Focused Mind morale... the next best thing in law enforcement...errr....killing Destro.

At first I just used this so I wouldn't be cc'd but I've found a GREAT many things that this little Morale 2 can do.

The In's and Out's of Focused Mind effect on CC:
Makes you immune to pull (Mara's, Choppas, Magi), but only if you cast it ahead of time. (Though do note, many Mara's do a knockdown afterwards. You can cast this while in the air to prevent any more cc when you land)
Can cast during a silence, but won't remove the silence. (I think....sometimes I feel like it removes it....sometimes I don't.)
Can cast while rooted or snared to remove it and walk normally.

Can cast before a stagger to be immune for 10 secs, but can't cast during a stagger.

The In's and Out's of Focused Mind effect on Spellcasting:
Makes spamming any spell with a cast time a breeze. You can't be set back and cast times are cut by 50% (though honestly it feels like 66%).
(For you WP's out there, your long res cast of 6 secs is now 2-3 secs and group heals can be cast virtually instantly, great for healing through bomb sorcs.)
(For you Bw's out there, fireblast gets REALLY, REALLY nasty with this little morale, even in T2/T3.)
Has no effect whatsoever on channeled abilities (ie no affect on supplication for us WP's.) This is a sad note. It would have been terrific for it to cut the cast time of channels, but oh well.

The In's and Out's of Focused Mind effect on melee attacks:
Does not increase their speed.
Can cast during a disarm and will give you back control of your weapon.

From playing with a few different Runepriests out there most really really love FM for burst single target healing. AM as well but with their ying yang mechanic they get reduced casters normally. See that nearly dead Slayer getting focused and all of a sudden hes back up to full look for the RP pumping M2 heals and a bubble proc.


Next patch with the Close Quaters changes to reduce cast times within 20 feet FM+CQ= realy really damn fast fireball and or fireyblast spam to a point of just silly. When a heal DOK must die this will be king.

My 2 cents bump for Vamp

Facts are chains which bind perception and fetter truth. For a man can remake the world if he has an idea and no facts to cloud his mind.

As a healer I feel that this should never leave your morale bar. I usually try and make sure I have as close to full AP and hit a destro player with my ability where I steal their AP and heal as many people as I can. This can save a wipe in a scenerio or in a dungeon.
