to stay on topic: i suggest guardian if you want to be a true healer. mages are expected to deal out significant dmg + some heals and are quite a bit more expensive to gear. with guardian you can heal and tank and are much cheaper to gear with hm, i.e. heal mastery, equipment. just be sure to add stats into int and have decent ee (enhanced effect) armor and hm weapons. just my opinion, there a others out there with much more exp at LS than me......pm jlhromeo from kirby guild, he is gg about helping new players
