Eternity Vault: SOA

[Kaedis]

To be honest, you don't need a specific off-healing spec to shield people. All you need is an extremely force-stable spec. 7/18/16 has enough force regen and force cost reduction that casting Static Barrier twice every 20 seconds really isn't going to hurt you much. That's precisely what I do, even though we run 2 Sorcs healers already.

We run with 2 operative healers and not having the shield-casting sorcerer healer is really hurting us in HM SOA. We are stuck on him for 2 weeks now. The 2nd stage mainly. The one time we got him to 6% on the 3rd stage i was targeted by lightning 3 times.

For the sake of the SOA fight alone I figured I would make a Full Utility - Off Heal / Off DPS build. This build is probably not that useful outside of SOA but what do you think about it.

Along with my BM force-mystic set bonus (2 Piece) I can cast static barrier in 2 seconds and deionized cooldown is lower as well. Since SOA is not really that much of a DPS race [he isn't that hard in 3rd stage even after enraging] and my other Guild DPS'ers [For e.g. our Off-tank DPS JUGG does 500k + in PVP] can more than make up for the drop in mine.

Basically this build will allow me to static barrier everyone whose targeted by lightning allowing us to hopefully down him. Any criticisms or suggestions?

Edit*
Also how does one time the 'grapple' maneuver. Is there a way to know this? So that we can make sure not to pop lightning if grapple is incoming?
