How is it healing in this game anyway? The UI doesn't seem very suited for it. Playing a slayer and considering alts.

20€ for bankslots? ...seriously? Play one char and If you aren't bored after level10 you can think about buying the game.

I can only speak for the Priest side here.

You have a lock-on heal that can heal up to 3 targets. You activate the skill and target the players you want to heal with the crosshair to mark them and then activate the skill again to cast the heal on those players. I think to remember this skill generates a lot of threat though.

That's what the lock-on heal looks like (people highlighted in green are locked on):
+ Show Spoiler +

Then there's a good Heal over Time (HoT) that is cast as a medium sized circle a few meters in front of you. Everybody standing within the circle will get the HoT. The circle also lasts for a few seconds, so you can run in there to get the heal too.

This is the aforementioned skill (the white circle):
+ Show Spoiler +

There's a big group heal that is cast as a medium sized circle directly in front of you, so you have to get very close to use it, but it is by far your strongest heal. This circle directly vanishes after being cast.

There's a small HoT that has a giant circle. The same giant circle is used for the dispell. So you just activate the skill and the circle appears in front of you (actually you're standing in the circle as well, but at the very end) and everyone in the circle will get the effect.

For buffs everybody has to stand in the circles as well. Some other skills like Kaja's Shield (blocks a set amount of incoming damage) don't need to be targeted and the whole group will get it by activating it.

Then there's also Energy Stars, which boosts the parties damage. You actually need to cast this on an enemy and then there's a shockwave spreading from them. Every party member within the shockwave will get the damage boost.

Basically you spend a lot of timing running around into range of the person needing your support and aiming the circles so that they pop up directly under them. They're large enough for some margin of error and if you aimed good enough you'll be able to hit everyone that's standing around the boss.

It's pretty fun, but can get very hectic since people tend to run around like chickens if they're low on health instead of just running towards you. I've missed countless circle heals because people just run out of them all the time.

For Mystic I think they also have the lock-on heal, but only with 2 targets. Rest is done by dropping the Health/Mana Orbs that players actively need to pick up by themself.

Basically (back when I played), a priest can offset a bad party by having more accessible heals. But a good party will probably benefit a little more by having a Mystic, since they have strong buffs

Healing endgame is a lot of different for Priests. For one, Focused Heal is weak and usually only used to keep the tank or certain targets high on HP when they're not in danger of dying. Healing Circle and Healing Immersion get used a lot more due to the amount that they heal and the amount of damage bosses can do if people take hits. There are also other things that you need to do in between damage taken on the party such as giving back Mana to your party as there are times when Infused Charms can't cover enough especially for sorcs.

So I have some T14 items that I rolled pretty decent stats on. Should I bother spellbinding them while attempting to masterwork them or is it more efficient to reroll after it's masterworked?
