dr. muskie throwing out the diagnosis thank you dr. muskie
and i would never "sign off" on the players on the teams being equal in skill when the much more simple solution would be having him and i on the same team fighting for heals. that way we LITERALLY have the same damage to answer to, not just hypothetically.
you would just bubble everything and duck others going for reactive bubbles, youd have higher healing and more people would die. why would you be on the same team, you are arguing your style vs his. nobody that plays premades thinks what you are doing is good, why do you think a shitty(easy) style in pugs is better than reactive bubbling vs players that will purge or target people that have weakened soul? you literally just make it easier for people who know whats going on.
you have your opinion and i have mine. many people will disagree with both of us.
but the fact is numbers are numbers, they do not lie.
if i can answer to 2x more damage than the next priest with my play style i am doing that much more for my team
"re-active bubbling" is not an actual thing. in all circumstances a pre-emptive bubble is better, and i'm the best at managing it.
Since when is preemptively bubbling the better way to go?
do that pre-cata and you will shit on your manasince the existence of the spell power word shield
its worse because it can get purged? you just absorb damage that is not meaningful, a few dots here and there just rotting through the bubble not saving anyones life... you 'answer' 2x more damage but its damage that wouldnt have caused a problem. when you dont have the shield for the swap because your moronic ass wanted to bubble a moonfire - you are not doing more for your team
the answer to "they could just kill you when weakened soul is down" is playing more safe when you don't have an active bubble and forcing them to overextend when they try to take advantage of that.
this is basic stuff muskie
and whenn a warrior sits in your fucking team rending everyone because your team cant push and their entire team just swarms into your asshole what will you do thena single priest is capable of putting out 2,000+ HPS by himself with a team of people that take turns taking the front line when their PW:S is down.
its really up to your team to take advantage of the bubbles though.
you dont seem to understand what purge is, i understand the issue now
