Yes, I don't attack with weapons unless it's obvious we're
going to win, or obvious we're going to lose. Like I said, I
switched this time because I was certain we were going to
win. He'd been steadily dropping in hp for the last 2-3 min,
and I estimated he'd be dead in another 30-45 seconds. But
then he started ping ponging.

I've been asking my healers how long they have to med for an
extra heal with and without Clarity, but the answers have been
nebulous at best.
