@@nothinghereligma3363 I could try but for benediction it procs every 2s but the art dmg is only every 6 seconds so you only get the extra heals to proc 2 times every 12s which doesn't seem worth it compared to a normal celes rotation. Malediction id have to see but thought that was only the dmg from Malediction itself not total damage dealt
@@ObsidianChill yeah it might be BcM that I was thinking about. It doesn’t have a hit cap like rages power anyways BcM causes your attacks to heal up to 7 team members.
@@ObsidianChill Yeah, a celestial on this would be great because of the combos. I thought it would be celest also since I thought celest was the first battle heal power.
Yeah Atm bro I'm hybrid dom and resto but I'm thinking I'll go full resto for more fun because this is awesome for fire tanking and I don't have a ice toon but I'm sure with ice and it's shields this art would be awesome and having self heals.
@@chrisdlc281 depends on your playstyle tbh. I have it more for the defense aspect; shielding and healing a few people including myself, and the shield is really decent so most of my points are into resto and dom. But if youre a battle tank i cant give any useful feedback as im still relatively new to tanking
Clarion isn’t a life steal, you don’t take health or borrow health from anyone in anyway with Clarion. You’re rewarded with higher return on healing and damage based on how high your resto and prec is
Thank you for your videos. They're pretty inciteful. I've watched a few just to be able to gain an understanding as to what certain things do or what they're based off of. I like the Clarion. I just got it's Restorative Melody upgraded a few days ago and It's been fun being a Paladin (Ice Tank w/ Healing) and it came in clutch a few times. I have this Mod piece that when i use Wintry Tempest I heal myself, and i use it in my ice elemental form. So now adding the Clarion Healing with the Weapon Buff has kept me alive in between rotating my 3 other shields i use during Ice Elemental. (I only use 2 in base.) I can't wait to level my Mystic Symbol next.
You literally have the best DCUO videos out there to date I wish I would have known years ago that you were on here doing these videos because I used to play and I left for a long time and just recently came back and man this is a volume of good information I know you shouldn't be on all cool Downs with your abilities and such as a Healer but with sorcery it can be and why you're building power your healing still very cool
@@daniellandry5542 fang is a dead art and honestly with the trans and start youd do better . You'll have healing crit increase with a hot on crits as well as a damage crit increase and a DOT on crits. That combo is stronger than the fangs effect. Plus the power back is kinda pointless.
If you’re a battle healer, Demon Fang isn’t a dead art. If you’re a full healer, yes it’s a dead art. I apologize for being long winded in advance: Besides Celestial, all other powers have to be precision based Battle Healers. Bare in mind, you’re not going to do insane crazy damage as a Battle Healer without making the group suffer greatly from lack of reasonable output on healing. If you run Strategist Card as a Battle healer, because you’re in healer stance, you’ll send out a heal over time not a damage over time, which if you’re trying to do viable damage as a Battle healer, doesn’t work to your benefit in that regard because you don’t get the 30% increase on critical hits. The strategist card has a max 4% increase to prec, might, resto and dim BUT it doesn’t go to your base player stats, it’s active only once you activate Gemini via Superpower. Thus, the increase buff is temporary as long as a Supercharge is going off on your behalf or you’re standing in a green eye of Gemini. Most 2500 SC’s now have a 60 sec cool down unless you have a Scrap of the soul cloak which also increases might but not precision. The demon gang, as a Battle Healer is an art that needs to be at 200 ASAP. The Fang increases base Restoration and Precision. Every 12 secs you do extra damage based on Restoration and Precision for a certain percentage based on wherever your Fang is ranked. The power return isn’t that much of a difference maker as a Battle Healer. However, at 200, Demon Fang, once you’re behind a shield, no matter if you casted the shield yourself or not, you increase your restoration by 10% and precision by 6% for a duration of time. This is very beneficial as a battle healer because if you put one or two shields in your load out, if there’s a second healer popping a shield or the Tank, even the Superman shield, you’ll get the buff constantly to resto and precision and that makes it work it! Stack the Fang with a 200 Clarion and you bump your resto and precision more plus, Clarion sends out a shield as well. The eye of Gemini can be an option for Battle healing if you prefer to send out some greens and don’t mind the damage decrease. However, Clarion was designed to battle heal and not at the expense of nerfing your healer gear for dps gear. As long as you have Clarion, if you battle heal, and you try to work in Dps gear, you’ll lower your resto and increase your precision. If you run all healer gear your increase your resto and lower your precision. However, Clarion gives you more damage on resto over precision meaning, if you run Clarion, drink a Flex Soder to increase precision without lowering resto
I'm a fire tank. The big 3 for our arts seemed to be: Manacles, Mystic Symbol and Everyman. I swapped out Mystic Symbol for Clarion. My allies are Superman and Lex (passive) with Cyborg (active) and I'm doing self heals immeasurably better. On 2 occasions, I've run GoPe with healers that had CRs less than 380 and my self heals were better than their group heals.
