How does Combat Physician Set work?

Tasear · May 2017

Combat Physician Set

LEVEL 50 CHAMPION 160

(2 items) Adds 967 Max Magicka

(3 items) Adds 688 Spell Critical

(4 items) Adds 688 Spell Critical

(5 items) Critically Healing an ally grants them a 8195 Damage Shield for 8 seconds. This effect has a cooldown of 6 seconds.

My question is does the cooldown apply to the ally who has the shield of the caster who healed the ally?

The cool down applies to the player wearing Combat Physician.

This is a disappointment. How is this a useful set?

Since when? I don't personally use this set, but there was a pvp raid leader who used this some time ago, and the cd applied to ally. Did it change?

Unfortunately it has been a terrible set for a long while now.

It's in the same trash can Withestrake's and Lamae are.

You know, I bang the drum for this set through thick and thin...

I love this set...

Absolutely love it...

There are certain dps abilities that proc the damage shield, and as a result, it rocks in duels and when soloing overworld bosses...

As a support healer ability it rocks (especially when doing small group PvP); its a free damage shield that will proc every 6 seconds (assuming you have a high Spell Critical and are using heal over time abilities) that's going to land on someone who has:

1) taken damage (which means that player most likely needs the damage shield)
2) has received a crit heal from you (so that player can heal up to full without taking further damage from his/her attacker)...

As this thread shows you many, many, people hate this set...

I say try it for yourself and see what you think about it...

I have tried everything from Spell Power Cure to Julianos and I keep coming back to Combat Physician; as a whole (PvE, PvP, soloing), I think it trumps everything else available for Light Armor...

I think it is actually a decent set for 4-person dungeons, and I've paired it with SPC for vet dungeons. If one of the party members needs healing, they get a damage shield, and on the same HoT cast others who are already at full hit points get damage buffed, so a single Healing Springs, for example, can proc different effects based on who needs what.

I wouldn't recommend it for trials because with 11 other group members instead of 3, the Combat Physician shield won't be covering them very often.

I gotta admit, it kept me alive yesterday doing dailies. Was just a random group, but the healer had this set on, saved my NB's squishy NB's bacon many times.

I was actually gonna try this set with the ton of Trinimacs valor I have. Think it could be a kinda cool auto heal and shield factory
