Fury as a healer.

[Nal]

<div></div><div></div><div>I'm just curious, but in terms of end game, which is the best class to roll if you like to heal? This is my first round in EQ2, and I rolled a Fury as it seemed to be the best described one out there. And I have no problems with killing mobs. It was a [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] until I got the level 11 version of Twirl( I think that's the name), but none the less, soloed well. With my time I think I'll end up solo'ing until I get to a decent level where I can join a guild and level with groups(Right now it takes a long time to find a group, and I can grind quests faster alone).</div><div> </div><div>So, enough babbling, which Priest Subclass is the best to roll now that we pick one of four in the beginning?( And I mean best for healing, and raiding viability/need[PS if I seem lost it's because I played a priest in WoW for a year raiding MC/BWL])</div><p>Message Edited by Nalge on <span class="date_text">02-05-2006</span><span class="time_text">03:49 PM</span></p><p>Message Edited by Nalge on <span class="date_text">02-05-2006</span><span class="time_text">03:50 PM</span></p>

<div></div><p> </p><p>              I cant speak for the other priest classes, but furies do quite well for heals. Once you hit level 54, you should strongly consider taking the Master II Untamed Bloodflow (Unless a negative change happens by the time you reach 54). That spell along with Back to the Fray are my bread and butter (Pre-KoS) I raid (not yet 60).  Only downside that I can think of is that furies/wardens have HoT's and are not a great match against wards or reactive heals. Only reason why I say that is, wards and reactive heals give the healer a few seconds to continue casting against a mob that hits HARD!</p><p>          </p><p> </p><p>                 </p>

I play a 22 templar, and I can tell you those reactives which are 5 second casts (yup 5 seconds in some cases) are about useless in some situations... I'm seriously looking at a reroll, as I prefer to keep my group alive versus, being stuck in spell cast progress bar hell. Also don't even THINK about soloing with a templar... I tried this post LU19... and its worse than ever... its pathetic (trust me)...just my take on templars anyway....Fury's I hear are are good at soloing, and heal really well, with some good fill in the middle HOT spells.... sounds like nirvana compared to templar B.S.<div></div>

<div></div><p>Can i just say that i love my fury?!</p><p>I heal well both grouped and solo.  Although at 32, most of my spells are adept 1, i have kept a group alive in runnyeye when i was just 30 and most of my group members were 37+.  mind you i was the only healer in the group.  in situations like this though, i can burn power very fast.  it is all about how you play and if you know how to play moreover..</p>

I have parsed healers healing on raidseasy raid mobs we dont get much healing in, i just debuff keep a HOT going and do some damage.Where Fury shines is in tuff encounters, we have the fastest burst healing, and also the fastest power burn.When the tank gets to orange its a furies burst healing that can keep them up long enough for other healers to catch up.I love tuff encounters, taking down mobs for first time is nice<div></div>

[Meleania]

I just constantly keep my HoT on the tank and throw in the direct/hot heal(s) on them when needed, when things get bad I chain cast all my direct heals<div></div>

<div></div><p>What is HOT. Sorry but I looked at eh spells list for Fury and warden and the slang eludes me.</p><p> </p><p>At lvl 57, I know for a fact that I can beat any templar to the punch with quick fast heals and myself and tank are usually the last ones to be alive if we have a major wreck with a strong mob. Fury's in my oppinion are the first thing any grp should grab for heals with a templar to keep it even. Two fury's working a group or a warden with a fury worls well too. In a matter of seconds I can hit the tank with 5 to 6 spells that will pull his butt outta trouble and well into the green at lvl 60.</p>

<div>HOT = Heal over time.  Our regen line basically.</div>

<div></div><p>Well,</p><p>I have a 21 Templar so I cannot specifically advise to the "end game".  I can tell you however that most people that complain about Templar's healing ability probably are doing something wrong.  The reactive spells are awesome, and what I term as "emergency" spells like Radiance are wonderful (zero cast time).  The problem comes in when trying to solo.  It SUCKS.  Even the basic quests take a long time. </p>

<div></div><p>hey guys.  I am a 59 templar i have all adept 3s and all legendary and some fabled gear.  I love my templar....but we do have our weaknesses =)  Our cast times on spells take F-O-R-E-V-E-R to go off lol and don't even think about soloing.  My first toon when the game launched was a fury (which got shelved due to druid aggro problems)...then I went to mystic...wasn't really my thing...then i rolled a templar which suited our guild tank who is a guardian.  My advise is to pick a class and play it to the end....if you keep rerolling around level 25ish...you never really know the class well enough to give it a fair shot.  All healers do a great job healing.  So IMO, there is no BEST healer in the game, only good players...it is all the person behind the keyboard =)  Pick the class that you are happy playing and stick with it for the long haul.</p><p>Happy hunting</p><p>Lunaa 59 templar, mistmoore </p>

<div>I wuv my Fury I can be main healer 2nd healer or DPS makes me happy</div>

[CodeKill]

<div></div><p>Aye , Same as Telka. Furies are da Bomb. Furies Rule, Templars Drool. LOL  Actually a duo of Templar Fury mix is hard to beat, two fury's or a fury and a warden, can support most grps, with out a Templar.</p><p> </p>

[Stitchelle]

I went from playing a templar religously to rolling a fury post DoF.....each person has their own play style and each type healer has it's advantages and disadvantages, as an active raider I enjoy the fury class for it's quick recast times.Personally, I have tried going back to the templar but have never made it past level 54 with her, my level 60 fury keeps me beyond satisfied for grouping and for raiding, I can't imagine ever trying to play another healing class fulltime anymore!<div></div>