I find it cool on how differently they allow you to tune up your hero. And it's still going today. In order to keep games going this long it takes alot of work so I cant be mad how there's still that monthly subscription to enjoy the full experience
Just returning to dcuo after a year of not playing. Rn I’m leveling this new clarion art , purple healing ray is at 160 and my page of destiny is at 190! I’m a water healer so this art is perfect for me
really thinking i will consider it for fire and ice tanking, but i will wait for others to try it out first just to see if it is worth dropping everyman and or gemini
Not everyman, drop EOG for it, you will not regret it, I'm fire tank and have Clarion at 200 and drop manacle for it. Best decision ever tho as im healing myself and other with weapon attacks and provide extra shield as well.
My guy, you have helped me progress in a much more informed way. Thank you for saving me time! Whenever you drop content, it is always great! Hakuna Mata on the time!
Question Obsidian. Have you tried The Clarion with Orb of Arion? I'm struggling to decide if I want to try it out due to needing the weapon buff ability but I feel that would make a huge difference in the numbers you get as a healer.
I feel like this is artifact is counter intuitive for all healer powersets except for nature and maybe water. You are incentivized to use weapon attacks but for most powersets that rely on actively pressing other buttons that would create a bit of conflict I'd imagine, though feel free to correct me if your experience shows otherwise. However with nature, in most cases you can apply your pheromones and just refresh them while supporting them with the artifact attacks, which works out just fine in most cases. You will still need to be more active in elite raids, but even then you have considerable more downtime to attack thanks to the HoTs minimum duration compared to other powersets
You are correct. I am a nature healer with hand blast and buff then blast and get a lot of use out of this artifact. It is basically useless if you can't maximize your downtime between heals to buff and strike quick
Hmmm, that healing from artifact for tanks are some kind of bug? If i understand it right, that healing come from Restorative Melody, but desecription is clear "X% of priority heal", and since tanks arent healers they cant have, and they dont have priority heal, so from where comes that healing? I would be carefull with charging this artifact for tank toons atm. Like for me this shouldnt be applied for tanks, and wont be suprised if it will be fixed, so only healers with real prority heal could use it.
a healers priority heal is based off a calculation in game involving the healing formula. So even as a gadgets player you could use this art and get heals but since its based on your resto it will be much lower where healers and tanks spec resto (some tanks) so imagine if a tank used a priority heal that number would be based off their stats. Sounds confusing but the term priority heal is used just as a calculation starting point
@@ObsidianChill I get that idea, but sadly this artifact will be so abused by... speedhackers. Many hits per second wich every hit will heal, this will be god mode for them.
New water load out update ? Love the power & the loadout I have now just wanna try sum new .. love the vids even if I don’t play dc I could stay updated 💯💯
@@ObsidianChill can I use the artifact for dps’ing if I’m a gadget dps? Or this artifact only works for healer and tank roles? Can I spec my gadget dps into resto and precision to use this artifact?
@@MauriceM_R you can but the damage would be alot lower compared to what a healer would have because dps gear would already have low resto and even if you spec'd it healers have the bonus resto in healer stance.
