That's in reference to rushing, when nobody is really attacking anything. It needs to be reiterated though that mages should spam heal during boss fights, especially Overlord. When I'm playing my bird fighting OL, it's difficult to focus on using my skills and breaking his shield, if I have to constantly spam health pots at the same time just to stay alive. It is much, much easier if there's a mage or two spamming their heals.
Agreed. One strategy that works well is for the mages to rush in first with mana shields, debuff and AOE the low level stuff. Then the birds and bears come in targeting the main mobs while the mages sit back a little and just heal, buff, and debuff. Once aggro is on the bears / birds, the mages can resume AOE while spamming heals. Even though mages can do more AOE damage, it's more beneficial to keep the entire group alive than to have the mages take aggro and die. Easily cleared AO2 where I was the only mage in a group of all birds with this technique.
Omni!!!!! Spot on. This is where players need to learn there support role and skills.... A++++++++

Can't lie, I'm a total newbie to MMORPG, this being my first, but from the start I've tried to constantly keep anyone in my party healed when I can. Teamwork ftw!
... This might become a problem of this forum gets popular.
Have any of u heard blaque?
Well I enjoy mages for there healing also one of the main reasons i like them just revive n heal, strangely awesome fun.
i dont think the forum will be THAT popular..RS has 61 active members on their forum right now
But only if your a lvl 50 - I was playing earlier in crush the keeper with 4 50s (who remarkably didn't boot me on entry). we played through to the keepers room with leading many charges and reviving a few of them along the way. halfway through the battle with the keeper I was assaulted from behind and die. at which point I was booted "no noobs".
thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread :
I'm just wondering what lvl were you because I don't think half the people plays games know what noon means. I don't mind lows only of they don't leech I hate when I go in low dungeons and everyone leeches.
Its really easy to use ur combos and spam heal at the same time. Just spam heal and during heals cool down time (which is more then enough time) do your combos, that way u can constintly heal ur party and do dmg too ^^

Sorry, but if you are worried about healing attracting aggro. Then I would boot you from my party.
1.) Mages should ALWAYS heal, especially in ao3.
2.) If you are complaining about aggro from healing, then obviously your not a good mage (sorry don't mean to flame but its true). Because common mages attract a hell of a lot of aggro from the AoE spam.
This isnt really directed towards anyone but mages in general.
Completely agree. Also, heal attracts a lot less aggro than AOE skills. In AO3 against bosses I find I spend more time healing, buffing and debuffing than I do spamming AOE skills. AOE skills are great for combos against multiple mobs but against a boss it's better to let the birds and bears go to work and keep them alive.
