My vision of the Warrior

[Thenryb]

Personally, I never liked HoS. I did not think that giving up the RCs stats for HoS was worth it. I saw it as a novelty item, but that's me. I believe Sorc also thought that, but .Gore did not. Once when I played with him we were flying through and he died on 15 from Azure Drakes. I had a chance to inspect his gear ;-) I did not die because I was in my main MAW setup, so around 245 AC gave me enough protection.

I usually carried a mix of all 3 pots. Probably 40% reds, the rest in Blues/Yellows. Problem with going mostly reds is that you might need to go to town before you clear H/H at least once. With a good mix of all types, you can with relative ease clear H/H without any trips... unless of course you find that tempting blue FPM.

So he cast healing while on combat, or away from it?

I always carried a mix as well, whereas Tris carried almost all blues and often was forced to cast healing while in combat. I know there are varying views on viabilty of HOS but I am with Gore on that issue, and particularly while in the setup described above. I made a LAW CC warrior and I was never able to accessorize him using an HOS. His mana pool was small enough even with the RC.
