Suggestion Bloodmage - Combat Heals.

[teddytazer]

Up until Bloodmage gets chant, they have no combat heals. They get bandage but it only works outta combat. this makes being a healer trouble some in any combat situation. I suggest fixing this or buffing chant, the warmup on chant makes it easy for any rogue or warrior class to kick or bash the bloodmage. Having medium/close range skills means the bloodmage has to be reasonably close to its target to damage and with the warmups which slow the bloodmage down (soulleech/chant/bloodboil).

But they have that slow so its ok.... They can just kite I guess then heal.... idk..

Well, I think the reason for bandage only being allowed out of combat for bloodmages (is it the same for other healer classes too?) is because their main attack, drainsoul, heals them.

Only Bloodmage can't use bandage in combat.

Ok, that's what I thought.

Drainsoul is a very small heal and is definitely not a replacement for bandage in combat.

I think that Healers are stronger than bloodmages till the bloodmage hits 20, (when they get their DoT) honestly. Tranfuse is a worthless skill, so far I have never run below 80% mana in a fight. The ability to reliably heal in combat, while dealing only 20 less damage with smite vs drainsoul is just much better.

Not to mention that healers also deal nearly twice as much melee damage as a lvl 1 bloodmage.

Giving bloodmage the ability to use bandage in combat would very likely be OP though, it is like a .5sec cast for them.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I've never been bloodmage before so I don't know too much about it

Constrict is a great slow, but if your target is afflicted, and your using a skill with a warmup, you wont be going that much faster then them. The problem is before chant bloodmage is a useless healer in combat, and somewhat even when they do get it.

As I am a bloodmage and very good at it, all i have to say to this is NO, btw bloodmage and only bloodmage bandage can not be used in combat
