Now that stasis is included in most builds what do we do with it lol? I have never used it as a do a raid blossom build. Now that I have it I have been storing temporal anomaly, spiritbloom, and dream breath and using that. How are other people using this? Should I be doing something different?
I don’t main pres or play it much, but this is my understanding of the best general way.
There are some niche cases where you can store a bunch of caut flames etc, but overall I don’t think you can go wrong with those 3.
I’m sure a better pres player will chime in, though.
I used it for the first time the other day and i thought “okay this could be good” and then i realized that you only have like 30 seconds to use the stored spells afterwards.
I feel like if i’ve used TA->Dream Breath->Spiritbloom i’ve already solved the problem from the damage event and the huge burst of healing all at once afterwards is no longer required.
If i could hold onto it for when it’s actually needed later, that would be cool.
Granted, i’ve not used it more than a couple times at this point, so maybe somebody knowledgeable could describe to me a good use case.
Also slightly off topic, but i hate the pathing to lifespark. I wish it were easier to get to because it’s just great quality of life.
The 30 second limit is certainly annoying. The same with cloud burst totem for Rsham. If I want to spend longer before using it at the optimal time then let me.
Using Stasis well really requires you to know when large damage is coming. I do use it on the larger stuff mostly (TA,DB, etc). If you don’t know when large damage is incoming, then I would imagine it could be less useful, but I dunno, I use it pretty much on cool down.

That cooldown was always a disappointment to me since I love spell hold/chamber mechanics.
It needs to store spells until you use it again and only give a few seconds to record them. It feels totally backwards.
From a M+ standpoint you’re basically using it to store temporal anomaly, dream breath and spirit bloom (in that order) to cover large consistent damage events.
With Chronowarden though, you can get almost permanent dream breath uptime with enough crit and we can get very frequent spirit bloom usage.
I’ve found on beta that stasis didn’t feel necessary (even though it probably will be) and was playing around with some different builds. I still wish we could put fire breath into stasis.
I don’t play Preservation but I like to run around Valdrakken and hold a charge of rank 1, 2, and 3 breath breath and then blast it out, and watch the pretty numbers. It’s pretty fun.
Depends on what you are doing (M+/Raid/PVP) and what phase of the pull you are in. I triple TA for damage in the first 30 seconds. and then after that I tend to Verdant TA Dreambreath alternatively you can verdant and both empowers. This isn’t the type of cooldown that carries a healing area IMO
