    What are the rest of your skill levels?

    PERSONALLY, I'd put a tad more priority on Chromatic. It casts slow as a snail but it's our only aoe heal other than BB.

    Stream of Reju is amazing at high levels. It's handy when you need to heal a large chunk of health. Chromatic Healing is good as well, but the amount it heals depends on the HP of the person. Therefore you usually have to throw a few extra ironhearts on a barb or BM after using chromatic. Both Chromatic and Stream take a long time to cast, and at end game, they are both useful and will need to be leveled to 10.

    Priority-wise, they are about the same. At lower levels, I would take a look at how you play. Are you spending most of your time in squads, or do you have an usual partner you party with?

    Gotta say I agree with this. If you find yourself in a squad often, chromatic can be a lifesaver sometimes when you learn how to deal with the channeling (plus leveling it increases the range).

    Stream, while also a great heal under the right circumstances, really won't be quite as needed for a squad player until the higher levels.



    However, if you regularly duo with people or tend to solo more often than you squad, stream will be much more useful to you than Chrom... so in the end it really does come down to playstyle somewhat.

    I personally prioritize leveling Chromatic Healing Beam beam first.

    I would use Wellspring + Ironheart Blessing until I get the chance of leveling Streams of Rejuvenation.

    lvl 72?, doing bh 69?

    probably chromatic healing beam is the smartest thing to level.
    I'm wondering how come your skill levels are so low at this level? They should be much, much higher by now...

    I'm guessing purify is at lvl 1 or 2?

    It's a common misconception that you need all your skills to be a very high level below 80. I never got around to getting purify >5 till after 90... or chromatic to >6... I just never found the need for it since I could do just fine (plus I didn't aoe grind petaliis cause I was a dumb noob -_-''). After I realized that I had neglected skills for ages (my memory is poor and spazzy so I frequently don't pay attention to that), I upped them and had similar experiences.

    I'd focus on Stream of Rejuvenation only. Maybe level up Chromatic Healing Beam by one or two levels later for the HP/range.

    If you consider doing FCCs in the future, however, CHB should be your priority. A lot of bosses make you unable to use BB so you'll definitely want your other AoE heal that will have a good range and heal a considerable amount of HP (some boss AoEs in FCC hurt quite a lot at lower levels ).

    Just level them both better if you can afford, you gonna meet a lot of dungeons when you get to a higher level and you gonna see that both of them are really useful skills.

    If you can't afford to level them both Chromatic > SoR.

    You will want them maxed, I know that I was really happy when i finally maxed SoR. The amount of HP that this 2 skills regenerate is pure awesome

    If you plan on doing alot of Frosts or any instance where there is an aoe, I would recommend leveling Chromatic. If not, then Stream would be my preference. Its awesome for when a tank is getting JUST a little too low between IHs (say a hard hitting boss). Pop a stream every few IHs and get the spike heal plus HoT. Its saved my life so many times.

    Ah the thread where I saw that casting IH+WS heals more and faster then maxed SoR.
    And made me not wanna come back to the game for so long....

    Anyways, my honest suggestion is to max it. Imo spirit should be the least of your worries with genies acting as exp dump and hypers to save time.

    hard to respond as they are meant for different things...
    but if i had to pick one then chromatic is more useful
    sor is a powerful single target heal, both instant and over time, and i use it only on barbs and tank build bms (no use wasting heal, as Paramedic said not many people have over 10k hp)
    chromatic healing beam is an aoe heal, so its used every time when there is aoe and you cant / wont use bb - polearm, gaurnob, bishops in ff, raiders in brim, warlocks in sot, bossess in sot and abaddon (in sot ALL drop bb, but im not sure about aba, peach interrupts for sure but what about the rest? i think i didnt try to bb on them as aoe was manageable without...) feng or drum if your squad can take aoe without reduction

    and mysti: max level recommended... when you are low / mid level you cant level everything so you max most used skills, and keep the rest on 'leveled enough to work' and info what is enough is important. later on you want things maxed, for better effect / range / lvl 11 bonuses. so for pole lvl 5 puri is absolutely enough, but for that sweet nice ff boss that seals and casts water dot you want it at 10, or even better at 11...

    Ok.I will lvl it up as soon as I can get more $$$coins as I need to think of my gear as well as weapon.I want to lvl up purify,sirens kiss and tempest although purify is about 6 or 7.

    I see demon heals for more and sage has wider effect for Chromatic.

    I need to get this done.http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=886822&page=2 as well

    Here is where you use Stream of Rejuvenation: Belial if the tank is undergeared. (HH2-3), HH3-3 (after the recent changes)

    Here is where you use Chromatic Heal: FB69, FC, FB99, Nirvana

    In my experience, those are the ONLY places you will use either skill. 90% of the time when you use chromatic heal it gets interrupted.

    Personally, I had Stream on 1 until Belial, then I leveled it to 10 when I needed it (but this was at like level 85), and I had Chromatic on level 1 until I hit 100. Neither are very useful. IMO save your money and spirit.
