    Default A balanced MMORPG with a fair balance to healers/support classes

    hey,

    i know i saw a post around here earlier, a week or so ago, about this, but it didnt really have what i was looking for, so maybe someone here can help.


    i enjoy playing a healer, and am looking for a good MMORPG (F2P or P2P) that requires a healer, to advance through the game.

    so certain things as follows will rule out certain mmorpgs :

    1-10 sec cooldown hp pots
    sitdown for very fast hp regain
    duel classes so you can be warrior and healer >.>

    ok apart from that, i would like the party system to be fair for example :

    4 members in a party = 25% of total exp to each

    instead of melle getting all the exp because they are hitting the mobs, and healers getting like 5-10% of total exp. And we are keeping them alive all the time.

    games ive tried:

    ~~~~~~~~~~~
    Elan Online : Loved it 100%, but not many people play at all T_T.

    Lunia : the graphics put me off, and after playing elan, couldnt stick to lunia.

    Fiesta Online : clerics with maces... , and the skills were not good either >.<

    RF Online : eeew, i dont like RF.

    2moons : Q: Is segnal any good? i got to lvl 15, not sure if its worth carrying on. (wasnt my taste anyway)

    Domo : loved it, but then i found out about the duel class thing, put me 100% off, now warriors will have buff skills etc... leaving doctors pritty much useless.. great >.>

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    please dont mention the following :

    FlyFF
    Maplestory
    Nostale
    Ghost Online


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    ^.^ waiting for your replies


    Ciao'z

    Try perfect world. The pots are crappy, and you need clerics for dungeons and stuff. I've never tried sitting in that game though.

    i was thinking of becoming a Doctor/Dancer, but its just not fair that some classes wont require healers at all, just because they can acquire pritty much the same stuff >.< , i dont like fighting, i like supporting..

    I think healers get a pretty good deal in FLYFF. I didn't play for very long but it seemed that as you get further on, priests are super important.

    I know in the Silkroad expansion aka Europe

    Clerics are pretty important, and you can double class(though youll be at a disadvantage)

    Europe characters have a 30 sec pot delay, but you get like 3 heals so you never need pots beyond the mana ones ^^

    Cleric do have to be protected since we cant really take much damage before we fall

    Clerics in Silkroad can buff, revive, heal, temp invincibility, and fight alittle (has about 1/4th of the power of a full powered mage ^^)
    And I can tell you that if you do go to be a cleric on silkroad, you will sometimes get paid if there lazy, or turn on item share and everyone gets drops randomly (like if someone in the party picks it up, you might get it or not)
    The new europe area is also a team based thing so everyones class is needed for an effective class. And clerics are kind hard to come by so it should be easy for you to get a really good party





    I also like being a healer class in most games.
    If you do decide on silkroad I could point you to my server and help you abit lol

    I highly recommend WoW.
    I've been a healer (Paladin) in the game, since near its' inception, and it's a very important, fun role to fill.

    Well, if you were able to read, you'd have seen that in his post, he specifies lack of concern for whether the game is P2P, or F2P.

    The fact that you dislike WoW is very flattering, but that's not the topic of discussion, so please refrain from derailing the thread.

    Im not derailing the thread, Im just saying that if he posted it in the FREE MMORPG forums he probably dont want one he has to pay for

    Sorry for getting off topic

    I'd also recommend Final Fantasy XI, as a healer.
    Progress through the game as a healing class isn't nearly as difficult as it may be with another, because they're very desirable; and play a crucial role in the game's lengthy grind.

    It's a very 'civilized' MMORPG with a great community, and endgame encounters are very organized, where all the basic class archetypes play an equal role in taking down a boss.

    Overall, you've likely heard that it's a more difficult game, when compared to others, such as WoW (though, some of endgame is significantly easier-- or, at least, "well-balanced")... I think it's definitely worth looking into, and can be a very fun, rewarding experience.

    Being a long-time (since '03) player, I'm always looking to help newbies out in FFXI, so if you decide to play, drop me a PM.

    Perfect World will be coming out in English within this month, and IMO its a must play game, even just to try.

    Healers and DEFINATELY needed in FB (Dungeons) and are always wanted.

    Not only that, but Healers get their own Branch of Attack magic w/o Damaging their ability to Heal/Buff so they can level Solo pretty darn well ^^

    From what I recall. Shadowbane's healers were fun to play. Templar I think it was.

    If you want to p2p Warcraft's Resto Druid or Resto Shaman are fun. Cleric in EQ1 is also very fun.
