    I'll keep an eye out for your server ;)
  • I'm excited to be a healer again. I'm not excited about being blamed for everything though! Unless it's a boss kill, in which case, all credit naturally will go to the tank  :D
  • My aim will be to join a guild quite quickly because I do generally hate pugging, well, in a PvE context anyway.
  • I still would like to say I new to healing in general, and never in a pvp setting. how do you keep yourself from falling asleep watching the bars?

    No time to fall asleep in PvP.  It's exciting to be a healer for your people. It's not all about watching the bars. 

    You use both AoE  and single target heals.  Some times your assigned to accompany another player.   As in a raid you have to have your eyes everywhere and be ready to move. You need to be ready to jump out of ground AOE and to heal the guy who got caught off guard. Oh and you better be watching your back because the opposing warriors are going to target you fast.  They put a BIG target on you that says THIS ONE FIRST. Or send their rogues after you.  Nope nothing about healing in PvP puts you to sleep if your on top of things.

     Traveling to the fight I would often stay behind lower level players to guide and protect them with heals if needed from NPC's. 

    Sometimes your fighting along side other guilds or groups against a common enemy and you reach out and heal someone not in your group.  Managing mana is the tricky part and knowing your abilities. 

    A healer's role is multifaceted.  Most healers have some decent DPS spells also. 
  • I personally like to be an off healer, in eso I created a dps mage/healer, a friend of mine had one too and we would end up 3 manning a dungeon with a dps and our 2 builds

    I feel like the healers job is not given enough credit most of the time. For example, if you're in a dungeon/raid and are fighting a boss, there are two outcomes. Either you kill the boss and get the loot, which gets the tank and DPS most of the credit (because tanks protect the raid from boss agro, and DPS actually bring the boss down), or you wipe and most people immediately blame healers for not healing enough *sigh

    I really like healing, I just wish it was a bit more focused on actual support, like crowd control, buffing allies and debuffing enemies, that kind of stuff, not just healing. But most people only see their health bars filling up on their own and think that this is it. So I raise my glass to all of us, the underappreciated people who actually make sure that no innocent people die — only those we stopped healing deliberately  >:)
  • It has been far too long since my services have been needed by my tank. together we have seen many worlds and faced many challenges.  What good is a healer that has no power to heal?  With each new world, my powers are strange and erratic, and I have become ... unnecessary . Perhaps in this new land, I may properly serve my tank once more.

    It's much worse than that; tanks tries to stay alive so they can enjoy even more pain instead of dying and escaping from it! :'(

    And we the healers encourages you by healing your injuries so you can enjoy new ones! :D

    Masochistic relationship. ❤️

    What kind of pocket are you looking for? Does it have to be spacious and have plumbing, electricity and so on? (¬‿¬)

    Haha, I disagree. In the past maybe. Nowadays, people always thank the healers even if the healer is less than efficient. 

    No one thanks bards, it's a good thing we have such high opinions of ourselves. Hahaha.

    I'll maybe take you up on this offer once release..
  • Healers and tanks go together like peanut butter and jelly.

    The tank sticks close to the monsters and the healer offers sweet cohesion.
  • As I'm main heal of my group in every other game already, I'll for sure do a cleric here as well^^ 
    Cleric Cleric maybe ..
    I've said this before: Cleric Summoner could be awesome too ... I want to summon angels so badly xD #lifegoals
  • I am primarily going cleric but am intrigued at the thought of a bard subclass.  I am all about group support as my role and really think this combination has so much potential to do just that.

    I dunno, summoning angels?  They might be the ones who didn't get healed and seek revenge!
  • I dunno, summoning angels?  They might be the ones who didn't get healed and seek revenge!
    Aren't they going to just be grumpy ghosts rather than a godly messengers?

    Besides, even if @Sateda only calls up the ghosts they'd be good backups to have :)
  • I'm also fine with letting someone die to get my angel xD easy :3

    That depends on whether they back us up after not healing them  or help our adversaries  kill us for letting them die!
  • healer or tanks are also blamed for wipes so picking paladin 
  • I would really love to have powerful dedicated heal spells once again.  The last few games I played I couldn't duo most things with my tank because the healer classes were mostly minor dps with a few heal spells or mostly buffs with a few aoe heals. 

    I first fell in love with healing in ee and I haven't found a game that let me heal like that since.  I miss being able to manage the hp buffs and debuffs of an 8 man team  and still be able to assist with damage and debuffs on the boss
  • I love playing that not-expected combination. I don't, however, at this time know enough about the classes to know what type of healer I'll play. I mean, ok, yeah, Cleric/Cleric seems logical & legit & all, but really? What will I get if I do mix Cleric/Mage? Cleric/Rogue? Cleric/Bard? So many delicious opportunities!

    When we get more info on the classes as well as how the secondaries work, I'll joyfully sit down and plot out my diabolical plans for being the best dang off-kilter healer out there! Gods know, though, it'll probably take me a week or two to play around with the different combos to "feel" which I think'll work best for me.

    Heh. I'm quite well-known by those who know & love me for deleting/rerolling characters mercilessly. I have no expectation AoC will curb that little habit :wink:
