played a bit pac healer, so can tell something

if ae instas down
click on some1
/face
start to cast mezz
while casting mezz target bard/sorc and insta single stun/mezz him

actually bard can be targetted right away, 99% they are leading, so you dont have to switch targets
you cant spot sorc before he starts to cast, but then again, they dont have interrupting instas so you have like 1.5 seconds to spot them and fire insta

if you started to cast mezz at the same time with a sorc, do not even try to otmezz him, fire single insta (debuff works sometimes, since they rare use qc for mezz)

switch targets for next cast _while_ casting previous spell, saves so useful in the beginning seconds

remezz hibs few times, them silly druids with fast fingers will press their group purge just for nothing

/face before casting anything
i do it even for heals, helps to understand what's happening ^^

use your root
2.5 sec cast, very nice spell
you can even cast it between 2h/polearm/lw/spear swings (if it's only one tank, like gunnerr )

happy mezzing

Well any point of remezz if u alrdy used stunn and mezz....arn`t they imune then?

maybe better to start single root and demezz/spread heal...

and single root,single insta(cast) mezz/stun pets coming at you...

damn i felt like a damn n00b when tryed out my new spec couple runs....a bit drunk too but...sure it requires a bit more concentration than to be a poure mender..

if you mez hibs and they GP, mez again since GP removes their immunity timer so they can be mezzed again.
Oh, and always try to have atleast one single insta for those grey wolf pets that so often are trying to hump your legs and interrupting you..

hmm.. dunno if I should say this but for some this might be a good advice, NEVER use your dmg shield or a shammies dmg shield. Been in too many groups where the shammy has given me that without me noticing it just to ensure that I get killed from someone rooted

oh.. and the best time to play pac/menders are when drunk
Gives you an immunity to whines

anubis is 'teh mezzur'.

 

[Acun]

And what QB do u suggest?

 

[froler-mid]

spam amnesia(single target) and haste debuff too interupt ;FFF

 

[mehitabel]

#1 tip : let a proper pac healer lead/do the mezing

150 radius sucks - it just splits up the enemy group so you end up having to mez each individually, if you get the chance, cos the tanks that were at the back will normally come straight for you.

Just my opinion :>

 

[ormagaa]

Im 44pac 31 mend just as you.

to be honest instas suck, use it as little as possible.

The thing about start aemezz stop enemy cc, and instasinglemezz him is atleast for me ^^ very hard.
Its a good theory but with not much practic use.

I only use my insta-ae if I really have to.
And as said radius 150 suck too much to be useful.

try to open with a normal aemezz if possible, then just keep on CCing, after a while cast root on some ppl and spam that debuff for interrupt.

My qbarsetup is:

1. Big Heal
2. Spread Heal
3. Insta Single Heal
4. Insta Group Heal
5. AE Mezz
6. AE Stun (really not sure if I need this, I do use it, but only if enemies are immune to mezz and root, it gives a chased supportclass some time to escape from assisting people.
7. Insta AE Mezz
8. Insta AE Stun
9. Attackspeed debuff
10. Root

1. Purge
2. PR
3. Insta single Mezz
4. Insta Single Stun
5. Cure Mezz
6. Cure Disease
7. AE Amnesia
8. MCL
9 Power Potion
10. Endurance Potion´

I hope it can help you some and just ask ingame if you have any questions

Grouppurge gives immunity only in rare cases it does not. I noticed sometimes a particular spell-order of Mids doesnt give immunity, rest does.

However, the advice to remezz is very good. Often druids grouppurge as soon as THEY are mezzed. However, it might happen that their group is not entirely. If he GP's then the people who are mezzed are immune, the ones who wheren't mezzed (out of radius or resisted) can still be mezzed.

It also provides a nice AoE-interrupt which doesnt break mezz (mezz doesnt break mezz )

Understatement of the year I've played with you a few times and I've never seen anyone with such a good grip of the situation as you do. Every opponent is always mezzed and you start healing someone just before they get hit. You are a very good player and I'd say you've played pac healer alittle more than just a bit

 

[schinkaar]

Id disagree with anubis, bard more often than not is the main target (just as sorc) so using singel insta stun on them wastes their stun imunity (give tanks a harder job), rather use AS debuff as main CC your 4 most important keys will be as-debuff, ae-mezz, insta stun, and /face. Having these bound so you can use them as fast as possible is very important. Now regarding dr00d pets, GP will not reset their imunity (only the players imunity is reset) so relying on CC:ing pets is usually not a very good idea, instead melee them if u have a 2h you can one shot the oak spirit (1 shot on 1h aswell) and wolfcub pets. your insta mezz is however very usefull against stealthers. Now while single amnesia is great vs moc the more general interrupts should be done by as-debuff, melee and ae-mezz. Against hib pbae groups always spamm ae amnesia if they moc, if they are chanter heavy its usually better to break a few mezzes (and spam it in vein) if you are unsure than not doing it. Also get a good skald that ganks higher dr00d pets if they go on you, a good skald will reduce your workload ALOT.

insta stun on bards interrupts their instamezz, whereas debuff doesnt
against bard in 90% cases it's about who pressed insta first
you can play with sorc a bit (1.5 seconds ), but not with bard

ardamel, it could be not me was on vacation for last month
i'm not as good at mezzing, f..k up too much
as for healing, it's called battery of life ra
