I'm aware that I am contradicting my original complaint about click-casting...but I wasn't discounting healbot -- it's just not a personal favorite. <br /><br />With respect to holding a node, my point was not that you can hold the node yourself; I think it's very difficult for *anyone* to hold a node by themselves. The point is, I think, that a healer is best equipped to *stall* an attack on the node until reinforcements can get there. You'll go down, sure, but slower than a dps by their lonesome selves would.Ihrayeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11391008114605400745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955294289842361670.post-15301668864419969572009-12-21T23:45:37.711-08:002009-12-21T23:45:37.711-08:00I agree with what you've said so far, but have...I agree with what you've said so far, but have a couple minor comments:<br /><br />- I love Healbot (Officially Healbot Continued I think) for BGs. This is mostly because it's the only way to easily heal 12 or 15 people at a time. With the proper settings, only those people needing healing are easily visible.. and with proper modifiers you can cast 6 or 7 spells with your shift/control/alt and your left and right mouse buttons<br /><br />- At level 80, a healer can't really hold a flag on their own. You have to have a DPS with you, for exactly the reason you suggest. I'm a tree, I can cyclone you, then do it again, but after that I start running out of ways to keep you from killing me. Since almost nobody attacks a node alone, I'm dead shortly after. I need the stuns that a good dps will add to the fight simply because I know I will be the target. Damage at lvl 80 is higher compared to healing, especially until you get to arena lvl of resilience.Gerdofalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332286031101445435noreply@blogger.com
