Heal self , not other
#59094 - 05/20/08 11:47 PM

Hi,

I'm interested to see if people are using the Heal self, Not Other skill (which had me in a fit of laughter when I first saw it )

I'm using it with my Poison Knight to save on potions, but it is realy tricky to use in combat, even when timed with various knockdown/knockback skills (especially when you are copping ranged attacks as well).

I'm starting to wonder if the skill is worth it, considering that one can only safely use it out of combat. I'm seriously thinking of ditching the skill and replacing it with something else, and just wait for out of combat regen.

As one takes more ranks does Heal Self, Not Other slowly become immune to interruption? (I'm assuming not)

I think this skill is generally useless outside of PvP, where potions are not allowed. Yes, I personally think you should ditch it.

Yes, the health and mana healing spells are designed for PvP use.

But it's only useable every 80 seconds, and a pot does the same thing at your leisure, and surely there's something that can fill that skill slot that would be more useful.

Usually you need to chug pots most during combat. And during combat, you can't use Heal or Regen. Therefore, the only real use of Heal and Regen in PvE is to allow you to recover faster after a battle: which really, you can do by using pots, or by waiting a few seconds. The spells may be useful at lower levels when you have nothing else to put in your skillbar: but I seem to remember that they were rather expensive, so it might be a better idea to save up on more useful skills instead.

Speaking of potions, the lower your level is, the cheaper they cost. Has anyone noticed that?