My arbiter crits 100k easily no where near maxed. I use dominance and can offen troll bosses, briefly tank, and restore the tank fully in 1 or 2 priority heals. My rapid ticker does 20k consecutively and circle of protection does a steady 5k per tick but can buff to 10k and crits 10-16k. The more I grind the higher it gets, got my gear up to 352 and there's still a few hundred missions to do.
Outlier, that’s not something you can do relatively easy across the board and doesn’t qualify as a statement as to why you shouldn’t or don’t need Clarion.
And don’t use circle of protection being able to have two soul wells active is much better. I went from sorcery to celestial now I’m water and I don’t think I’ll be switching anytime soon
That’s definitely not happening, too much of a money maker! Get that out of your mind, not happening anytime soon. During double xp weeks there’s people that spend $200-450 in a day ranking arts across multiple toons
But here's the thing u missed tho. So when the art dropped. I got it maxed out. Then the next following day I logged in n i had a gift to claim n it was the art again n it said from the devs the it was an upgraded version of the clarion. So I'm like wtf. So I honestly don't know what they upgraded on it. But the damage for the weapons on my max clarion it's insane . U can see a big chunk of health go down when u attack enemies .
As a battle heal would you spec all resto or some in prec? And would clarion trans and strat work for battle healing or would u take out strat for purple healing ray?
Question: For ice tank Which combo would be better?: 1.Manacles, mystical, Clarion 2. Manacles, Circe's Mask, Clarion I would love to see more testing witch ice tank
Alot of Clarion's effectiveness as a tank will come down to your weapon playstyle, all the high hit count combos brawl/hbs/ma/dp are all lungable so the boss or adds will just farm blues off you if you don't play it correctly and if you are too timid on the weapon combos and go for taps you won't get the full heal potential. I would say I would rather use Clarion than Circe's Mask though. The stun on the shield break is meh you have gale for that and consumables and the increased healing in doesn't help much if you are shielded.
@@ObsidianChill My fear is that they’re going to need this thing. Let’s say you’re running a 200 clarion as a healer with max resto and high or half prec maxed out with Hybrid Focus with Healer Augs maxed along with a Tank following the same suit, I mean wouldn’t that be very little health drop in the room almost impervious status?
I have a question if you were to use the artifact that changes your priority heal think it was the orb? It's been awhile but the healing one. Does that also increase the heal clarion gives? Wondering if it interacts
It will not, to have that increase priority heal you have to be actively using that artifact while using the heal, where the Clarion and even the spectral pet apart of Orb using your base priority heal
Plenty of healers I know use this in elite for the extra shield and the damage helps as well. You'd still spec everything into resto and then can go into prec
Is there an issue on Live with Clarion's Guard in Tank Role. I've tried on both Doomsday and HOL Dummies. The shield animation never shows and I don't see it in my combat log.
If you have it below 120, you don't get shields. If it's 120+ then it should be working fine - As long as your weapon buff is active when player is above 95% health AND being healed by the artifact - Mine is at 160 and I get the shields quite often. 80 - Heals only. 120 - Heals+Shields. 160 - Heals+Shields+Damage. 200 - All potency values greatly increase.
I know most Tanks are taking it for the heals and shields mainly but the damage part is what I’m trying to discover? I mean you tend to catch a lot of stuns and knock backs as a Tank even with an immunity in your load out, wouldn’t this greatly decrease your damage output if you’re trying to do per se Dual with Flurry shot and they keep lunging or knocking you out if completion?
Think in sm 4 players, maybe all dos with clarión and no heal rol maybe good, tank,Battle troll,2 dps with clarion and double cart maybe good, no heal rol
Chill, I'm considering this for my fire tank. I'm not the best at countering any way, could I keep using 1h flurry to proc the healing? I usually run Mystic and Circe for the increased 40% healing received and Everyman for the extra defense if a tough situation comes up. I'd probably swap EM for Clarion.
@@alnunez757 No. More prec just gives you a little more damage from the damage procs at Rank 160 (more damage from more resto also). The heals are based on calculations of % of the game's base priority heal + player resto. So if you want better heals, you spec more resto. Just a note, the heals and damage are pretty average at 160, and personally I found the shields more useful so far. The art is more of a fun alternative to run. It does seem like it needs to be 200 to be completely effective.
