well, since level giresta lvl 21 fully heals no matter what (from what I've heard), it will be based more on pp then tp really. I think the only advantages resta still has is range and cost. I think giresta is going to be perfect in the expansion. I mean, its 99 PA frags, it should be better.

Agreed, but I don't think it should put Resta out of its job.

Resta will still have its uses. For long boss battles, resta would be superior due to range and less cost. But other than that, I can't really see how giresta wouldnt be the best. As a Cast Guntecher, I no longer have to worry about having enough tp, since giresta always heals for full hp at level 21, I can invest in wands with more pp then tp.

Also, before investing into cometeracs, can anyone please verify that giresta lvl 21 does in fact fully heal?

By fully heal, are we talking about instantly or over time?

Friend of mine helped me test Giresta versus Resta. Giresta is definitely slower, and healing is not something you want slow. It's a far better spell now, but it's not replacing my Resta after all.

Resta is fail. Giresta is god. End of topic.

Well, my hope is to use a har/quick with giresta. Still under the assumption that giresta fully heals at lvl 21 (Someone please verify this), tp lost will not really matter.

Let me run some tests without my Har/Quick. See how many castings I can get in a minute done with a rod. I'll post what I find here. ^-^

Giresta is not a guaranteed 100% heal, but it's more powerful per TP than Resta, I think.

Besides, the residual HP recovery is ridiculously good.

I agree, but something to add...

Giresta has a bigger range of healing, while Resta has a smaller one. If comrades are standing a bit far away, they won't get healed. More over, Giresta can also revive comrades, while Resta can't.

Right. And Giresta is only 8 more PP at 30 (as an FT).

It's basically winsauce on an awesomecracker.

I'm also uploading a video to DailyMotion (better quality than YouTube) to show the difference in casting speed as a FT with H/Quick.

PP cost isn't a big deal to me, I'm just trying to built the ultimate Support Guntecher.

Looking forward to that video, this may define my next goal....
