Gotta love the french:

3 second big heal was 530 for 40% of his AP.
2 second heal / 5 tick HoT was 293 with a hot of 89 for 25-30% of his AP.
Instant long HoT was also 89 for 10% of his AP.

In other words 6 seconds to fully heal a clothie who apparently at this level has around 1000 HP. Who knows what kind of hitpoints a tank would have at this level… 1500- 2000 maybe?

Yes sir, that’s interesting. I’d love to know more about how that Zealot was speced. It seemed like his big heals were very mana inefficient, using 1/3 of his AP. Considering the recharge rate of AP and how it works in the game… that means HoTs are CRUCIAL to the overal healing experience. Overall it seems like they want you to focus more on HoTs and then be doing damage between Heal/Hot’ing and HoTing. This is just an observation, again completely unknowledgeable about his spec. Who knows he could have been speced for HoTs more so than direct heals. He beat that swordmaster down pretty well just using HoTs on himself and DoTs on the swordmaster.

Another interesting thing to observe here is that even given the normal recharge of AP, if you just sat back and spamed big heals, you’d run out of AP pretty damn quickly. Yes, AP recharge rate is decently fast in WAR, but if you just spammed big heals you’d run out of AP and have to wait for recharge or swap to more efficient Heal/HoT healing and HoT healing. A good healer would be doing this anyhow if he/she cared about “mana efficiency” for lack of a better term.

Overall, I’d say that this kind of Zealot with his spec, compared to WoW works a lot like a high spirit build priest who’s speced mostly in Discipline with some good choices in Holy or Shadow for damage dealing capabilities. I do like how the Zealot was actually taking the time when noone was hurt to instead of just standing there actually using the duel targeting system and doing some damage taking advantage of the fact that everyone’s life totals were ok and his AP was full so he was doing damage.

I love the pace of combat and the feeling. It reminds me of Arathi Basin battle healing with a good organized group of folks. Two thumbs up for the Zealot experience depicted in this video.

I like this video more than most Zealot videos because for once the zealot is doing his job well and the team wins. The other team which seems less coordinated and less efficient heals is being dominated by a team that’s obviously communicating well and sticking together. You can tell because toward the end, they line up in a V formation, preparing for the next wave of the attack. They did a good job of keeping each other alive during the fighting as well.
