The problem is, I see people with worse or similar gear claiming they can well at 90%+, while i can only manage about a 60% success rate. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong

Hey buddy

Do you use your healing charm often?

your biggest problem is your heal charm. best bet is to get a nice one. 120+ ee focused/regular should up your success quite a bit. less heals = more dmg.

yea I'm working on getting a new heal atm although they're all freakin' expensive and overpriced lol.

But i see people with similar heal charms claiming 90% wells. Are they just bullshitting?

They're either bullshitting or they have mad skills or luck.

I seriously doubt that they can hit 90% though... I'm barely at 90% with my gear.



Do you find that you run out of mana or they are hitting you too hard? Or a combination of both?

Both really.

Sometimes I just have to give up because my heal doesn't do much more than the monster, so i use all my mana healing... therefore having none left to attack.

Yeah that'll happen sometimes, no matter how good of gear you've got.
The one thing that has made welling much easier for me is to always keep my health above 3/4 because I've found that monsters can easily crit you for that much. I used to let my life go down low but you get trapped like that, constantly healing while you're being attacked. Even if you have to keep switching back and forth from attacking and healing it will be better.

I can tell you now that your rate will improve significantly once you get a nicer heal the only problem is finding one.

The gear u've got isn't really good. also I would advice u to get on 65th lvl so ur drop should be better.
basically u need to upgrate ur stuff and get 1 more lvl

...Why do i need another level? All the extra level will do is make everything harder.

Don't listen to him, you should stay at 64 for now. The only thing that more levels will help you with is your mana pool, but the monsters do get significantly harder.
