So for now i have my IH lvl6 and i was wondering should i max IH?I Don't feel the need right now since i barely take any hits from mobs(meele ones)I'm low on spirit and if i don't really use IH i'd be better off saving my spirit on other skills.On the other hand SoR has a much longer casting time then IH.So when i'm about to get SoR should i leave my IH at 8 or 9?Your thoughts.

    IH is your number one heal in squad situations. Max it, and level SoR later as it's less useful.

    Max it, for several reasons:
    1. effective heal with low mana cost (1 concentrate orb covers spam heal of IH for 10 min)
    2. larger stacking of heals, giving you a better and smoother heal over time
    3. low channel time and low chance of interuption

    Get SoR too, I wouldn't call it less useful, although at lower base magic attack and low levels of SoR, higher levels of IH are better.
    Especially looking at the mana cost and lower chance of interuption due to shorter channeling time, IH is more useful at lower levels. SoR becomes better at higher levels, so do upgrade it. By the time you have upgraded SoR beyond lvl 6, you'll see how it can be a far more useful skill especially in sticky situations.

    By "less useful", I didn't mean it was useless or even close to useless, just that in squads, a cleric with a low level SoR can still play fine, but a cleric with a low level IH will have much more trouble. b:chuckle

    Ironheart will be your most commonly used heal, followed by wellspring. Max it as soon as you can. The importance of it is reinforced by the fact that it was my most wanted sage skill by a long way.
