Captain Essences

[Almagnus1]

Soo... what's everyone's take on the captain class essences?

Are any really worth it, or are they all a bunch of useless junk?

A very big bunch of junk if you ask me...

Chances are too low... or require ridiculous crit retaliations...

1) Me wants to take the Class Essence with Outgoing healing.

Essence of the Protector
Item Level: 192
Critical hits have a [25 False !!!] 10% chance to increase healing output by 20% for 10s.
+20% Outgoing Healing Modifier
Duration: 10s

I think i would be able to let the Buff (nearly) be on the whole time.

Bad News:
The Essence becomes active only with 10% not with 25%. The Last patch changed it also in the textbox.
In addition no Healing Crits can activate it.
And the Essence get not a reset by new crits. It becomes usable again after it finished regulary.

I think this is the only Essence to think about.
Not far as good, as i thought, but still ok.
I believed that i can reset it and so keep is as a nearly permanent buff while in combat.

The other both are to bad, but much more seen in the wild :-)

Think that most do not understand that for a "retaliation" you first have to get one, per chance....
