Sharing some povs to keep myself reserved for the balance patch where I can work on more Catalyst stuff! This is just a pug run I did for my weekly clear as I originally thought I wouldn't be able to clear with my guild. It was a little chaotic due to a few not seeming to be fully aware of the mechanics but we got through! Enjoy!

Thoughts/analysis;
We were going with the fast orb strat so I always made sure to try and get one if not both: "Eye of the Storm! & "Aftershock!" cast to give stability and aegis to pretty much nullify the damage and knockdown of the orb coming back to the middle. I have to say this strat feels way better than the traditional way of doing the orb, especially for pug runs where people tend to ignore the fact only healers push when stipulated. As for my other utility, Lighting Flash was nice for mobility and getting overloads off then blinking away. However, I do feel I would have made better use of Glyph of Renewal to get some people up during Modremoth's headbutts. "Rebound!" had a clutch moment during the final Dragonvoid phase so I am glad I brought it!

There was one full fire loop I entirely messed up as I used Dragon Tooth and Phoenix before Wildfire and then didn't use "Eye of the Storm!" to block the bomber's cc so I lost my entire overload. We didn't lose might or alacrity but it was still unfortunate. I should have entered air more so as well to keep up swiftness and I was skipping over dipping in water in between fire and earth which was lowering my passive healing due to no Soothing Mists.

The Dragonvoid pushing phase got a little sloppy and we lost quite a few people there. Sadly there wasn't much that could be done as people were continuously hitting it. I did step a bit too close at one point and went down but got an instant rally. I could have time my "Aftershock!" a little better as I did use it once or twice while someone had bubble'd the Dragonvoid so my magnetic aura share was wasted in those situations.

I was overcapped on boon duration too; I was previously quickness Catalyst but the group kinda fell apart after Kaineng Overlook and then I swapped to HAT and didn't really adjust any gear to magi. I could have and I believe I did for the Old Lion's Court run after but for this one I was a little sub-optimal but it worked out in the end!

Overall the run went okay and it felt comfortable on HAT. I'm definitely going to get myself into it more so since I've moved away from desperately trying to make heal Catalyst work. Side note, anet please front load alacrity or make it pulse, I will make this comment on every Tempest pov lmao.
