For beginners, White Mage (or Conjuror when you get it) is the simplest one in terms of how it works, because it doesn't have extra
mechanics like cards to think about. It's got heals, and damage. Usually
that's the easiest one to start with. It's also the only one that
starts at level 1 (Astrologan starts at 30, and Scholar requires getting
Arcanist to 30).Mind, comes naturally on all the shared caster/healer
gear and of course healer-specific gear. It affects the potency of your
heals and your DPS spells, so get as much of it as you can. Healers care
about having good weapons too- try not to slack off on upgrading now
and again just because you're not a damage-oriented role.
What are the do's and don'ts of your role?
- Do: keep people alive, help out with damage if no one's at risk of dying if you toss a few DPS spells, mind your aggro (heals generate a
lot of it!)
- Don't: over-heal to stave off boredom, cast HoTs (Regen, Aspected Benefic) before or during pulls- wait for the tank to stop and tag
everything before you start healing in earnest. Number two, help out
with damage if you're sure you can do so without people dying. You'll
get a better feel for when you can DPS safely as you play more. Take it
easy at the start and get more comfortable with it as you go along.
- Number three, some fights, people will expect you to handle mechanics so DPS can keep hitting the boss, like the second boss of
Stone Vigil. Learn what they are and if you aren't sure, don't be afraid
to ask. Most people would rather take the time to explain rather than
risk wiping and having to start all over again.
- Number four, tanks usually pull big. If your gear isn't up to snuff for that say something at the start to prevent tears and salt from
wiping.Click Here
