> Ok, we are not stupid. The immortal are discouraging dam eq healers because they are rather powerful. This is why they give +save, to try to balance it out. The idea that you guys actualy buy the idea that wearing dam eq as a healer is bad RP is sad. How about a necro wearing an ave 29 sword? Should he lose his spells because he's wearing a big weapon? I mean, come on, he's supposed to fight with his spells, right? Is a warrior who wears alot of +HP gear a bad warrior and should he lose his spec s because he opted for the Naktin-Rah pendant and not the spiked collar?
> Anyone should be able to wear anything he deems fit to keep him alive the longest. If the immortals think it's overpowered, then just give healers hand to hand, since you obviously don't think they have any reason to swing a weapon, and if they do, they should go out of their way to have it do as little damage as possible.

> I have never played a healer, nor do I plan to, so I am not biased. It remimnds me that until air forms, an independant could kill anyone he damn well pleased (remember how everyone defends an overpowered cabal because independants have no restrictions?). Well, Air major came around and people started getting their wings clipped for over-killing. If a class is overpowered, fix it, stop trying to put band-aids on them.
