edit: Also wanted to point out that when using the mouseover macro as puri, prioritizing targets without shields is far better since the macro will target people with shields but without burnout, wasting your burnout debuff.

This is also true for any spam-cleanse macros: have a `cast @mouseoverui Cleanse` at the top so you can choose who to cleanse instead of letting Rift blindly cleanse the next cleansable dude. Most of the time you can just mash the button, but sometimes (like if there are stacks of something) you want the control.

I am leveling a mage (level 20 currently) and prefer ranged but would incorporating some chloro mixed in be useful? Like a warlock/chloro?

Lock syncs up with necro better than chloro, and life leech can heal you a decent amount. 8 points in chloro is nice for leveling builds because it gives you an instant cast bloom, and the lifegiving veil buff will give you passive healing. But 8 points in it is taking away 8 points and potentially 8% damage from other trees. If you like warlock, i'd try pairing it with necro and only going to chloro if you find yourself needing more healing. 8 into pyro is nice too for the burning fury crit bonus, but that is getting changed next patch.

Gonna say that you're probably gonna get better value keeping 4 stacks of soothing stream on the tanks since that'll be less overhealing to ripple off of. Also make sure everyone is affected by your healing flood to have reef barrier up and for Invigoration. I don't often play Warden, but when I do, we get our first kill on HM Progenitor.

Also for purifier: when to use things that aren't Symbol of the Sun / Ward of Fire:

1. Healer's Covenant - actually a sentinel spell, this poo poo owns. Tanks usually have their own pseudo-cov but often this is the thing that gets called. Should be coordinated with every other defensive cooldown etc etc.

2. Rite of the Forge - huge shield that pretty much means a tank's hp won't be dropping for a while. Also usable on non-tanks depending on the encounter needs. Good with flashover.

3. Latent Blaze - try to make sure a flashovered latent blaze is on every tank before a pull, then the healers or support, etc. Refresh this if you have a chance to in a fight, preferably after it falls off.

4. Gathering of Flames- this poo poo owns, also don't hesitate to use as a fourth tank cooldown after your others are spent. Really good with flashover.

5. Spiritual Conflagration - Still really good if you don't have to move for a long time! Also a good thing to deal with healing debuffs.

6. (Touch the Light) + Ward of Scorching - The mana cost reduction from TtL helps a lot with making good use of ward of scorching, but depending on the fight sometimes you'll just have to spam WoS for a while and hope you can pot/mental flare/soul brand to get mana back later. Also good with flashover.

7. Healer's Breath - if you're gonna be moving for longer than half a gcd and/or a tank is missing over 20k health a healer's breath can be a larger increase in EHP than either ward. Use discretion. Also if you have to keep moving and symbols aren't an option and breath is down Healing Flare is a good last resort.

I would really like a dedicated tab for artifacts. All the time, I find artifacts I've already collected, and there isn't enough room in take take/leave tab for all of them. Could we please remove the mediocre consumables and costume gear for a collective artifact pool?

How about you sell those artifacts instead? Most arts are worth at least a plat, some hundreds of plat.

For harbinger/chloro levelling, is it just meant for grinding mobs? In IA's everything seems to die too fast to even make it to melee range. I'm 36 if that helps.

Seriously, artifact trains are the best way to get rid of ones you don't want if you're not selling them. Just ask who wants a train dropped on them in gchat and if they're cool they'll take what they need and pass it on.

Nope, start an art chain by sending them to Taoism. Literally the only artifacts that go in the guild bank are the awful ones from Freemarch that drop so fuckin often that we can't even give them away. I would not be at all surprised if some of those ritual jars had been in there since Seastone.

About how big is the range on Pool of Radiance healing? Is it useful in the last phase of Crucia, or just skip it because people are too spread out?

To add some Pro Cleric Tips, remember that Healing Flood only hits 10 people, so try to hit it twice. Warden tends to run low on Mana, so have a macro to cast Cascade on yourself and use it on CD early on in the fight, late in the fight save it in case someone else needs mana.

For Inq, remember to use Judicial Privilege when AoE is coming or when you need to get out of circles, and try to time Nysyr's to coincide with DPS boosts like flaring power, and hold off casting it if you have more than 1 or 2 stacks of Life and Death Concord.

I think they _just_ started putting that into production at the release of F2P. Best case is probably turkey day/christmas. Likely not until 3.0 though.

I would hope they don't release the next expansion that soon, we haven't even gotten all of SL-T2 yet. I would hope 3.0 is not out until the first half of 2014 at the earliest. I want to be able to easily PUG Reggie on alts before the next expansion, like with ROS/GSB.
