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 + ![[image loading]](http://arboreannights.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/tera-priest-focus-heal-1.png) 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 + ![[image loading]](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GZgMBoMRsK4/T7qbdWlxHLI/AAAAAAAAAJM/57JbnCEl0Ms/s1600/TERA_ScreenShot_20120511_134916.png) 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 | ||

How viable is soloing/questing on one though? | ||

I usually play heal/support characters in most MMOs and this is actually the one I had most fun with, since you're active all the time and not just standing in the back cycling through 2-3 skills. Priest can also solo pretty well since they have a few strong burst skills (namely Shocking Implosion), which even up to level 50 can sometimes one-hit smaller groups of enemies. Because of that it has a pretty high cooldown (15 seconds) though. The first 14 levels drag a little bit, but then you'll get Shocking Implosion and just blast away anything ^^ | ||

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. Any gameplay footage you'd recommend checking out for the full experience by chance? | ||

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. Both Priest and Mystic lock-ons are 2 targets initially, but can be increased to 3 targets with a particular glyph. Also the big and medium heals share cd so theres a bit of cd management in there too. The lock-on heal fortunately has practically 0 cd. Soloing is super viable because you can't die to anything outside of being one-shot / permalocked in CC. Battles can take forever though if you're trying to kill a BAM or something. | ||

Should I bother spellbinding them while attempting to masterwork them or is it more efficient to reroll after it's masterworked? Always masterwork items first. It can take many dozens of attempts to MW items. Saving 3-4 stats will cost you like 1500g+ per reroll. | ||

One thing that does annoy is that the lock-on system, although innovative, falls short when you can't actually see the guy you're trying to heal. Like if he's hidden behind a boss or something, it's a massive hassle to wave the mouse around the screen wildly hoping you lock on. Also pubs never pick up the motes I drop. I know it gets more challenging later, but at the moment it's basically a breeze. | ||

Also the lock-on system is fine. When you activate your lock-on the blue hp bars for your party will show through the monster. Plus a blue sillhouette i believe. | ||

I still got complimented on my healing, but I really hate it when people die on me. On February 13 2013 04:29 blahz0r wrote: Healing endgame is a lot of different for Priests.

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. I regularly use the Mana skill and have put all the Glyphs in there too, just didn't really list it. But looking forward to a little more challenging dungeons. So far I hardly use Healing Circle, because most of the times people don't really play along with it and run around like crazy or even run away from me when they're low on HP. I hope that changes when you play with party members that are a little more experienced though. Looking forward to Healing Immersion, but sadly it's a lvl 60 skill. Can't even recall how many times I put the circle under someone, just for them to run out of it in the last second. It's just as fun as charging up a high damage spell and just before it hits a slayer or beserker knocks every enemy out of the way :p | ||

Plus a blue sillhouette i believe. is it the quality of the rewards that increases if you have less people or do you mean that there's simply less people to share them with? and are you saying that the dungeons aren't tuned to be ran as 5? | ||