@@alnunez757 Roreaga is right! I think you’re asking in terms of if you want to go with a Batllr Healer build. The art itself is based on resto and your base priority heal along with some of your prec but mostly your resto and base priority heal! If you’re going to keep the art under 160 as pretty much support for a healer then don’t concern yourself with the prec side because it only kicks in at 160^. Now if you’re going battle healer with Clarion you’re likely going to have to throw the Dispenser & Horus in there or strat and trans and you’re definitely going to want Dispenser or strat at 200 along with Clarion at 200 like yesterday to see the real damage. You’ll definitely need SP’s for Battle heal as you’ll need to max your resto, heal crits, and precision and have enough left over to get your Weapon Mastery, at the very least you’ll need your precision with half of you can’t max it and if you really want to turn up, run all prec augs or all prec origin mods but it will lower your resto for the trade off
it definitely can be used as a fire tank art. I would drop EoG and not run a supercharge. Clarion-Mystic-Manacles Engulf, weapon buff, stole flame, back draft, immolation, HLS with one-handed
I don’t understand, I have the artifact at rank 120 but the shield doesn’t proc when I’m above 95% hp WITH my weapon buff on while fighting ads. Is there something I’m doing wrong or does the Clarion have to be at a higher rank?
@@nothinghereligma3363 yea I get that, but My problem is the shield “not activating” while my hp is above 95% and my weapon buff is active before I attack ads. Does the shield only work at rank 160 and higher ranks? because I’m doing what it tells me to but it doesn’t activate
@@BadFriend145 Are you sure you never noticed the shield animation? It looks like a water shield and because of the 30 second cooldown there’s a window where that could be the case. Did you check your combat log?
You could I presume if you don’t care about the group healing and group shielding but at that point, a tans and start combo, Horus or Dispenser would serve you far better
no I wouldn't put it in meta either, its more something fun to play around with that doesn't suck. It could be meta for fire but you'll end up giving away too many counters which isn't good
It looks koo and all, but in a real fight on a elite u wont last one sec, range mastery wepon will get louged, and that drops your health more then the one recieved by art lol
would be the same concept as all the testing I showed as the healer, my resto wasn't that far off from when I spec'd fire tank and I had already done each individual test with clarion showing heals up to that point. Doesn't change just being fire
So for someone who already has a 200 page/eog/PHR as elec I probably should just skip this art lol especially with playing once a week nowadays if that.
It is very strong for alert content where you could simply run in DPS spec and the heals will be strong enough to clear the content without needing healer build
No, I wouldn’t expect that to stay, and you can pair that with Totem that does a decent amount of healing to Brick, na if they let that happen they’d surely have to nerf it because many Ice Tanks would jump Earth
@@jeremiahwilliams2824 it could be, not sure it would be OP but you would have enough crits to keep strat procs active but at the same time so does a nature healer using strat without clarion and wouldn't say nature is OP for elite
@@jeremiahwilliams2824 Ehhh that’s risky for elite even 200 across all arts! If you have a second healer you should be okay but if you’re solo, you will run into trouble if you’re getting stunned or lunged a lot!

I was hoping you would test it out on a celestial toon using benediction or malediction combo thus having two sources of weapon attacks giving heals
@@nothinghereligma3363 I could try but for benediction it procs every 2s but the art dmg is only every 6 seconds so you only get the extra heals to proc 2 times every 12s which doesn't seem worth it compared to a normal celes rotation. Malediction id have to see but thought that was only the dmg from Malediction itself not total damage dealt
@@ObsidianChill yeah it might be BcM that I was thinking about. It doesn’t have a hit cap like rages power anyways BcM causes your attacks to heal up to 7 team members.
@@ObsidianChill Yeah, a celestial on this would be great because of the combos. I thought it would be celest also since I thought celest was the first battle heal power.
I wonder if you could put it with claw artifact will troll then you could do both roles
this works really well with ice and fire for sure!! specing resto with fire will make this crazyyy!
