Nope to SPC...

I run Combat Physician and have completed all Vet content with it, and rather easily might I add...

Keep your HoT's up and that 8.1k Damage Shield will be Proc'ing every 6 seconds like clockwork...

Over the course of a minute, you can potentially completely negate 81,000 points of damage with Combat Physician...

So what? I suppose a dead dps does no dps but you could raise dps by 2-5% by just having this set on. You ought to have even heals to keep everyone up without a single ward every six seconds.

To the op, of course, I have it on my Temp, haven't had it off of him since I got the five piece like 2 years ago and on my warden, once he got to CP level, and the only time I take it off of my warden is to swap to tanking gear.

Oh sure, SPC would increase the DPS of everyone present, but survivability means more to me than just raw "kill, kill, kill" speed...

And yes, my heals are good enough without Combat Physician, but with it, my job of keeping everyone alive is even easier than ever...


Its almost easy mode...

With Combat Physician + Replenishing Barrier, my group is shielded a lot...

Unless someone in the group does something stupid or is slow at reacting to a big attack, Mutagen and Rite of Retribution are the only heals I need to keep my group going strong...

Again, so what? So what if your team is warded all the time, you are aware that healers in ESO are more then just the team health bar watcher, you could be doing more then just making sure your team is not dieing but you are choosing not to, as has been explained oh so many times to you, it is starting to seem you are being obtuse for no reason.

I also would like to point out you could be wearing SPC and combat physician at the same time. Not sure why you couldn't.

Oh, I'm aware of the amount of utility a Healer can potentially bring to a group, but I'm old fashioned in my thoughts as pertains to Healing (and this has never failed me in any MMO I have ever played): the best "support" a Healer can provide to his group is to make them as close to unkillable as is possible...

So yes, I could wear a different set and add more utility (like SPC), but IMHO, the better option is to increase survivability...

More survivability gives you a greater margin for error when mistakes happen and that's never a bad thing...


And once again, wearing SPC and Combat Physician would be an awesome combo...

I personally wear a DPS set on my back bar for when my heals + shields are complete overkill and all we need is the occasional heal, but your idea is fantastic as well...
