(Will use the term organized PVP instead of dueling due to the DLC)
Anyways, I'll start by showing off an extremely quick, cheap way to full heal yourself without items:
14 Faith + Thoruland Talisman + Great Heal Excerpt = 1500 HP
An extremely effective way to get back at full strength by using around 5 stat points to do it. A dedicated faith build could opt for Great Heal; giving 2 more casts.
But now, this brings in the question. What is your opinion on this method of healing? I have never seen this miracle used or its lesser counterpart (Heal which, compared to Excerpt, actually heals more in the long run and has less stats required). I have seen Replenishment cast just before fights, but it seems no one has dared to use healing mid-fight (I know this isn't a case of "it's hard to do it" because I have tried with it, and it has worked many a times) which, to me, feels like a waste of a good miracle with adequate drawbacks. It bumps tanks up since they can gain obscene amounts of health to stay in the fight and also have the poise to resist interruption.
In the times I have used miracle healing, I was at times given a "point down" rather than a bow, as if I had done wrong in the art of organized PVP (I am aware of different opinions on "honor"); in some cases, my opponent decided that if I healed using a miracle, he could heal using Humanity (implying it was the same deal).
I mean, not even here have I heard anyone suggest a healing miracle to complement tank builds with low faith nor have I seen a healing miracle included in builds posted here, even on dedicated faith builds!
