yea so which heal do u find works best for you?

pure heart?
a long cast skill that gives an instant blast of alot of hp. not good for healing multiple targets.

iron heart (regen heal)
quick cast, heals the most hp but not instant. meaning it does not always keep people alive if they are low on hp and fighting a boss. also i have heard different things about how many times it stacks.

wellstreme quick heal
very quick cast giving an instant heal of a ok amount of hp. this usualy puts people off but considering the speed it can be a useful skill for healing alot of people at once. i have also heard it eats mp like crazy becuase of the amount of times it must be cast to fully heal somebody.

im not so sure which one i will go with in ob (used pure hear last time and didnt rlly like it)
so say which one u think is most suited/effictive for you.
Robb.

    easy solution get them all and use whats best suited to the moment, even a good healer will suck without the necessary tools.

    hmmmm for me it depends on the situation although i use the ironheart blessing more. If im fighting and it gets low i use wellspring. I normally put ironheart on while i run between mobs so im heled when i get there b:victory

    I use Ironheart the most for practical purposes...stacking does wonders. There's also no reason for you to START healing when a tank's HP is low, so...the fact that the regen isn't instant shouldn't make a difference.

    Wellspring is only for certainly situations...I generally use it on Venos who have swapped MP and HP... or in PvP where an instant heal is really needed. The last thing I use it for is to attempt to prevent a charm from ticking.

    Purehearted Blessing...hahaha...I have this at lv1, never used it in battle. I use this as a chi-boost when I have spare time. :D

    Yes, but would have been easier to post a new thread. Anyhow, I guess I will put my two cents in then....

    Ironheart and WellSpring are the best.

    When I was low lvl I used purehearted more than most other heals.

    I'm still just starting out, but right now I'm using them all. I went for pure healing style. So, I only have the first two attack spells and they're leveled to a minuscule amount, the amount of spirit I get left over from not having attacks is great enough to keep buffs and heals maxed for each level. I keep Ironheart maxed, Purehearted and Wellspring are just slightly behind.

    I have a blademaster I party with so neither of us are left alone. I feel like they all have their practical uses. Ironheart before each battle commences to keep that life bar full, the most used being Ironheart. In standard procedure, this is going to be the only heal used. Wellspring Surge is good in the case of an emergency, the same goes for Purehearted. The difference being the time available. If there's only about a couple seconds on the clock before death I use a quick Wellspring Surge to get the health bar into a "safe zone." Then, Purehearted Blessing to bring it back to close to full. I'll also use Purehearted Blessing if there's several enemies surrounding the target and HP is already half and quickly dropping. There should be enough time to cast the spell and it's worth it to make the HP happy again.

    In any case, Ironheart should always be an active blessing during all battles, for the whole duration of the battle. This is my first healer in an MMORPG, ever. So, some people may not agree with the way I do things. I noticed people don't seem to like Purehearted Blessing and Wellspring Surge. I don't know if that's because of mana or what, but my mana has not even reached the half way point yet. It's almost constantly full and I'm using the mana to fly above the fighter at all times. I'm sure this is only because I'm not attacking, so this might not work for everyone.

    There's my two cents.

    Not maxing the main attacks to have BotPh and CGS (at early levels) will make your days really hard later.

    Almost everyone like Wellspring... and the ones who don't like Wellspring are usually surrounded by dead people. :)

    = dead people in dungeons.

    If you say so. The strategy I laid out was for a single target, not a group. It's been working fine for me. I haven't had a one death. I've come close, but using either Wellspring or Purehearted in an emergency does the job. 3 seconds really isn't that long.. I mean yeah it's longer than the other spells, but those, to me, are just very fast. Besides, if I were trying to heal several people in a dungeon I would just use an AoE.

    Also, let me rephrase. I was exaggerating when I said half life. I think it's good for anticipating a big blow, so that right after the target is hit and brought down to half life, the spell will be done channeling and should bring it back to full.

    Anyways, I'll keep what you said in mind.

    For Wellspring... it's true. But 3 seconds means two hits from a single mob. If there's 2-3 mobs on your tank.... he will die (if he's not far above the level of the dungeon). Especially when the mobs use magic attacks. AoE heal has a long channeling time too (btw it's good after weaker AoEs). Sad, but when several squad members are in danger and you are the only healer, you have often no other choice than let them die and keep the tank alive to prevent squad wipe.

    No offense of course. These are just side notes.

    No offense taken. I consider everyone's words.

    my iron heart has saved me (and team mates, it sucks when im only cleric, i get tired watching every1's healthb:victory) mines now lvl 10, before i sucked at taking town close range melee mobs, but now i can take them down easily, if u dont count my mana drainage. i hardly use my wellspring, blessing of the purehearted, or any other heals

    there's 3 heals you need, everything else can be left at 1.

    ironheart, wellspring, rejuvenation aura.

    after you've gotten those, you can ignore the healing tree all together.

    Only use for Blessing of Pureheart is to build chi before engaging when there's no one around to carry me, which is why I keep it at lvl 1. Other than that, what Forp said.

    The secret behind Purehearted lvl10 is that you can use it as an "improvised charm thick" for tank on a long run boss, where you don't really "spam" the heals, and keep the tank alive (and add to it -chen or RB, then in really works like a charm)
