Thread: quick question.

For healers out there do you play an rk and a minstrel? I am trying to determine which I like best and I personally like my rk best, which is making me feel guilty about my minstrel as I been playing her for 5 years and shes rank 14, but the mechanic change to me is refreshing. I am wondering which is more effective for healing , although she needs more gear and am working on that, but I still find 5 blue line she is hard to kill even w/ what she has. My question is which is a better healer for the moors or does it just souly depend on the person playing? I am preferring healing over dps, cause I dont have end game gear on her fully yet and I find she dies way too fast. Actually sad I gave my minstrel the first age and not my rk. This is in regards to pvp not pve.

While I don't play a healer, after leading several raids I've come to like RK healing more, partly because of the aoe group bubble, and the great single target heals on the focus fire target, that being said the minstrel has it's advantages as well. So I'd go RK

A good rk healer is definitely better than a mini. This is due to things such as wondrous foreshadowing, their group bubble, the ability to spam mending verse, etc. The only catch is that the rk has to know what they're doing in order to preemptively stack some hots on people since they don't have the burst heals of a mini.

It can also take a little time for rks to get things rolling without consumables but the attunement game is not usually an issue. I love healing on my rk, don't care for dps as much. Sadly he was only really used for healing Draigoch/Foundry if kin was short on a healer or for providing ore for my metalsmith and he hasn't been touched for quite some time. Didn't have it in me to go through the LI grind after the changes.

I think they're both horrible. I hear defilers and warleaders are where it's at.

Drop the rk, drop the minnie, roll a defiler, roll a warleader, and revel in all your healing awesomeness.

Also, don't forget to heal me.

Thanks.

I recall noticing that most wargs , cept snark and rax dont get heals;P

Depends on the composition of the craid. Last night, we didn't have a single reaver until about 30 mins before the action ended so the 3-4 warg were all the melee we had and we were getting lots of loving (it was awesome). But yes, in most cases wargs don't get much healing b/c 1) We die so quickly to FF that healers can't respond and 2) freeps like to kill the reavers up in their faces, so they need tons of heals :P.

The reason snark gets heals is b/c everyone loves her <3. The reason Rax gets heals is probably b/c he's the raid leader and everyone has it inbred into them to keep the raid leader alive.

Actually, lately, the heals have been much better on our side. There are some defilers and warleaders who have been throwing me heals quite a bit which I appreciate to no end.

Of course, we can always use more healing. Come to creepside, Alzie. Throw off your freep shackles and play on the side of good for once.

For healing 1-2, maybe 3 people, RK takes the cake, when you need huge heals quickly, often on several people minstrel does it better.

Minstrel. The fact they can still op 2k+ pretty much instantly while in WS is lolz.
