<p>The difference between races is very small. Take whatever looks you prefer.</p><p>For deity, I suggest going for Rodcet Nife.</p>

<p>I went Woodelf, and am looking over the different wis pets available.</p><p>Sure, Rodcet may be conisidered the best choice for a healer...but I just don't care for how...over zealous...the whole thing was when RN was being reintroduced.</p><p>Anyhow...maybe these links will help.</p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Traditions" target="_blank">http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Traditions</a></p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Gods" target="_blank">http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Gods</a></p><p>Even tho racial traditions and deity pets are considered to not make much of a difference, I find that looking the traditions, gods, and pets over can help figure out what race and deity to go with.  Sometimes something just stands out to you.</p>

<p>Regardless of what you choose, it will not either [Removed for Content] or overpower your character.  The differences are small.</p><p>I know that Barbarians are "considered" one of the "healer" races.  Karana and Rodcet are two fairly good "healer" gods.</p>

<p>I went with a kerran initially before the racial traditions change as I liked the claw melee attack that was then.  I'm ok with the racial changes that took place, I lost a melee attack but I gained tracking.</p><p>If I were to reroll I would stay with a kerran or one of the elf races that gets tracking.  As far as profession goes I don't think it matters that much although I would definitely pick a tinker.  There are a ton of cool tinker toys like feign death and such that compliment any class tbh.</p>

<p>Blah, didn't see the profession question. >_<</p><p>Sage, to make your own spells, imho.  You could go Armourer for your chain, but the savings on the spells would be higher, I think.</p><p>My own is a Woodworker, but I already have a Sage. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Arbreth]

<p>I am a Kerra, follower of Quellious, and way back when she was a kitten I chose Provisioner, however I too would suggest Sage as our spells seem to have a low drop rate and truly they are much better at Expert.  Kerra?  I love them, simple enough and I was on a elf revolt (everyone was an elf when the game launched), also once upon a time starting stats mattered.  (Actually a lot of stuff mattered back then, but then I am one of those nuts that wishes they did not nerf so much - bring back the random epics!)  Quellious was not only for RP reasons, but that Rodecet was not available when I decided on a god, not sure if Karana was either.  Arbreth is a Healer, the only reason I have anything in the combat arts part of the AA tree is to beef up Puppy as frankly he is my DPS most times (and to use up the points - heh).  Most of her AA is in Healing/Warding (no, I am a slacker and don't use a mirror for two specs, she is what she is and has been since I created her in December 2004).</p><p>My boyfriend has his Mystic (a Halfling by the way) follow Rodecet and she is a Woodworker (he already had a Sage in the works).  Seraphinia is a battle Mystic first though he has a mirror spec for healing that is close to mine.  His choice of god was partly RP, partly to make up for the fact she wields a massive hammer with glee and sometimes needs to heal.</p><p>Tinker - oh yes.  Though you may want to see what Domino has in store for the T&T's first.</p><p>These days choose the class that you feel comfortable playing and looking at, and I suggest that you choose a craft that you will like in the long run.  If you love to decorate, make a carpenter, want to write a million books, pick Sage (as a bonus create your own spells).  Find crafting a challenge?  Then Provisioner as you wont be so frustrated by never actually making anything (Provies dont fail, they just make less).</p>

<p>I need to take another look at the deities because it's been a while. I've been lazy about doing so because the Tunare miracle, Growth's Blessing, works wonders for me. Tunare's blessings aren't really that great for a mystic. I use forest spirit, but I've never really tracked how productive it is. TBH, I think that these blessings and miracles do more for me mentally than actual heal parse wise. Something about knowing that I've thrown everything but the kitchen-sink at the encounter makes me more aggressive mentally.</p><p>I think Rodcet has something similar to Growth's Blessing that is a damage-based proc, but, again, I just haven't had the real need to change.</p>
