    Tips for effectively using this buff set:
    • If there are a number of teammates low on health and or you just completed a tank fight with everyone low on health, be sure to use AOE healing buffs to get everyone's health back up so they can survive.
    • If you need to heal yourself when at low health, use a health dispenser, then throw your pipe bombs where you currently are at, then take pills. You'll also want to be near teammates if you want to benefit from health regeneration from the Healing Shocks Buff.
