The KGB Oracle Forums The KGB Great Hall of History (ARCHIVE) KGB ArcheAge Faction Planning Is Songcraft necessary for Healing Specced Class?

Tonight during the underwater boss there was a call out for more healers. I am debating switching from my MDPS Hex Warden to a more healer orientated class. However, I have trouble due to my computer latency with timing songcraft and other skills in between. So I am asking if
1. Is songcraft necessary and
2. If it is what ability/abilities should I be trying to weave in between perform skills. and
3. If not besides Auramancy what is a suggested class.(for example: I heard tonight Stealth takes you out of combat so you can resurrect)

Thanks

Check the dungeon guide and look at the cleric.

Healer builds are min/max by situation/application as is all the other major Archtypes.

For world PvP, I like the Templar.

For Dungeon/PvE, I like the Cleric.

The Oliphant is a good Main Healer but their survivability can be tough in both PvE and PvP situations b/c you have to really be on your timers to make sure you are getting healed as well as the MT/OT and DPS/Support.

Templar do shit for damage, but they are mega turtle tanks and have a decent degree of utility beyond just healing. Of the three, they have the least burst healing but the highest survivability.

Cleric is the super squishy, high utility, good burst healing option. Positioning and support are important to the Cleric to increase survivability. The Cleric is going to rely partially on the rest of the group/raid to ensure they stay up and bombing out anti-cc, cleanses and healing.

Also the gear/stat requirements are different for the builds so you might consider what you have now and how it fits into a new Archetype to reduce the time sink to get a new set of gear together.

Thanks for the info. Going to try soothsayer for a bit to see if it fits my style of play(with added healing)

On a different question that is way off topic. My wife is complaining about the clicking sounds of my keyboard when she is trying to sleep. Thinking of getting a new laptop under 1k and I saw this

suggestions please ,and thanks for your guys help.

BTW here is where I got some information regarding healing
