Morgana Wrote:At least one bishop in the seduce party should be spamming heal at all times, even when no one is seduced, so that the main seduce will get healed right after HB if dispelled, and in case the seduce symbol lags (as it often does). Seriously, spamming heal has been covered by my own MP regen since I was a priest, so why not? Especially at HT, when things happen fast and you might lag.
This is just my personal feeling, that's all. I feel a truly experienced Bishop doesn't have a need to spam heal. The main seduce shouldn't die after dispel anyway... at least I've never seen such a thing. And it's not even about saving the MP... I'm sure most people disagree but I just don't like seeing somebody spam heal the whole time. In my eyes, that's a sign of a lack of mastery in gameplay.
In the 15 person HT runs I've been attending, no Bishop spams heal. I've been Seduce Bishop before and I've gotten by without Heal spam.
Same for Zak, why on earth do so many Bishops spam heal when there's nothing to heal? Overall, it's silly and embarrassing to witness in all cases.
It's not just about healing and buffing, you need to be able to accommodate everybody in your party as well. If the DrK in your party says no heal, then what? And I always seem to be in a Zerking DrK's party... And when I am in the Seduce party, the other members besides Seduce Mule and myself are attackers. You need to ensure to buff the attackers (who may be attacking up top; no Mob Control btw although another Bishop may assist) while attending to the Seduce Mule.
Perhaps HornTail is done differently in other servers?
Other than this, Bishops do not require much skill and I love any opportunity to test my abilities as a Bishop.
