Hey everyone

I've been trying to use my Salvation's skills to the best of my ability, but I'm still a little bit confused. How exactly should I go about using it's skills? I know Salvation can be really useful in Frost/FF/FC and I just want to make sure I've got it down pat before going for actual runs.

Mystic or veno, mystic or veno?

    1st of all salvation is a buffer sumon. Its skills are buffs not attack skills. 1st skill on the bar (dont know the name since i dont pay attention to that) absorbs 3000 dmg and lasts 45 sec. the skill has cooldown 15 sec (i think) but it wont overwright and the buff will warn off after 45 sec from the 1st cast. Use this one the tank (puller) then rebuff him when he gets close to BB (this will 99% of the cases end up with ur summon dying but oh well, it served its purpose).
    2nd skill is a dmg reduction of 40-50% of the incoming dmg but the dmg will be transfered to ur sumon, meaning that for every 1dmg ur buffed target will take, your summon will lose 2 mana points. (ie. the target you buffed got hit for 500 dmg, your summon will lose 1000 mana). This skill is pretty useless in FF when 20+ mobs hit at once because your summons mana will go boom too fast. Best is to spam the absorb dmg skill.
    demon/sage salvation skill is an aoe shield which absorbs 600 dmg for all the party members. TBH is kinda useless in most of the situations. 600 dmg is just too low to matter.

    I havent done too many FF/FC in squad mode, most were solo/duo and didnt need much my salvation, but i guess most used skill is the 3k dmg absorb skill casted on tank/puller. Also combine it with petali, it will help. Just keep in mind, dont buff (even with salvation) during the pull coz ur pet will get all the agro.

    When people walk away from you, let them go... your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you.. and it doesn't mean they are bad people.. It just means that their part in your story is over...

    Rebuffing the tank as he gets close to BB should result in sally's death as long as he aggroes all the mobs before he starts to go into like he's supposed to.
