Tips to help EQ2 healer

There are some points we should pay attention to when playing a Priest/Druid in Everquest2, which make us live long and win the battle in Everquest2.
1) Do not run away. You have to keep fighting even though you are down to 10% of health. This is to ensure yourself In the range of your healer. They then have the mob chase them with me chasing the lot trying to get off a healing spell. According to the statistics, 90% of the players who run out of the healer’s range died. The spell fizzles or a baddie interrupts the caster or (many times had this one happen) the spell goes off literally 1-2 seconds too late and the warrior dies. At least you need to stand nearby your group.

2) Do not Revive yourself when you die. It is very annoying when a Itgroup member does this and everyone has to wait for them to run back to them. Most healers can Revive fallen party members. You may have to wait 10 minutes but generally better to do that than Revive yourself. At the very least ask in Group Chat what to do before doing it. In a dungeon (Blackburrow) I find there are other groups who will Revive you as they come across your corpse and you usually don't have to wait too long.

3) Protect your healers! If your healer dies chances are you will die too. Certainly the healer in that situation won't be healing anyone but themselves leaving the tanks uncovered. Do what you can to help get the mob off the healer.

4) Healers need to work better together. If there is more than one healer in a group they need to work in tandem rather than as individuals. Many times some warrior gets two heavy healing spells laid on him nearly at once which (usually) mostly wastes the effect of one of the spells. If they are the same healing class, they will need to coordinate who will be responsible for which things.

5) Healers need to remember to give all other party members a token to Revive the healer if the healer dies. Occasionally I have forgotten to do this and it stunk when I died and no one could bring me back. To everyone else DO NOT toss that token once given! Yes, you really want an empty slot to haul that one more piece of loot but learn to live with it. Once the group is over go ahead and toss the token.

6) Carry decent food and drink. This is just a general tip for playing in general. It helps to increase your health and mana regen, as well as boosting some stats. Sometimes it makes the difference between repair costs or continuing to smoosh things.

7) If you aren't tanking, don't get aggro. At other times, try not to draw aggro. Also, make sure you assist the tank or your group's designated assist. This keeps everyone on the same targets and helps to keep down the number of people the healer has to worry about
