Healing?

[Riftpub]

I have a level 40 cleric. I have tried healing but its just so boring. I want to heal, its always my favorite part of MMOs but cleric healing makes me want to watch paint dry lol. I was thinking about leveling a mage healer. What is mage healing like? I have yet to see a mage heal a dungeon so I cannot judge.

I have no idea what a Cloro is like but I'll concur with your statement, cleric healing in RIFT, IMO, is a total bore. And I have played healers as my main from my first MMO up until now. I rolled a Rogue Marksmen and Im having a blast.

BTW I have a level 46 cleric that will probably never see 50.

Not sure of how much you're aware of but anyway


Mages heal mostly by causing damage, through a buff called lifegiving veil, and a tank buff called synthesis which increases healing further on a single target. they have a couple of emergency regular heals on a cooldown. they're ok for 5 man content, but when raiding will usually be paired with a cleric.

As for being more fun than healing cleric, i'd say yes.

sounds fun, alright I will give it a try.

I don't think healing in Rift is boring with the Purifier/Sentinel build, I like it.
