How much do you all do stuff other than heal? Do you ever just stand there, or are you constantly tiering up ballads or helping DPS with PC etc. Coming from playing a warden, if I'm not pushing as many activities into a small a window as possible, I feel like I'm failing somehow.
I'm running about 4000 power and about 1200 icpr (after dual tales), and about 4000 morale. You can follow the link to my minstrel under my sig. I know my armor stinks and I'm working on that.
My power is between 5000 and 5300 depending on how I trait. I am constantly casting something when in SH and I never run out of power. My icpr is about 1200 as well. Make sure your will is maxed since that'll help you with power and your healing output will increase which means you don't have to heal as much. I pretty much exclusively use my big, slow heal. It's cheap and heals a lot. When you can put out 1800 - 2200 from one heal, you don't have to heal a whole lot, which frees up power to do other things. I've got 20% on my ballad of war so I try to keep that up if I've got melee in my group. The faster we take things down the less power I need to use.
