You do know you can wait til after the battle and scroll back up and take the picture right? Thats what I always do.
i dont filter things and there are about 8 clubs in the LS. when i scroll up, its still in the middle of normal hits after the jumps. i probably can/shouldve filtered it, but its a tanking habit, and it was good for my reaction

i also liked to parse a lot of things with other ppl comparing different things. i guess its still no excuse why im so lazy!

Do you think dark skill merits, really helped you out on your drains?
For zergs, is it really wise to go full skill on your drain IIs? or balance it out? Reason I ask is because for things like Drk earring + abyssal , you dont lose hp from wyvern earring, but cassie you do. Turban(30) > Chaos helm(12), homam(26) > relic pants((0)18+1), Gigant mantle(80) > Seacape, and for each piece you drop, you lose HP. My question is , do you get back enough HP with the skill you equipped , enough to assure that you got more HP back than you would of with just basic pieces.
For instance, demon harness/bloodfingers/abyssal earring(or drk earring) and maybe drk torque sacrifice very little Hp if anything at all and still get you close to 300 skill(w/o merits) vs head/back/ear2/legs for -154~172HP +18~20 skill. So if you got double the amount of HP back it would be worth it, but if you got less than the amount you lost it wouldnt be.
Sadly I dont know if theres a way to test it as drains seem to fluctuate. Basically how much does a drain II averagely give you(with base skill269/with merits?)? How much more does 21~28more skill give you on top of that? how much does another20 skill give you? etc etc
Might not matter to some people, but idk I guess I just like getting the most out of my jobs as much as possible.
well i went all out, but than i switched back before the mob was pulled... but i was always healed after no matter what after i switched to zerg gear. i found someone to make my bitch to target me, whether it was rdm or whm. and it was in dynamis, so darksday and pluto staff/obi/skill stuff would push my drains really high. it really depends on your support man. i always kept the drained HP even after i switched back lol
