Inquisi end game.

[Sikary]

<DIV>Quick question, how do Inquisi's fair end game? How desirable are we for raids and what not? Do you have problems with getting pick up groups?</DIV>

[jago quicksilver]

we own, we have good buffs for either an Off tank or DPS group, exceptional healing, and solid debuffs.

[jago quicksilver]

didnt answer the last part... Most healers never have trouble getting a PU group.

[menelaus109]

<div>I agree with Ryklis, we are desirable on raids due to our buffs, debuffs and healing capability and youll never struggle to get a group as an end game healerPossibly the only raid issue is that few 'ideal' raids will contain more than 1 Inq so if you are in a guild with a few you might have to sit some raids out</div>

Cool, thanks for all the info, I rolled one and so far I am enjoing it. This coming from a MT player. Any downside to using a barbarian for race?<div></div>

[jago quicksilver]

there are no real distinct advantages or disadvantages as far as i can tell when rolling priest classes.for some classes racial traits will help (like ogres and a few other classes getting a %to max HP, or gnomes/ratongas getting an extra deaggro which makes them a prime choice for a DPS class) but healers really isnt one of them. i guess you could get an advantage from playing a race with a + to max power pool, but other than that, i really dont see one.

I would say being a Barb on raids is a bonus. I know from experience that being a Gnome and thus small it can be a pain when there are multiple mobs in an encounter and they are dead and not looted. I often get buried when raid moves off to next spot.

Inquisitors also have the ability to cure most MIT off of group/raid members very quickly. There's even a group cure for arcane damage that's handy for raids despite it taking up a lot of power.  As for classes, I took an Eruidte.

Ogre here, not really any great advantage to a picking a specific raceDefinitely pick a tall race though, pick a gnome and all you will see is ankles and [Removed for Content] when in tight spots and 3rd person view doesnt work

We are very useful endgame and while were not the best MT cleric we work well in a pinch. I also play a Barb healer and other then being mistaken for tank occasionally it has no detrimental affect on the class.

<P>Hello I am a 70 Inquis new to the end game and I have a few questions.  My guild has started to raid Labs and some other t7 zones.  On raids I am sometimes in the MT group because we have one templar that cannot always show up.  On raids I know my main job is healing but I feel like I am not contributing enough to the raid.  I though out my debuffs when I can but mainly focus on healing the tank.  I have read and agree that we are great scout group healers because of the dps buff and haste buff.  My concern is that I am not doing something I should be doing to make the raid a success and I was hoping that some other more raid experenced healers could let me know what you do on raids to see if their is anything I am missing.  It may just be me and I may be doing everything right.  I try to cure the effects that are on my group and the tank as quickly as possible and I only use convert when I feel that the mob will be tough and need a little extra healing power.  I have all my heals at ad3 and got the m2 choice at 64 for my heal.  Also all my hp and ac buffs are ad3.  Please let me know if their is anything I should be doing because so far I enjoy raiding and want to make sure I am giving my all to make the raid a success.</P> <P> </P> <P>Thanks</P> <P> </P> <P>Beldep</P>

<div></div>there is NEVER a time when you should have convert turned off. it is a added 230 heal (before the critical modifier that i get on it 60% of the time) on top of everything we cast. cures, heals and even totems and horses proc the heal.it takes no consentration to have up and the 50 mana it takes when it procs is a joke. with a decent melee class in group you should hardly ever run out of mana with chilling inquest.theres been many times where i critical heald with my direct heal and convert and it was just enough to save somebody. those massive AE's that land raidwide hurt, and to get a additional 230-300 heal on top of your group heal can save a life.and to answer your question. your job is to heal and cure. if you have the time, toss a debuff. but bottom line is as long as nobody is dying in your group (excluding the idiot fusion junkie wizards) your doing your job. theres fights in certain zones where i dont have a thing to do. debuff and see if i can make the parse list. so i do feel a little un needed at times. we usualy have 6 healers in raid. im always in the melee dps group by myself, so healing is either all out or none at all. those all out fights are what makes me play this game...its what i live for. those "sit back and see if i can find some grass on the ground to play with" fights come along also.so bottom line is as long as everybody is alive when its time to loot the chest, you have done your job. its those times when your rebuffing and running back to the mob that you should ask yourself "am i doing what i need to?"<div></div><p>Message Edited by Allowin on <span class=date_text>09-22-2006</span> <span class=time_text>06:55 AM</span>
