knock - can we get this spell bought for Wynn (now thats its a buyable scroll).
Suggest splitting the costs as this is a party / utility spell if ever there was
one! If its not that expensive then maybe not bother? I just think we all need
to get into the idea that sooooooooon some of Wynn's spell components will get
SILLY expensive (see stoneskin) and we should all be ready to chip in. Mine
don't so I'm happy to just keep buying them myself.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

me. Is there anyone being particularly stung? By what?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>Healing pots. Nobody should be going into an instance of duration "long"
or "very long" without at least 10 (yes I said 10) pots of
<STRONG>cure serious wounds</STRONG>. Especially the melee combatants. All
the hold / stun / trip effects have been souped in recent patches and I'm very
aware that some of ye are brutal about healing yourselves - tbh sometimes I
question if you even know you're even taking damage. As a rule of thumb, if you
hit 50% health and I'm not on the ball with healing then a few things could be
happening:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=343055310-17082006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>- You
are out of sight ..... Odile in particular makes it difficult on the Cleric,
Annabelle/Carbury are probably a close second. Wynn and Alannon rarely
present a problem to me; usually because as fellow "stand back" folks they are
normally near me anyway. I'm not having a go - I just think the melee combatants
need to be more aware of their surroundings regarding receiving heals. Split
level areas probably give the most hassle for me to get line of sight. If I
don't get a heal on you because you are out of LOS then not only are you not
getting healed but you are also slowing down the healing chain ie the next
person getting healed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

There are several of you going down at once .... my spells all have a cooldown
(not sure ye know this?), the bigger the healing spell the longer the cooldown.
This means in a big scrap the second / third heals get progressivly slower or
weaker ..... </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Nobody ever protects the healer in this game ...... I mostly don't need it, but
our party always seems to be running around like headless chickens without a
strategy in mind. I general I think Wynn and I as casters need to be protected.
Wynn takes big damage quickly as clothy, its not so bad for me. But even If I'm
not taking big damage I could still be taking spell interruption - which
(because its healing) means one of you is going down! </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

fully charged CLW wand per long instance and half CMW wand per instance. I don't
mind buying CLW wands cos they're cheap - but they are also now completely
useless as in combat wands. CMW are just about effective in a
scrap.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Vitality - at the moment this is the mana battery for Wynn (mostly). I think
soon I will be dropping it in favour of "Divine Healing: <FONT
face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3>Activate this ability to give
another character healing that persists over several seconds.Consumes a use of
turn undead for the day.</FONT>" Still thinking about this one TBH .... the mana
battery is very handy too!!! But if the party doesn't get better at quaffing
pots I'm gonna have to go this route to spread the load for big
scraps.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
