That ICD may need reappraising. I just upgraded my helm (more on this in a minute), and as is my wont I was spamming BOL-backed HL11s on myself to see where my new average heal level was. When I ran dry, rather than drink I swapped in my full regen gear and Libram of Mending and started using HL1 every 30 seconds or so to keep the 22 MP5 buff up. While doing this, I had my IED proc on consecutive casts - that is to say, it procced twice within the space of 30 seconds.
OK, the helm thing. Naj'entus dropped
[Guise of the Tidal Lurker]. I was wearing
[Helmet of the Steadfast Champion]. Was I right to bid on it? I'm sure I was, as the Guise is a clear upgrade in every department other than armour, which shouldn't often be relevant for me. Also, the gains over the Helmet are worth as much as my bracers, which means I can wear an extra piece of SR kit when we go after Kaz'rogal on Tuesday.
