"Damages the target for 520% of your instinct, but causes it to regenerate that health back over 7 turns." Seems useless, however, Shock Therapy dispels this buff, and in total you only use 22 focus.
He probably meant they'd attack, which would actually heal the mob in question. Putting them on Phalanx-aggression status might mitigate this, but your team might still attack regardless. Shk Thp seems a simpler solution
Yes just setting them to Phalanx they might still attack if they don't have anything to heal either buff regardless of that they could still attack the enemy
or you could just let them heal a little bit wile you completely annihilate them with your 300% instinct starting ability and heal yourself in the process. That's what I do.
i use nightmare in 3 ways. inversion-->nightmare for a emergency heal/hot if someone needs it. to finish someone off (making the final blow so they dont get the heal) and nightmare+corruption spam, because well the heal is only 2k ish and the dmg from nightmare is around 8-9k(at my gear lvl with insecurity) oh ya and you can use it with confinement to reduce the heal if you want to
imo nightmare is one of the best psy spells its huge dmg more than makes up for the heal component
I have full charged blood and as such, I have found that shk thp deals more damage than maxed out Nightmare. Besides, shk thp never seems to remove buffs for me, nightmare or otherwise...
