from what I seen the druids on exc/prydwen are much better. Dreami, Ramble, Fiontan and more.. much better interupting, healing and positioning.Belomar said:..and I am sure there are primary healers who play like this even here. Hopefully, they are not RR11-RR12, however.![]()
like 99% of mid healers?Belomar said:My experience from Eviona (albeit very limited, so I am sure I am wrong): When fight starts, immediately stop and start casting spreadheals. If low power, cast RP or MCL, depending on what's up. If interrupted, pop MoC3 and continue spreadhealing. If interrupted and MoC is down, do nothing. If low power and RP and MCL are down, do nothing.![]()

Eva said:It's one of the older Avalon players, she only have 9 fingers. She has a rr11 daughter so quite possible the forbidding her to play part is true. She have a son aswell dunno exact rr of him tho. I dunno how true the cutting off a part of her finger part is, but she's playing 24/7(or was, atleast) and as said above she only have 9 fingers.
Oh and it's far from fake, the screenshot atleast since it's our group. We've heard the same story since we started on avalon, so must be some truth in it.

illu said:Just a quick question,
Ok say you play a healer, how do you play a good one?
I keep hearing about interrupts. Now I know my healer has amnesia AOE spell that has a looong range and does blue things on the enemy - is this interrupting them?
And when playing a PAC Healer, basically do you just run in, Insta AE Mezz, then move out the way and start healing? Normal AE Mezzing? (is it on a different timer?)
I watched one video where the healer never used the Stun or AE Stun - I take it that this is bad for the enemy to have immunity to?
And when your PAC Healer is getting interrupted, do you just MoC and carry on trying to keep the group alive and the enemy mezzed?
What do healers do when MoC and Purge are down? Back to interrupting?
All I remember was that playing my healer in RvR (this was a couple of years back) was a blast, but bloody hard work, and one or 2 mistakes and the group would disband![]()
I imagine coming across high RR optimised groups leaves a lot less room for error?
Do most fights go in a certain order? Can you predict what an enemy will do next? What target they will go for first?
So many questions :>

It interupts when it's resisted, else it cancels the enemies spell, but definately not the best tool for interupts. Aug healer has alot more use of this just because he will be positioned at the back of the fight. As pac you will be more in the middle. Basically just spam mezz on targets, if they are immune you root them instead, or if you got a good box of people just keep on spamming the ae mezz to keep them interupted.illu said:I keep hearing about interrupts.

I always aim to get the leader with a single insta so the group will stop up, then get a castable mezz off on the rest. This combo gives you so much more if you pull it off then just dumping ae instamezz. Always try to get as many people as you can mezzed if you win the mezzwar, i just keep spamming ae mezz until i get interupted or so. There will almost always be someone that unsticks and dont get caught in the initial mezz, try to get him aswell!illu said:And when playing a PAC Healer, basically do you just run in, Insta AE Mezz, then move out the way and start healing?

Stun is a very nice tool, that should be used alot, but not too much. It's better to save the immunitys for when u really need it. Say an enemy support is moc'ing, throw a stun on him and a part of his moc gets wasted. Stunning targets for tanks is also very nice. But don't ever stun a banelord tank with castable stun unless your 100% sure he has used Zone of Unmana, else u will get tendrilspammed, and thats a bitch as healer.illu said:I watched one video where the healer never used the Stun or AE Stun - I take it that this is bad for the enemy to have immunity to?
A simple answer to that question is: MoC when stuffs is getting out of hand. Personally i'm no fan of it, played through 10 realmranks without it, but then again, i was playing easymode!illu said:And when your PAC Healer is getting interrupted, do you just MoC and carry on trying to keep the group alive and the enemy mezzed?
They aren't stuff you should have to 'rely' on, don't really understand this question.illu said:What do healers do when MoC and Purge are down? Back to interrupting?
Indeed it does.illu said:I imagine coming across high RR optimised groups leaves a lot less room for error?
Opted grp vs opted grp usually switch tactics alot, so no you can't really predict.illu said:Do most fights go in a certain order? Can you predict what an enemy will do next? What target they will go for first?
Agreed. I've found my calling in DAoC, and all other classes pale in comparison when it comes to fun factor.Eregion said:Healers is prolly the most fun class in this game imo, just because you got so much to do(Together with druid). You can't just say "do this and that and you will win", it's all about what the situation requires.

And aslong as you got the upper hand, no reason to pull back and wait for people to start taking damage. Keep them under pressure all the time!

Healers is prolly the most fun class in this game imo, just because you got so much to do(Together with druid). You can't just say "do this and that and you will win", it's all about what the situation requires. Making the right decisions whether to heal or interupt, keep good view on the fight, helping your groupmates in every way you can is stuffs that define a good healer imo.
Loads more to say, but frankly i cba.
This felt like writing an essay, bored while pl'ing!![]()
Well, you only use 3 of them really, I try to only use 2 tho!Dorin said:so much to do, fun class for sure (tho 4 forms of insta cc is a bit lame)
