Hey Andalla, Thanks for the post. I too have grouped with wardens and shamans and have seen what I considered at the time to be sub-par healing ability for the difficulty level of what our group was doing. This isn't to say that the healer in question wasn't a skilled player, but rather that the class itself wasn't capable, or was overtaxed for the situation. I have been spoiled to have regular templars as my healers (and they know I appreciate them too) so I thought I would compliment them with an inquisitor. What really made templar stand apart from the rest was grouping in Runnyeye in my 30's. I'd been inside with each class type (cleric, druid, shaman) and I found the success of the group was higher when a cleric was the healer. The druid and shaman in that level range was pretty hard pressed to keep us up. From other threads I gather that warden's come out on top of the healing game, but since I've hit 50, I haven't taken my warden friend out for a spin to Nek 2. Thanks for the info, Jaale Frostfire, 50 Wizard Navyna, 11 Cleric Hands of Time, Oggok
