You either take my advice, or you don't. No sweat off my back, but let's just say... I'm right, and I KNOW I'm right, whereas you think you're right.

> Why get 60hp when you can get 200hp from the same amount of trains? (rejuvinate)

In ranking situations, you will never be in desperate need of mana for rejuvenates, if you are intelligent. In PK situations, you will almost never run out of mana. Your health will go far, far more quickly than your mana. Wait until you face that first rager with flurry and deathblow. There you sit spamming co reju, but your base health just isn't enough to survive the first few rounds. So, you end up dead. But, on the plus side, you've still got 1200 mana left!

> What else is there to do as a healer?

A lot. A healer can be the greatest support character there is. He can also be a force on his own. It's up to you to find out how.

> As a gnome, you can get a train every other level, in addition to the ones every five. That comes out to around 300hp total. Now as for 'far more vital than extra mana', 300 mana can get you almost 5 rejuvinates, which is over 800hp. Thats over 500hp difference. (I know the math isn't exact, but its close enough)

Sure, all true. I'll take those 300 hit points over 5 rejuvenates any day of the week. Any. Any.

> Of course you can nap and healing sleep, thats when mana doesn't matter. If you have time, anyone can get mana back easy. Its the times when you're in the heat of things, when you don't have time to rest when the extra mana comes into play.

Yes I'm aware of this. Consider this. You get blackjacked. Your sanc falls. One backstab and you're dead, or tripped to death if fly falls. Mana... meaningless. Same goes for sleep.

> I'd like to hear your reasons why. In under 10 pages preferably.

Those are a few reasons. They're enough. Trust me.
