i want to know if make an aeore healer as dark elf really worth it?
the casting speed is a problem healing in massive pvp? or there isn't so much difference with ligh elves casting speed?
and in olys, i think the racial skill it's so good in a bad time when your are about 1000 hp to die, and you just be untargetable and heal 100%... i guess that way. :P
in fact, i'd like to make a dark elf aeore healer and i don't know if you still recibing the stone of destiny but, i loved storm screamers but not too much feoh wizards.
i'm afraid to be dismissed because i'm not an ELF so the party could take a better healer than a dark elf... anyway.. i don't know :rolleyes:
it's a good healer in raidboss/massivePVP? and dungeons?
I think that depends on the way you play, im human aeore and i have no problem finding partys to exp or do dailys, gess ppl dosent care too much.
I was worried for my 85% ress exp, but its fixed since i have now +3 wit dyes so, humans are good (or even better) healing if u know how to play on it. :p

And what exactly makes the human BETTER to heal with? Why should someone pick the human race over any other? Because they really dont have anything good for racial skills for a healer.
Thats like saying "You dont need acumen on your weapon, just use whatever" and then saying, "I do just fine with acumen".
A dark elf will NEED WIT dyes if you wanna pvp. A light elf can get away not using them.
Well, I was fine without them too. But I chose to put them on for completely different reasons. They just happen to be fine even for pvp.

in the glory days patch we will see the diferences for sure, human has been since allways the main healer of all the classes.

maybe before the introduction of pomanders and such, but now I dont feel I'm kinda low in comparison with any human aeore (and I play DE by nature). with +6 wit, I'm having 1800+ casting with sonatas and capped casting speed with frantic healing, my debuffs land often at first time (in pve situations), and almost at 2nd try in pvp (if not at 1st) and do often criticals with healing skills.
in fair scaled pvp (like 1vs1 at equal level range), I dont mind engagin, since I can do fine, and at CoC, almost I can survive and kill enough to make some noise.
Darkelves are excellent in any class.
You can't go wrong with them.
You can say that about every race, you cant go wrong with them, just that some are better for different classes. D.Elf is an offensive race, I like to play defensive healer, I don't want to lower my defensive stats like men/con and even wit for int/str/dex and stats I don't really need on a healer. While Disparition is a great d.elf racial, making you unable to be targeted, even yourself, doesn't mean you are immune to damage, never underestimate human Unbind racial skill. A human still has slightly higher stats that I'm interested on a healer class so I really don't know why people you place d.elf above human race for a healer when its the other way around.

thats what i was trying to say. But ur english is way better than mine, thank you!
Should I babble half coherently and you say my english is better than yours Tif?
It would surely make more sense than saying that Disparition is less useful than Unbind, and not saying which stats are optimal for a healer, a class that can be played both offensively and defensively.
Now I'm curious about which stats make Human healers better than Elven healers.
This is about d.elfs vs human. Of course elves are better, see the amount of crit heal they have.
Still not sold on humans.

Maybe you should babble something about what makes d.elf healers better than the other races.
Anyway, I guess with the new big update incoming, there wont be possible anymore to go other race classes on main. I didn't read about but makes sense to automatically awake as shilien saint aeore or cardinal aeore and so on, from those specific 3rd classes.

Oh, I know... I was talking about Elven healers as a mean to cite both Dark and Light elves. They're races steamed from the same roots...
I've yet to see a convincing argument about human healers being better than their dark elven counterparts. Sounds better now?

