Healing Herb or Vital Herb?
I can't use the two skills, because I will maximize one, and another one I won't use while I don't maximize another skills (like mastery, aoe, etc)
Thank you b:cute

    Should always maximize all the skills you have eventually (unless a skill has more benefit at lvl 1). For healing, i like vital herb a lot more. Healing herb is useful but i don't find it good enough to seriously be helpful like vital herb.

    The Vital Herb heals much more than the Healing Herb so first level up the Vital one. Don't completely neglect Healing Herb though. You can have both herbs out at the same time so it's nice to have both.

    Like Retsuko, at some point or another you will have to maximize your skills especially those that are related to healing and summons (expect lysing, transference which are for you to judge whether you want them leveled or not).

    vital herb is the best, although i wish it said how much it heals, im guessing it heals even more then higher level it is. mine is just at level 5 right now and i can tell you it has helped a LOT

    healing herb sucks ... but, also level 5 right now. it barely puts a dent in anyones health lol. it might work alright together with vital (since u can have 1 other plant out with vital herb), but alone healing herb isnt that great. it may be alright if the people in the team arent getting hit THAT much.

    Make sure you max Thicket too for FC and use it as soon as the mobs stop running on big pulls, it will save the life of even the weakest puller if used soon enough.

    I was thinking about use Cragglord's aoe instead Thicket, because I heard the Thicket has chance only seal, and don't paralize, so the mobs run away.

    Leveling transference is nice. I'd rather fill my summon's MP bar in 20 seconds than 2 minutes. :3

    It has a chance for both, but some mobs will only get sealed and run, just like some will only get frozen and still attack.

    Hey, Caterpie, I tested a lot Gale Force, and if it Seal, then paralize too, I never saw monsters running later I use Gale Force, but with Thicket it happened, so I maxed Gale Force because of that.

    This is true. In theory Gale Force is more reliable but Thicket can deal more damage and if seals/paralyzes, it lasts longer.

    I have a question for you since I have yet to maximize my Gale Force. Does the seal/freeze appear more often/last longer at max level? I forgot my Gale Force's level, right now I don't see a huge difference so I'm interested to know on which AoE I should focus first...

    I find personally that thicket at rank 10 seals far more often than my rank 10 Gale force.

    On every big aoe pull I'll use Thicket followed by gale force, it will save the pullers life every time if used fast enough. (And don't worry about pulling pre aggro from thicket either, go nuts as soon as they stop moving even before the barb roars)

    Guys I used Vital Herb lvl7 to heal barb lvl75 on BH59 (without cleric), and I have to say that Vital Herb is really Great!!! I just don't needed to heal, because Vital Herb could heal enough, I really loved that Vital Herb, it will be useful for FCs b:dirty

    fb 59 is easy, you dont even need vital herb. just break in clouds is enough. 69 on the other hand is hard for a mystic to heal. salvation is key since we have no purge.

    Yeah, with Salvation's skill, Vital Herb, Healing Herb, Falling Petals the barb won't die so easily on Big Pulls, I guess I will be useful on FCs.
    (Man, the only thing I can think is FC hahaha, I really want to reach level 100b:dirty)
