When casting a chain heal on mele you have several strategies if you have not any low health mele with a RT HoT:
- 1) To cast it on a low health mele, your first jump will do very few overheal but unless your lucky enougth to have previously casted RT on it you won't benefit from ES and RT multiplicators
- 2) To cast it on the tank even if it is close to full life, because generally you have an ES and a RT on the tank and then benefit of a much stronger CH for the following targets. (considering tank is at mele range glyphed or not)
- 3) Cast RT on mele and then CH, at the cost of 2 GCD and at the risk your first target get healed before your CH reachs it.
I have a new question now, I have not tested if the bonus given to a shielded target is also given to the following targets of a chain heal, someone did that test ?
For those who have an opinion (but have not made the test) on that question, I remind that mastery doesn't double dip with chain heal, the values and targets are calculated when chain heal is casted, THEN each heal is improved by mastery for each targets depending of the life level.
I wonder if the benefit of a shielded first target might not suffer from the same restriction. Chain heal could be calculated first and then every shielded target gets a benefit.
My first questions was - Is scenario 1 better than scenario 2 in any case, (3 seems weaker) ? is there any breakpoints around those scenarios ?
Have a nice day.
