Just wondering, what's the difference between a EU admin and a normal admin?

 

[Fjordsen]

EU admin: Something completly new. I don't think there has been one before

An admin on the EU timezone.

In other words, we now have around the clock coverage. (Kinda)

So to make sure I am understanding this right. Chant cast on a different player heals 350 but chant case on self heals 175?

What about full heal? Does full heal heal 50% of max health?

I know some people complain about healers but this seems a little drastic. I know most healers including myself would make a sad face and respec

We're not done with the healer re-gear. Still balancing. We need to test with Full-heal, let me know.

When PVP-Arenas come out, healers are a requirement to win and they are coming out sooner than you think

 

[STDs4YouAnd4Me]

I know a Paladin's Layhands now does 50% healing.

 

[Kainzo]

I know a Paladin's Layhands now does 50% healing.

Hmm that's a side-affect that was not intended, we're going to need to patch it up and or fix it.

 

[Haxnn]

What type of award will you get for mastering?

 

[llvllax]

I understand nerfing healers a LITTLE is needed, and I understand that clerics arnt supposed to be a 1v1 class but no matter what, everyone gets into 1v1 senerios and we should have a semi equal chance if winning if we are the same level. Right now clerics are tanks but cannot put forth barly any attack, so all we have is heals. I can get 3 hit by some classes with full gear, so if I don't invuln and heal, its over before I get swing my hoe, if i can run away I can get myself healed enough to fight back but if my heals get nerfed 50 percent clerics will have no chance against low leveled classes, never mind level 60s. So my suggestions for clerics, is this drop the healing 30 percent but increase smites damaged a percent per level. This will balance 1v1s,and have little effect on group fights. I also feel group heals radius should be increased. I have no suggestions for other healing classes cause I've only played cleric.

PS carrots and potato's don't give farmers xp. I also think these 2 items should be added to region requirements for towns.

Why is layhands an exception to the 50% healing rule?

 

[Kainzo]

Introduced Social-Pets under Ethical Micro-Transactions!

 

[Bingy1218]

Why is layhands an exception to the 50% healing rule?

Because its sole purpose is to insta heal you not half your health or w/e

 

[themeoff]

Im sorry bingy but that applies to all heals people just think heals are open when its really invulnerable and might. I cant count how many times I couldn't out heal a ninja or warriors specs damage as disc
