc conditions shouldn't be met more than once every 35 seconds in most content. In DLC dungeons it works out as once per trash pull and is a real safety net in many fights where certain bosses can produce large amounts of sustained damage to an entire group. For our no death runs at the moment our healer runs it with IA and SPC with staves of each to have both 5 pieces as needed.

    I plan to run it on my healers for PvE and PvP.

    IA is not really good for healers, much better to just use a lightning staff and blockade, infused with a shock enchant, pretty good concuss uptime, and provide off-balance, which your stam players will appreciate.

    If you run with a magsorc, it's straight up wasted, because it doesn't stack with concussed.

    That way you free up a set, and can use Jorvuld (or whatever strikes your fancy, Mending, Sanctuary, etc).

    IA is only really useful on a very limited number of fights, like the storm atro in AA, since you can't concuss it.

    If I were you I'd advise (and help) your healer to farm a new secondary set to pair with SPC.

    As for PvP, Earthgore is only really BiS for ballgroups or zerg-surfing.

    For small scale there are much better alternatives.

    For general PVE, probably 1 Molag Kena and 1 Domihaus. I use 1 Molag Kena with either 5 SPC+5 Infalliable Aether (with and without the Master resto) or 5 SPC+5 Mending for most PVE things (IA usually for dungeons and Mending for trials).

    Infused is more dps with around the same chance for procing concussion from the enchant.

    40% chance every 2 seconds vs 84% every 4 seconds.

    Well you can do thek almost naked if you want with just a resto staff, but the most efficient way to do them is with 2 5 piece sets SPC is a must other is optional and a single monster helm or a Master/Malestrom Resto

    That's simply incorrect, both about two 5-piece being essential and SPC being essential. Everyone I know that runs with my healer always asks me to run stuff and tells me I'm one of the best (if not the best) healer they know. They wouldn't be saying that if my build was as far wrong as you say it is.
