Yes, I do this already in HS. I had Spook the Dead on bar.

The point was to show you can do it with Blood Ember Boots too and still end with 100% HP and Mana.

Some posters like Cecily seem to think clicky cast times are a major problem, but they generally aren't, even at 7 seconds.

I have FT1 and FT2, and I still use blood ember boots to save mana. Not all targets are undead. Blood Ember Boots save you 40 mana on a live target. So even if you don't want to use them on undead, this strategy works just fine on live mobs.

And yes, you can med a tick between pulls. But unless you are counting server ticks, you may end up waiting 5 seconds for the next server tick anyway.
