Maybe it is just me, but my shaman is starting to suck around level 20. It takes an age to kill anything in PvE and my heals no longer cut it in the tier 3 PvP bracket. Currently anything can both out damage my heals and it would seem in the case of tanks, out heal my damage (apparently they get healing shout). A level 20 warrior priest (I am 22) absolutely smashes me - they have instant attacks and fast, fast heals. I only have a couple of instant DoTs and once instant HoT. It isn’t enough.

Pretty craptacular and with the general exponential increase in levelling time and piddly amount of xp dolled out for quests, kills… basically everything I don’t see it getting any better any time soon.

If you click on the shield to the left of the minimap you can bring up all the scenario groups, but it always puts them on the upper left, on top of each other! I’ve tried using the ui customizer function to move the bars but I’ve moved everything around and can’t seem to move those bars.

I really like the defensive target concept, but I agree that I would also like the ability to target an offensive target simply by casting a damage spell on my defensive target. Target of target would be a nice feature.

Also would love to see an add-on that allows me to lock my defensive target since it seems to get dropped very easily.

“Defensive target” is a great addition that helps the healer, although the PQ boss situation is often taken care of by standard target forwarding. In both City of Heores and The Lord of the Rings Online™ Volume 1: Shadows of Angmar™, you can target the tank to heal and attack through him to his target. At least in the latter, you can target the big boss and heal through it to its target.

Is there a way to convert the scenario party list to something more like the warband list? I can only see the hit points of my group, when I would like to see both. I rarely take time to fiddle with the UI mid-scenario.

The Dark Elf Disciple of Kaine is somewhat similar, although you melee dps, and I think have lower healing power (I have one insta HoT, one short cast HoT, the moral big heal, and a melee combo/heal move that is rather powerful and uses no action points)

The enemy/friend targeting system is what really makes playing a healer fun. You can have your tank selected, the PQ hero boss selected, and be doing the melee combo/heal and it works like a charm. Love it. Good for the ‘hit and buff’ moves as well.

DoK/WE duo that the gf and I are currently playing is a rather nasty combo, especially in scenarios.
