Well... there are many different opinions to this game.

This is my gaming style personally.

1-15 Caster (Rogue/Sammy/Pally/Monk/Ninja/Warlock) = No heal till level 15

Reasoning:
Mostly because with 2 casters in Mix, you should be killiing 1-6 monsters easily.
As for EPs, casters + 3x melee should be killiing them off without worrying about death, Melee can just shrine 1 or 2 items to come back.

I have resorted to grabbing a dropped T3 white to heal group because 3 of them were new and no gear.
_________

Note: both ways are correct, as long as the situation calls for it.

It is very difficult for melee to ''shrine'' gear when he is carrying equipment that will take him from lvl 1 to lvl35.

Bottom line -- heal or gtf outa my game. If I find myself in a game with no healer where I am not driving, you have just lost a damn good melee char from your party

Vault?




I am neither for nor against healing at a low level. I find it often unnecessary until 20+. In the odd case that we hit evils/shamans below 20, usually I am with a capable bunch and we blast right through them. I am also not above using the shrine, it's what it was designed for. (my 1-71 melee set sits right in my vault, nice and handy and FAR from the shrine)

That is all. Carry on.

I choose to swap gear as I fight.
Yeah -- I can use the vault, but that removes me from the fight scene, as well as slowing down the game.
With a competent healer in company, I need not worry about my health, nor do I need to pop to town to shrine up my health.

Any decent melee char will prefer to stay in the combat zone rather than limping into town every few rounds.
This is where the healers come in.
You keep us alive, we will kill whatever the group runs into.
At whatever level.

Vouch this!!

If you make a mage you should learn how to use it. I'm all melee all the time..i need heals!! I have helped hundreds of slashers with advice and donations and yet STILL come across the same bozo

mages who can't or won't heal!! I don't just kick though...i ask them the shape of Italy first...most don't even know the answer...hence my BOOT!!! Learn some geography and healing skills and

i'll cata with you!

Either I suck or the teams I've been in from lvl 1 - 20 since I started playing this game, have been horrible.

I have yet to go from lvl 1 - 20, without needing some heals.
I tend to do Hack and Shaman before 20 all the time, most of the time even Ambush.

I have no idea how some people say 1 - 20 with quests and chance of mass Ep's, no heals needed? Baffling

I've started a barb and I even carry my heals from 1-55 in vault and on character

this right here
the fastest thing that a new player can do
is buy some 1 fg hm gear
and get hooked up with a proper melee party



pardon while i plagerize this
:hifive:
