Spirit link sucks and needs to not be usable unless called for

Do a pull.

Go low on HP.

Pop avenging wrath + heal and go back to full hp.

Spirit link.

I’m back down to low hp again because all the hp I just got from my heal got divided among the group and now my heal is on CD.

I die and we wipe.

Like, wtf.

Why can they just kill me and wipe the group like this? Can you add an option to make the leader take control of abilities like this instead?

I made the mistake of doing so because I wanted to do a key on my other paladin. I regretted it the moment that spirit link dropped.

And what about when the leader of the group has no clue about cooldowns and uses them wrong? Looking forward to those topics from you aswell.

U wiped, it happens, get over it. Not like a wipe costs you the key.

I would never kill myself with a badly timed spirit link.

But you arent always the leader of the group :woman_shrugging:t3:

I would be if they implemented that. I’d never play if I wasn’t the leader.

Well it wont happen so just do like you have claimed in the past and dont play with shamans.

Spirit link equalises your % hp right?

How would it be possible for this to happen? Like what, an attack brought the entire group to 1% hp, you healed up and then to totem redistributes it back to everyone being on 20% health?

Because unless the rest of the group took that kind of damage, even reducing them to half hp, you healing to full and then totem sharing it puts you at 60% health which isn’t low hp. What on earth were you fighting? If the first scenario then yeah that’s an off use of SL link, but giving leaders dictation of other people’s abilities formally is not the way to go.

Bolstered mobs and people got hit by aoe while I didn’t but I still died because the spirit link stole my hp.

Okay that makes sense, stole the hp, then you facetanked a bolster melee hit which dealt like 20% of your hp. That’s not sarcasm by the way. It’s a very niche situation however and I wouldn’t justify making leaders use other people’s abilities.

In this situation you were thinking of spirit link pertaining to you. Truth be told it would have saved the group, however if this was the case you’d see a lot of leaders (tanks) using spirit link mainly for themselves, when part of the skill of using it IS using the fact that tank tends to hit at higher % after aoes to safeguard the rest of the group, because a tank in a vast majority of situations is safer than any other group member at a similar HP % due to their raw hp and mitigation. The only exception is very low hp % where mobs melee for more than a fifth of your health, but this isn’t a hugely common scenario, certainly not enough to change ownership of abilities.

I mean I’ve played healers, I’ve healed tanks who are like “what is AM, what is defensive” should I be allowed to force their AM casts and defensives to “proper use”?

I get the frustration but ability use must rest with the user.

How does it save the group if it kills the tank that stands between the group and the mobs? They could take maybe 1 hit or maximum 2 each and then they’d be dead. We wiped because I died and they killed the rest of the group within seconds.

It has great potential to be a trolling ability similar to Shadow Pri health swaps in arena :smirk:

So again, you had a bad wipe. Dust yourself off and try again.

Did you at least try to explain the shaman what went wrong? Or did you go your usual scream in caps and ragequit? At that level of keys you will get inexperienced players, mistakes will happen. No need to take away ppl’s cooldowns over one mistake :woman_shrugging:t3:

This was a +11. Not a +2. I expect people in a +11 to at least have half a clue of what their abilities do before they use them.

Well he is telling half truths to begin with.Your Spirit link is only one of them.He also has Vision of Perfection which would prevent him from dying.

Vision of perfection doesn’t prevent death. Wtf are you smoking?

I’m also not running vision of perfection as a tank.

Sry my bad wording.I dont seem to understand why you would pick Vision over Touch of the everlasting.

I haven’t. What are you even on about.
