Was out in emain with a group of 6 this evening 4 casters, myslef and one tank. All except one caster were lvl 50.
Now Saxo gets a attacked by a SB and I pull out my staff and give the little Kobie bugger 2 good solid hits. Saxo survives the fight and immediately calls me a "stupid Friar" for not healing him!
Look at this logically.
0 seconds into fight : Fight starts with Saxo getting "Big PA"
1 second into fight: I have to decide whether to heal him or to attack. I decide to fight. Why? I'll show you.
If I heal I will heal you around 4 seconds into the fight (1 second to realise you have been hit 3 seconds to target Saxo and cast heal spell) for my max heal 140 points I have rejuv 15 and no insta-heals as a Friar this is average rejuv.
After 4 seconds into a fight you have been hit twice for probably in the region of 800 points out of roughly 1000 with with good items. After 5 seconds you will be hit again for another 400 ie 1200 hit points of damage more than 200 than you have so you die. If I heal you will still die. Do the maths! Only a Cleric can possibly save a Caster who gets hit by an Assassin and then only with an insta heal.
The best thing to do in that situation for a Friar is thump the little sod! I can attack twice in 5 seconds for a very good rate of damage (I killed a yellow Runie in 2 hits last night) meaning you have more chance of living as the third attack may not go in as the little fella is dead.
Next time Saxo I'll just let you die. I get more RPs if you are dead when I kill him after all....
Calling me a "Stupid Friar" is just rude even if you don't understand how the game works in terms of Friars and healing and what is/isn't possible with a limited rejuv skill. I suggest you spend some time playing in Emain with Friars and ask other high level Friars how they play. I'm sure all the other Friars in Emain would have done the same - ask them they will agree with me I'm sure - and if you don't like it I suggest you don't group with Friars and just live in ignorance.
