I guess healers have changed a bit since I played one years back, but they can't have changed THAT much. Anyway, I found being a healer to be almost like being invulnerable. I used to say I never died unless I let myself be killed (except to a certain lich but that's another story). You get all the best defence stuff, tons of mana as an elf, a good amount a hitpoints. I even found that, with the proper equipment which was fairly easily obtained, I could do a lot of damage too. You also have the advantage of the gate supplication (I think, unless they did away with that) which can't be beaten for exploring/traveling purposes. Sanctify room to get you out of those nasty no recall rooms. Hehe, I'm getting all nostalgic. Maybe I should play another healer myself. (=