Well, for instance, Disparition... Healers have Dissolve as a target-cancel skill, but Disparition has practically the same effect. Let one expire, pop the other one.
Not to mention that thanks to their high m.atk, in solo pvp they can perform better. Oh by the way, magical critical rate isn't really an issue, I crit pretty often with my heals and I'm a Dark Elf ;)
Aside from that Disparition, which I said before that it isnt exactly the greatest skill imo, I have yet to see what else makes DE better. You said high m.atk, how high exactly because if you think the difference between 15k or whatever number has a D.Elf in heavy and someone with like 2k lower m.atk is a big changing game, it isnt. We all know the difference is very very small when you have such amount of m.atk, its because of the square root of the m.atk. It might have decent amount of crit, I can compare to my sub since it has one more wit than your d.elf but you havent seen the elves crits, I made one elf healer from scratch and it doesnt even compare. Anyway, I think those active racial skills are going to be removed when the new update comes and everyone will be able to pick whatever they want from a new set of skills. I also think there wont be possible anymore to be elf or d.elf cardinal for example so if someone prefer a d.elf more than the other races, now is the time to make your class as you want it. Personal preference, d.elfs were always the stun magnet race, has slightly lower defensive stats than other races but its not that big game change, especially if you have the money to buy all the stats items and definitely I don't see anything that puts them above humans with just basic stats, to make me pick d.elfs over humans, except maybe aesthetics?! That would probably be the only reason I'd choose d.elfs over humans but still, I made my long time d.elf healer an iss and decided to use other race for a main healer.
If it helps you cope with dark elves a bit more, I can assure you I dont get stunned very often.
I would only go light elf if I wanted to save some adena on WIT tattoos.
I dont think light elf or humans have better racial skills than dark elf, and initial stats are kinda pointless unless they are super low.
If anything, the runner up to dark elf healer is the orc one.
I didnt say that elfs or humans racials are better just that d.elf one is that OP compared to human one for example. You can further increase WIT on elf and that not for the cast speed. Orc has a great racial too, good defensive stats just that it has lower WIT so I guess you make this healer just for pure group support only, not offensive healer. The thing is, every other race than d.elfs kinda have better stats and d.elf racial wont mean anything in a few months.
For the record, INT helps with debuff landing, along with...uhm...magical accuracy? I know there's some complicated formula involving those stats.
For the record, from all tests I've seen over the years, none proved me that m.atk actually has any influence in landing rate so no, INT doesnt help. There are way more conclusive tests that prove WIT helps on landing rate and targets MEN also helps in resisting debuffs. Magic accuracy alone isnt for land rate, is to help spells to not fail, indirectly affecting the land rate if spells miss but its not calculated in landing process after you don't miss the spell. There are also important things like basic land rate, mental attack passives/jewelry and target resist debuffs/passives/jewelry/whatever besides WIT/MEN but INT has no role in it.

Why wouldnt the dark elf racial mean anything? You dont think a dark elf healer would enjoy not being targetable for a few seconds? Do you even pvp?
I guess if dark elf had such bad stats for healer in pvp, I should die alot. Funny thing is I dont. And I do enjoy popping Disparition every now and then also. And I have never been in a situation where the human racial active skill would have mattered...
lol, alright then, if you think removing stun and making you immune for 10 sec doesn't matter but the other one is best ever, 5 sec unable of being targeted, by mobs perhaps because plenty of classes have AoE skills w/o target and pvp last way more than 5 sec, I guess its personal choice because I don't see a strong argument in there. Enjoy it while you have it I guess, it wont be there for much longer.

Not getting stunned much, maybe I have better stun resist than you, but I doubt it.
I do have more than 1 person beating on me in pvp, alot more actually. And having them all being unable to target me for a few helps alot.
Enjoy your pve out of stun skill, at some point you will probably start pvping and realize just how bad it is compared to Disparition.

maybe you will realize some day how disparition never save you from classes with aoe, which makes disparition mostly good in pve and overrated in pvp.
I do think the racial skill from d.elf does make it attempting but nonetheless it's not correct to put down other race just by that racial skill. There's a reason why the developers gave them such a skill. I play human healer and I do think it's very balance and love it. The desperation skill is quite useful for the 5 secs length but it is true that AoEs will still be able to hit it just like the Stone Transformation from ISS. Only Bot Pvpers with auto assist are gonna fall for it, for knowledgeable pvpers, that skill doesn't really have the upper-hand except canceling the debuffs. As for the pvp of d.elf, Matk is sure a good plus on it but it's lacking in cast speed. Yes, the major heals for healers are not cast dependent but they are not spammable. Slower cast makes it easier to be cancel like when use group heal or even in solo pvp. E.g. delf vs human or light elf healer, one with faster cast who use dark force would have cancel whatever skill the d.elf use and this cast speed/debuff is critical especially in class base oly. I'm not trying to put down any race/class but just want to have some input oh what ppl here have been saying about the d.elf. I will not say anything about the human healers as that's another whole essay, too much to write. In all, everyone have their own views on pvp/pve about which stats they wanna aim for and i'm sure each player is aware of their own weakness and would of think of ways to reduce that weakness. I solely pick human just for the appearance and learn to play and adapt with it's strength and weakness.
