Flying?

I know that if you are flying and do say plume shot it reduces the damage it does, I was wondering if that applies to healing (e.g. use ironheart on someone while you are flying does it heal less or the same that it would normally do?)

    I don't think it does. I've been with people before who arrgoed two mobs on accident, and one came after me because I was healing. I flew and continued healing the person from the air, and I didn't notice reduced affects. You might want to get a second answer on this one though.

    You don't lose any healing power from healing in mid-air. The main challenge for a cleric is healing in dungeons though. You can't fly in there. You might want to practice healing from the ground outside of dungeons just to get practice.

    Remember, if 2 (or more) enemies are coming at your tank and your tank only hits 1 of them, if you heal the tank, the 2nd (and 3rd, 4th, etc) enemy will then come for you. Prehealing the tank is very important so he can be healed while he is grabbing aggro from all the mobs.

    Pre Heal the tank. I learned this yesterday in a big way. And, a little too late. By the time the tank takes on a mob, takes a hit, and you start to channel, he/she could be dead and you stand there looking like an idiot. Might sound strange, but I'd rather start a spam heal before it's even needed, yes.. using my precious mp, as opposed to having to rez in the middle of a battle.

    In my situation yesterday, I couldn't get the heals on the tank fast enough (and yes, I know how to spam) and he died. The mob came for me while I was channeling to rezz, another character died, another mob comes at me, and I was hitting pots and mantous and everything I could to stay alive while channeling. Worked, as the cast hit the tank just before I died. Still meant me going back to town tho.

    If I had pre healed, the spam would have already been in place and 3 people might not have died. Might have lost that second one, but he was lower lvl and knew the tank was my main concern, but I really don't think I would have lost us all.

    Pre heal... good advice.. don't learn to too late like I did.
