WAR (Warhammer Online)

Ok I dont know if anyone else is finding this, I've finally settled on being anh Archmage Healer..... but FFS ! where are the group heals and buffs ?????? No wonder Order are continually getting ass wiped ...

So Mythic FFS give us some group healing and Buffs and let those that want make a career out Healing do it properly !!

I'm fed up of choosing " WHO" to save in my group instead of nice Group Buffs and heals , this needs to be fixed and soon. 

 but its really pissing me off getting shouted at by people that want to be healed and I cant heal all of them to give everyone a fighting chance.

Also whats the benifit of Healing too do we actually get any XP for the amount of Lame healing that we can do at the moment  ??

sorry  Rant Over but I just want to be a good healer and I cant  

Funny, I have a 24 Shaman and a 26 Rune priest...you do get group heals at 20, but even so, A good healer keeps all party lists open and just pop's the hot's on people who start taking damage. It's not that hard to be honest. If you where good, you'd get by fine without a Group Heal.

To give you an honnest answer you should have a Rune Priest which is a pure healer and your offencive folks should go for the Destruction healers fisrt. If you do not do this you will get pretty much owened most of the time. Key is getting the other guys healers, make sure everyone knows who they are, not everyone does and will never say they do not.

War is a cheesy free for all game that none care about anyone else but themselves, why people think its so great eludes me, EQ1 had more content, story , quests and faction than war has and that was YEARS ago. 

Healers suck , as you said no group healas or buffs, bar one sucky heal and a choice of ONE buff, I should know played one to 33 and seen the spells till 40..  suck suck suck, game has NO depth or reason to level, is truely a kids game of kill me, kil you, then do it again

Rune priest  lvl 33

One things for sure Lotro sure did get it right with their "Minstrel Class" a total joy to play and loads of fun too , but as I said in my post WAR just does'nt have it and it needs to be addressed, some one said about keeping an ey on group and dishing out heals as necassary ..... well I tell you what in most case when everyone is is getting their Asses handed to em by Imbalanced Destruction Ganking, then its nearly impossible to heal without group heals I don care what anyone says ... as I said about Lotro most groups only need one Minstrel to be succesful in WAR to get anywhere you need about three healers in every group .... and even then the overpowered Destruction Gankers just  head straight for the Healers .

ooh I'm on one today

I really don't understand what the big deal is.. I'm a Warrior Priest in game and I've never had a problem healing... and I'm not even a completely dedicated healer.

At 10 for a WP you get a monster heal, at 20 you get your first AOE heal, Use mastery points to get other skills.. at 22 I have a mastery AOE barrier skill that takes around 400 damage for all my teammates.

I have numberous buffs and defensive target skills including defensive target heals and armor and strength buffs and debuffs.

In scenarios I can easily become the top healer or a top killler depending on how I want to play.

Now dedicated healers like Arch Mages and Rune Priests should have no problems dedicating their time to healing.  Don't say the healer classes are broken if your just not very good at playing one, they have more then enough abilities to do the job of healer.  Especially if my half-healer class can keep a team alive the actual healer classes (I know archmage first hand) can definitely out heal me and keep more people alive as well.

Who said I was'nt good at playing a healer ? IMO its broken simple as that more group Buffs and heals are needed especially with the Imbalance between Destruction and Order , you know we are not all fans of frantic button bashing just to do something that should be there in the fisrt place .... but your obviously perfect so I'll leave it there ...
 

Warrior priests are the Order Realms answer to group healing abilities.  If they spend their mastery points well, they can get something like 5 area/group heals. 

The downside is most of their heals are heal-over-time spells or require the warrior priest execute a melee attack to trigger the direct heal (which can miss or be mitgated, etc)

Archmages make fantastic healers IMHO.

I have a lvl 15 Archmage, and I am usually the top healer in scenarios on the order side.   I use up all my action points spamming heals and heals over time and my one ward and hardly have any damage at all, and I still can't save everyone on my side.  Sometimes your health will go down way too fast for any healer to keep up, especially if you've got more than one damage dealer on you.  Don't expect to get a heal if you're always running off by yourself too, if you're far away I can't get to you in time.

Healing will keep ya busy, that's for sure.