Yeah Atm bro I'm hybrid dom and resto but I'm thinking I'll go full resto for more fun because this is awesome for fire tanking and I don't have a ice toon but I'm sure with ice and it's shields this art would be awesome and having self heals.
I have it on my earth. Love it, artifact of the seven too so i get healed from attacks and dealing ml which is really op with golem absorption

So I honestly don't know what they upgraded on it. But the damage for the weapons on my max clarion it's insane . U can see a big chunk of health go down when u attack enemies .
It's not update. It just said new art for game update 122.
@@Shadow497 I never said it was an update . I said and upgraded version. And I'm only saying what the promt told me what it was.
@@xeux23 ph oh okay that thats what it said to me

Does the shield only activate at lvl 200?
As a battle heal would you spec all resto or some in prec? And would clarion trans and strat work for battle healing or would u take out strat for purple healing ray?
Some in prec of course
Question. Does the clarion require your own weapon buff or can it be from another player??
Use Clarion with Thomas Wayne Ally on Ice Tank... OP YO OP.
Question: For ice tank
Which combo would be better?: 1.Manacles, mystical, Clarion
2. Manacles, Circe's Mask, Clarion
I would love to see more testing witch ice tank
Alot of Clarion's effectiveness as a tank will come down to your weapon playstyle, all the high hit count combos brawl/hbs/ma/dp are all lungable so the boss or adds will just farm blues off you if you don't play it correctly and if you are too timid on the weapon combos and go for taps you won't get the full heal potential. I would say I would rather use Clarion than Circe's Mask though. The stun on the shield break is meh you have gale for that and consumables and the increased healing in doesn't help much if you are shielded.
@@ObsidianChill good point
@@ObsidianChill My fear is that they’re going to need this thing. Let’s say you’re running a 200 clarion as a healer with max resto and high or half prec maxed out with Hybrid Focus with Healer Augs maxed along with a Tank following the same suit, I mean wouldn’t that be very little health drop in the room almost impervious status?
Personally I’d go for Manacles, Everyman and clarion cause this setup would go op especially for fire tank
I have a question if you were to use the artifact that changes your priority heal think it was the orb? It's been awhile but the healing one. Does that also increase the heal clarion gives? Wondering if it interacts
It will not, to have that increase priority heal you have to be actively using that artifact while using the heal, where the Clarion and even the spectral pet apart of Orb using your base priority heal
@@ObsidianChill cool was an interesting thought then again that probably be quite strong lol
So how viable is the fire resto build now? And what weapon is best for the clarion?
I need to know, if I want to use this artifact only for healer would it be good for elites? And the same question but precision, what do you think?
Plenty of healers I know use this in elite for the extra shield and the damage helps as well. You'd still spec everything into resto and then can go into prec
For a healer to get the fastest & most consistent heals from this artifact whats the best weapon to use?
Is there an issue on Live with Clarion's Guard in Tank Role. I've tried on both Doomsday and HOL Dummies. The shield animation never shows and I don't see it in my combat log.
If you have it below 120, you don't get shields. If it's 120+ then it should be working fine - As long as your weapon buff is active when player is above 95% health AND being healed by the artifact - Mine is at 160 and I get the shields quite often.
80 - Heals only.
120 - Heals+Shields.
160 - Heals+Shields+Damage.
200 - All potency values greatly increase.
I know most Tanks are taking it for the heals and shields mainly but the damage part is what I’m trying to discover? I mean you tend to catch a lot of stuns and knock backs as a Tank even with an immunity in your load out, wouldn’t this greatly decrease your damage output if you’re trying to do per se Dual with Flurry shot and they keep lunging or knocking you out if completion?
Think in sm 4 players, maybe all dos with clarión and no heal rol maybe good, tank,Battle troll,2 dps with clarion and double cart maybe good, no heal rol
Chill, I'm considering this for my fire tank. I'm not the best at countering any way, could I keep using 1h flurry to proc the healing?
