[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 4705450, member: 2011"] This pretty much sums it up. Healing is a safety net of the PCs. The first safety net is Encounter powers. The second safety net is hit points. The third safety net is healing powers and the last safety net is Daily powers. The reason I order them this way is that for average encounters, Players prefer to use an Encounter power to getting hit, prefer getting hit to using up a heal, prefer using up a heal to using up a Daily. As a general rule, just due to resource management. This order changes for extremely threatening encounters where using a Daily becomes the preference in order to save other resources. But if the heal safety net is not there, it just means that the final safety net (Daily powers) becomes more important in an earlier encounter and the group gets fewer encounters per day (due to using up more healing surges during rests and due to using Daily powers earlier). It's just (typically) a shorter adventuring day. [/QUOTE]
