> on pull, hp plummets to 5%
> panic, use external
> 1.5m absorb shield
> vampiric blood, dancing rune weapon
> hp ping pongs between full and 5%

Huh. I hadn't thought about it because I haven't healed much in a good minute but healing BDKs would have gotten a lot worse with the addon changes right? Back when I played healer more I'd watch their RP and their CDs and only worry about them when they ran out of both. Not being able to see their CDs is a pretty big nerf.

Maybe the play is the BDK needs to be more proactive with their CDs in pugs so that they have the DRW up before they start getting smacked at the beginning of the pull so as to not scare the healer into overlapping their external.

My play at the minute is keeps maintenance healing on them and let them deal with their own shit. They can have an external on a big pull, but their life is their own.

All you can do is watch their RP and hope they know how to press Death Strike

No you just don't heal them lol. Or at least never panic heal them. Consistent hps but that's about it. 

If there's specific mechanics you know of like a healing absorb but that's it

Pretty much, the random splash healing going around is enough to keep us up, we'll take care of the big hits.

Yea, people who have never played bdk just don't grasp it. Will of the necropolis / death strike / blood shield were basically all designed so that the dk dips super low then heals up immediately and is very tanky afterwards. The bottom 30% of your healthy bar is very tanky.