I usually run Mystic and Circe for the increased 40% healing received and Everyman for the extra defense if a tough situation comes up. I'd probably swap EM for Clarion.
For my fire tank I’m running clarion Everyman and manacles. It’s op
On my battle tank clarion Gemini and quizlet. It’s also op
@@samohteseryt3359 yess brooo, literally today I ranked up my Manacles, Everyman and clarion to 200 and it’s the first time I ever got a art to 200
@@samohteseryt3359 hopefully getting them all maxed out for my fire tank would be op asf.
How would I spec battle healing? Full resto or full prec? I would use Strat, Trans, Clarion
Does this work with hand blasters tap tap hold ranged attack I think it’s faster than dual pistol
works just as well with pulse beam yes
Do you spec more resto or more precision for the heals to be stronger? I have 510 SP and I don't know where or how to split the speccing. Lmk thanks.
Prec doesn't affect the heals
@@TheRoreaga But it's the damage from the weapon attack so it would be prec. Wouldn't it be the harder you hit, the more you heal?
@@alnunez757 No. More prec just gives you a little more damage from the damage procs at Rank 160 (more damage from more resto also). The heals are based on calculations of % of the game's base priority heal + player resto. So if you want better heals, you spec more resto. Just a note, the heals and damage are pretty average at 160, and personally I found the shields more useful so far. The art is more of a fun alternative to run. It does seem like it needs to be 200 to be completely effective.
@Alex if you want stronger heals then it will always be that you should max resto no matter what solely for stronger or strongest possible heals
@@alnunez757 Roreaga is right! I think you’re asking in terms of if you want to go with a Batllr Healer build. The art itself is based on resto and your base priority heal along with some of your prec but mostly your resto and base priority heal! If you’re going to keep the art under 160 as pretty much support for a healer then don’t concern yourself with the prec side because it only kicks in at 160^. Now if you’re going battle healer with Clarion you’re likely going to have to throw the Dispenser & Horus in there or strat and trans and you’re definitely going to want Dispenser or strat at 200 along with Clarion at 200 like yesterday to see the real damage. You’ll definitely need SP’s for Battle heal as you’ll need to max your resto, heal crits, and precision and have enough left over to get your Weapon Mastery, at the very least you’ll need your precision with half of you can’t max it and if you really want to turn up, run all prec augs or all prec origin mods but it will lower your resto for the trade off
Great in depth guide
he didnt talk about the nerf gg th-cam.com/video/IWe7WBYPORc/w-d-xo.html
Love ur character looks awesome bro
Thanks🤣
Do you think the clarion is good for electric healer?
Just curious how would this look with celestial light healing loadout?
Do I have to run the weapons buff for it to heal. Or the weapons buff simply only buffs the numbers the clarion is healing
if you don't use the weapon buff then the heals are much weaker and you get no shield
@@ObsidianChill thx so sub sea of solace ( big heal over time ) for weapon buffs
Noice, I have been waiting
My question is, would you us it for fire tank and if so which artifact would you replace with it?
it definitely can be used as a fire tank art. I would drop EoG and not run a supercharge. Clarion-Mystic-Manacles Engulf, weapon buff, stole flame, back draft, immolation, HLS with one-handed
@@ObsidianChill you haven’t steered me wrong thus far, I appreciate it man. ✊🏾
I don’t understand, I have the artifact at rank 120 but the shield doesn’t proc when I’m above 95% hp WITH my weapon buff on while fighting ads.
Is there something I’m doing wrong or does the Clarion have to be at a higher rank?
The shield has a 30 second cooldown
@@nothinghereligma3363 yea I get that, but My problem is the shield “not activating” while my hp is above 95% and my weapon buff is active before I attack ads.
Does the shield only work at rank 160 and higher ranks? because I’m doing what it tells me to but it doesn’t activate
@@BadFriend145 Are you sure you never noticed the shield animation? It looks like a water shield and because of the 30 second cooldown there’s a window where that could be the case. Did you check your combat log?
@@nothinghereligma3363 no, I didn’t. I’ll check again once I get home later today.
Then I’ll let you know what I find.
