Gw2: [qT] Deimos CM | Heal Tempest | Soloheal - Tank

[@NoVaEnte]

Came for the tempest gameplay, stayed for the music. Great stuff!

[@AlextheSneakySC]

I like the part where you healed

[@VanDraig]

Oh how did I miss these, the runs look really good! Nice music as well

[@kursatsaimtuna7163]

Keep those coming king!

Is Peppermint Oil in the build a mistake? Please tell me it's a mistake

[@Fennec]

In what way are they a mistake?

[@VitarainLEFT]

@@Fennec By not using Bountiful Maintenance Oil. On healing builds, it's about a 17.5% outgoing healing modifier, which is many, many times more efficient than any other utility in the game. If reaching 100% BD is truly mandatory for this build (which it doesn't seem like it is) the lost concentration can be made up for in a number of different ways, such as Giver's or Creme Brulee

[@Fennec]

@@VitarainLEFT But then again, this build already heals so much that the extra 17.5% Healing isnt mandatory either and iirc, isnt druid running Peppermint Oil too when going Minstrel? I can see where youre coming from but I dont think it makes a noticeable difference. I do really like the 100% Boon dura cause it gives you more flexibility when you want to overload fire and also longer Might for when people might split from you, in this case going down to Saul.

[@VitarainLEFT]

@@Fennec I really don't think there's any reason to pass up extra outgoing healing, especially when the alternative is just strictly inferior. Even using this PoV as an example, multiple people in the squad had sub 80% writ uptime - which is understandable considering the CM mechanic, but more healing would bring it higher. And no, I've never seen any decent druid players suggesting Peppermint Oil on minstrel druid either. gw2skills.net/editor/?PGgEsEWGBrh5wUYlYpLp2+B-zRRYjRT3JSQYlR1FQ6JgvHkAYD8W+fzC-e Not optimized, but something like this reaches the same boon duration while just healing more. Using Regen as an example, and ignoring other healing mods to make the math simple, this build only loses about 3.6% base regen tick value, but gains a 17.2% outgoing modifier, resulting in 13% higher outgoing healing.

[@Fennec]

@@VitarainLEFT Hmm, when asking Druids about it I got told to use Peppermint Oil for Minstrel and didnt look much further into it. But yes youre totally right, I will look into minmaxing it with Maintenance Oil and update the builds, thanks

[@SeK114]

Would you mind saying which bosses you believe it's safe to tank? Pugs won't let me test it but I believe this works everywhere but desmina and VG

[@xezzee]

I fail to understand, why would it not work anywhere? Sure you take a DPS slot when Heal Mech gives Alac allowing 1 more dps and heal mech deals more dos than Tempest. And if Druid is doing mechanists in VG you are losing 2x dps. But you can generally tank all bosses as long pwople allow that.

[@Master10k2]

Just started trying out Heal Tempest last week. Is there a reason why you went Scepter/WH instead of Dagger/WH? Also is the Arcane Shield just to Block mechanics you can't dodge? Also why trait into Air instead of Earth or Arcane? I thought most Damage Dealers already generate their own Fury.

[@Fennec]

1. Dagger and Scepter are both playable, Id advise you to try both and play what you prefer 2. Arcane Shield is specifically for Deimos CM since the Block for Mind Crush gets done by the Firebrands normally but if they are ever in the Demon Realm while Deimos does Mind Crush you want a block for yourself 3. No, most classes dont generate their own perma fury

[@Master10k2]

@@Fennec Thanks for the answers. BTW... I tried Healing through Boneskinner Strike with just one other Heal Scourge and failed. How many Healers do you need to PUG it?

[@Renkinju]

You should be able to solo heal it
