So I woke up one day (on the other side of the bed) and I started to itch for a healer pally
Real reason: I dislike for a party of the proper level (but lacking in certain nameless poison builds) to be unable to clear a act end boss/quest boss or otherwise bring higher lvl help
So, plan is to make healer pally, first step is simple, max prayer, max holy bolt (and my lvl 45 healer is about to complete this step as soon as izual dies)
so far, got:
20 prayer
1 meditation
18-ish in HBolt
1 pt holy shield
1 pt FoH (nice sound
)
1 pt sacrifice (quite some nice dmg with a 2 hander + my prayer to prop me up)
So far I got the healing part covered, but what about when there's no party around?
Plan 1:
Max Hamers + FoH, max conc and spam ahoy
Plan 2
Get some 'ok' vengeance. Max conviction (*Cheers heard from the elemental dmg audience*).Get A3 merc (cold imo) and let him rape stuff (his -res aura should stack with my vengeance and also slow down stuff). FoH point is not considered wasted due to low lvl farming potential of FoH+hammers and for lulz value, I have my reasons.
Plan 3
Max hamers, FoH, Conviction, get A3 merc and some low conc aura somewhere from a holy craft
Merc will be main clearing force, with me as back-up.
What about gear?
I will rush myself a lvl 17 into A3 to shop for a +3 prayer stick to make insight in (...as soon as I get that damned sol...)
What else?
I hear about holy rings with prayer on equip, I'm partial to +skill rings myself. I wonder how effective will the rings be for healing power
Addendum to above: If i have meditation on equip, the +heal for meditation will be my own prayer, rite ? not the+heal from the prayer rings