Ty 4 the tip. 👍🏿
For ice fire tank dis is great artifact but have questions can DPS use it ? or do it not work
You could I presume if you don’t care about the group healing and group shielding but at that point, a tans and start combo, Horus or Dispenser would serve you far better
Obsidian for Fire Battle Tank which artifacts would you use now that Clarion is the new artifact.
Lernaea's Amulet-Transformation Card-Solar Amplifier really, if you want a Clarion build you would just take prec arts ontop of Clarion
@@ObsidianChill okay Thanks
Do you think a fire tank with clarion, demon fang and mystic seven would work as a restoration tank?
it would certainly work for most content. Not sure if I would trust the survivability in elite or elite+ content but anything else it would be fine
@ObsidianChill thank you so much, for the info but I was thinking like alerts or outside stuff
It's so funny because I thought this would be great for fire tanking lol 😆 I definitely use this for my fire tanky
This doesn't really sound like an end game artifact. Most end gamers are running 2 or 3 supers. This doesn't really gel with the meta.
no I wouldn't put it in meta either, its more something fun to play around with that doesn't suck. It could be meta for fire but you'll end up giving away too many counters which isn't good
You’re honestly not good if you just think about what’s meta
It looks koo and all, but in a real fight on a elite u wont last one sec, range mastery wepon will get louged, and that drops your health more then the one recieved by art lol
Bruh! Why do the fire tank test while using fires heal over time? You're making it more difficult to see the heals solely from the Clarion artifact
would be the same concept as all the testing I showed as the healer, my resto wasn't that far off from when I spec'd fire tank and I had already done each individual test with clarion showing heals up to that point. Doesn't change just being fire
Is this artifact worth it any less than 200? Over Page of Destiny?
it can be useful below 200, the shield will be much weaker and the heals will be much lower but still has practical uses
Do you have to use a weapon buff for this or no
you would need the weapon buff to proc the extra healing so you would use it on your loadout all the time with this art
Some it up its for battle Healers great for pvp
Ehh I see them nerfing it for PvP I’m time
This would pair well with Celestial.
Can you use clarion with dps?
So for someone who already has a 200 page/eog/PHR as elec I probably should just skip this art lol especially with playing once a week nowadays if that.
It is very strong for alert content where you could simply run in DPS spec and the heals will be strong enough to clear the content without needing healer build
Why we always gotta be close to everyone in group? Damn artifacts
You don’t he said the complete opposite
@Kendall Fleming I know
Does clarion heal pets? If so, this could benefit brick tanking
it does not heal brick, they changed that since the release of the art on test
No, I wouldn’t expect that to stay, and you can pair that with Totem that does a decent amount of healing to Brick, na if they let that happen they’d surely have to nerf it because many Ice Tanks would jump Earth
Damn even ObsDummyToon is a higher cr than me 😔
Curious would you drop shatter restraints for a weapon buff or nah?
I would, shatter is super weak shield its more just for the immunity breakout. It wouldn't be required in majority of content
Do you only get the shield at lvl 200?
@120+
Can the new artifact heal pets or not?
No
Anyway I can use this with rage?
you can because it would just be based on weapon attacks
My name is FeatFetishHeals on heroes PS4 I'd love to run with you
And Batman passive w weapon buff heal
hey there
Also curious why you didn't go to doomed metro to test
@@Skilleee weapon attacks don't work on the pools they are immune so I would have to attack ads and they would prob die or not be in range
@@ObsidianChill Sorry i questioned your greatness
Do you think it really worth it for a healer to level it to 200
For “healing” no, for fun or solo prec dpsing sure
@@ObsidianChill do you think the synergy between this art, trans, and strats would be op enough to bring into elite
@@jeremiahwilliams2824 it could be, not sure it would be OP but you would have enough crits to keep strat procs active but at the same time so does a nature healer using strat without clarion and wouldn't say nature is OP for elite
@@jeremiahwilliams2824 Ehhh that’s risky for elite even 200 across all arts! If you have a second healer you should be okay but if you’re solo, you will run into trouble if you’re getting stunned or lunged a lot!
