a good group has 3 healers, 1 bladeturn, one powerregen, two tanks, rest leechers. please note that this combination always includes a mezzer by sheer coincidence unless you count mentalist as poweregen.
a healer should NEVER heal a clothwearer in combat. that endangers the whole group and clothwearers getting aggro get it cause they screw up in the first place.
To have a seconary character capable of crowd control, even if it is only root. To have a pet, which although not wonderful, can take the aggro from an inc mob for a little while while tanks deal with other mobs. To have the best buffs in Hibernia. And yes, to have insta heals.what i dont understand is: if i have a warden and a bard, why the hell would i want a druid in a group? what does a druid offer that another warden or bard couldnt do better?
instaheals do SO suck pve.

First one heals, uses biggest heals available and only when the health is low. This way you get the full benefit of the maxed heals. When pow gets low, you sit down and the other healer takes over. Repear, cycle, wrinse, worked every time.

Sorry, but 90% of high level healers will disagree. The large heals drain mana super-quick, and after 4 of them you have to sit down and rest for 5 minutes. Also, if you wait for health to get low, and the mob gets a critical, bam! you're a tank down.
The best way to do it is for both healers to use small heals - I recommend the second baseline one, not a spec heal. This way, when you heal, you use very little mana, and if both happen to heal the same person, well, it doesn't matter because you only wasted a tiny bit of mana casting it anyway.

Well then i'm one of the 10%. And also...."if both happen to heal the same person"...read my post...this can't happen.
I just happen to disagree, no wait, you disagree so i'm just sticking to my opinion.

in theory, yes.Huh? Care to explain that at all? Surely grouping is the best way to gain xp, whatever level you are?
wrong. a good runemaster will get aggro only once if he groups with me. a bad runemaster gets aggro twice and then looks for a new group.Wrong. A good healer will know exactly when to heal every single member of the group.
instaheal is sucky on tanks, unless major screwup occurs, they are uneccesary. if major screwup occurs, you kill yourself with insta and dead healer means dead group.Again, seriously wrong. If you believe that, then I can only come to the conclusion that your healers have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Instahealers are lifesavers, for every single person in the group.
Well, aren't you a friendly chap.Originally posted by infozwerg

That's the whole point, dear. Sometimes, things don't go according to plan. And that's when insta saves lives.instaheal is sucky on tanks, unless major screwup occurs, they are uneccesary. if major screwup occurs, you kill yourself with insta and dead healer means dead group.
Let me give you an example. I am the secondary healer in a group. The primary healer is doing the mezzing, since the mobs are all purple to me - my mezz would just interfere. We pull, and it goes a bit wrong. Every mezz gets resisted. I notice this and start spamming my area mezz, but as you might expect, this gets resisted too. But our tanks are good, and manage to get the mobs off of us and onto them, so we start healing. Except, because the tanks are taking big damage, we have to spam heal, and the other healer manages to aggro back onto himself. I am now left with 1 dead tank, 4 tanks on low life, 1 healer with aggro, and a runie. What do I do? Group insta. I KNEW full well that I would die doing it, but every other member of the group survived. That is why group insta is useful. It's all about knowing your tools and knowing when to use them. If you cannot recognise this, then that's your problem.groupinsta kills yourself every time it is used, unless someone with amnesia or mezz can take mobs of you. in midgard, the char with amnesia and mezz is healer, so groupinsta == dead healer == dead group.

Anuther thing that can be a pain, is as said before, a couple of mobs (BaF) and one gets the cleric, all the tanks seems to take them out 1by1, this cost me my life lots of times, the point of haveing a cleric (aka a class that can heal) Is to heal, why they can't just get that mob of me i don't know.
Well anyway just my views...
