Calling All Healers. (IMPORTANT) Preview Weekend Information.

He has, uhm, a couple of sentence fragments and some grammar abuse. My English isn't very good, or anything, but:


" Here you go Mook, this paragraph will be the reason I’m wanting to Warfist join with out any grammar errors (Hurts my brain to read.). Well, I guess you kind of get who I am and that know I really want to join Warfist. I’m a semi-hardcore player (end sentence or place conjunction) I play 35+ hours a week (ditto) I’m a competitive player, an(d) I don’t like losing and just want to kill BLUEBERRY, I enjoy PvE but not as much as I do when I PvP/RvR (Got lazy, because this sentence is a huge run-on.). Also, most guilds out there fail and by me sticking around in the forum and talking to people and the community that I see I can tell this guild will go far. "


I think the whole thing needs to be reworded, or just plain rewritten.


Edit:

Someone beat me to it... even though mine is an attempt at fixing. x3

^ My input.








....Yea, I found it somewhere, and I wanted to use it. Lots.

i rolled a zealot in preview weekend went int o pvp scenario and placed first in heals twice as much as the 2nd shamy. plus i was rank 3 lol

After some screwing around and reading of forums, I think I'll roll a disciple. While doing the big dps numbers may be more spiffy, it's easy to see how important having a healer who is dead serious about healing is to the RvR effort. (Tanks who protect the others too, but should be a fair deal of those)

I aim to be all about the healing, as their group heals look to be durn impressive at the higher ranks with plenty of points in Dark Rites, as those group heals look durn impressive.

I know most consider them the weakest healer, but looking at Sindal's guide on WHA, it really gives a well thought out response to their potential at the higher ranks. (Can't confirm it myself, as it seems it doesn't really start to happen until the late 20's)

Anyways, you can sign me up for a healer who won't care much for DPS beyond using the CC effects of the attacks and building up Soul Essence.
Dok Dark Rite Guide

Healers are definitely a must for our RvRs. I remember back at the keep, when we were defending at the 2nd level, and the tanks stood at the stairs blocking the way, and tons of Order kept coming up (darn those IBs). Just wanna say thanks to all the healers that kept us going and going.

Brawler spec does sound good. Tho Brawler/Tough....i dont know how well the synchro is. And I wonder how much utility a shield really gives for tanking in WAR (besides the abilities associated for BO) in terms of block rate, ratings (unlike WoW, there's no increase to AC).

Sorry that I could not stay for the whole meeting. My crew came earlier than I expected.

I will come off as pretty arrogant in this post. I'm not exaggerating though... but I'm working on my arrogance, aaagh.
I will be rolling a DoK. I played one in the preview weekend, and it was a blast. I managed to get to Rank 11 RR 11 pretty quickly because it was so damn easy to win the scenarios. I don't think the people I were playing against were any good, and I think that the disciple, for the little glimmer that I managed to see, is really really overpowered. At first I stood back and healed (before I got rend soul), meleeing when I needed Soul Essence, and I easily topped the healing charts by large margins.

Then I got rend soul. Healing was a breeze. I dont know what the advantage was, maybe DoK's are just ridiculous, but I found myself easily taking on 5-6 enemies- alone. The only time that they could kill me was when there was so much melee on me that rend soul couldnt be channelled. But there is a talent that prevents (or drastically reduces?) interruption for rend soul later on.... it's kinda frightening how powerful the class will be. I didnt play past level 11, so maybe the class gets weaker, but it sure was a breeze getting there. I almost didnt feel like it was a healer class, because it was so much more efficient to just heal myself and kill everything faster than if I healed the tank and myself and slowed down the DPS. The tanks didnt die, of course, they just werent topped off like it would be if they were being properly healed. It's a dangerous mindset for a healer to get in... pretty much like the shadow priest of WoW.

Quick question for anyone who could answer:
I plan on speccing to increase my Rend Soul, would it be more effective to stack damage gear, and thus do more healing because of the 250% modifier, or stack healing gear? The end goal is to max out survivability, but that can come in many different ways. If I kill a target very very fast then I am obviously am no longer taking damage and my survivability is huge. But if i just keep myself up with mega heals and slowly wear him down, that works too. I'm trying to find the perfect balance, any advice from someone with more experience with the class would be hugely welcome. I plan on mostly levelling through RvR and PQ's, so not having damage dealing capabilities is fine, as long as I am still effective without them.

The biggest problem I see w/ DoK's especialy in pugs is alot forget to heal anything other than your self. Yes you will do alright like that but the class can be so so much more when played right. They are refered to as the weakest healing class because they cant just heal as the shammy/zealot can but the are a nessary and welcome addition to any group. They also require a understanding of the class mechaninc and how to best use it, hot the switch rolls in a pinch from dps to healer to general support the are a great do it all class.

Well i rolled a shaman in PW, i will roll a shaman in open beta and i will roll a shaman in Head start!

PoG at the start just to level up, need to be self sufficient for a little while at least. I will re-spec PoM if needed later.

I have a friend or two who want to play Warhammer. One of them does have a pre-order, and the other is waiting for word from us if it's fun to play. Being the charismatic lady I am, I'm sure I can get you guys at least another healer and DPS.

awesome

Well that is a easy one to answer

Well, she's waiting for me to say if it's fun or not, and she won't listen until I've played it. She's also an avid roleplayer, so I might need my boyfriend there to explain stuff to her as well.

More chicks is always good.

When you hear her, you might think it's a man. Sometimes, I call her Bob in public... cause we like fooling the masses into thinking she's my boyfriend. Especially at the mall.

sounds like squibs type

Well then, how about we set you two up? She likes to roll male archers named Nate/Nathan.

Squib Will be there.

Just cuz I prefer to roll toons with big boobs and great asses means nothing.

Well for those of you who I teamed with during Closed Beta and the Previw Weekend know that I will be making a Disciple of Khaine. I agree with the observation that they are a little gimped at lower levels but they are very useful at higher levels. Between their DPS heals, their AOE heals and their group buffs (especially Covenant of Celerity) they make a great support healer/buffer. However I agree we only need a limited number of these archtypes in RvR as there is a definite need for Zealots and Shamans.

I'll hopefully figure it out in the OB DoK or Shaman.. Or may stick with my sorcerer. No idea yet.

During the preview weekend, I rolled a DoK. I plan to roll a DoK in beta and for the head start. From what I saw this weekend I believe that there is tons of potential at higher levels.

HoTs are hawt.

This is the reason I enjoy my Witch Elf.

I enjoyed playing a shaman during pw and plan on playing one for ob and live.
