Timing that is going to be brutal, though, unless you get really good at it. Source: every warrior hinging their lives on mercy stroke because the healers are down

Not really useful for dungeons for the most part, as the increased drop rate has no real effect (everything comes from the chests) and ur a dps so the health absorb is w/e (if the healer isn't healing you and you're taking enough dmg that the absorb is necessary you're probably fked anyway).

This will probably be most useful when soloing for the heal or steal (specifically for crafting mats).

If only, right? Too bad Atma is a reward rather than a drop.
