Why healing?

[shadywack]

Combined with an archer's rooting spells my mage does enormous amounts of damage. Far more than the bear can do. If there's no archer present I'm usually the main death dealer while the bear is a distraction. With nightmare, weaken, and lightning I almost double the effectiveness of an archer too.

Healing is almost a back seat. Really I just use it to keep the meatshields/bears alive so that my mana doesn't drain so fast.

Sigh. You can focus on healing, AND focus on damage. It's not like they only giv you 10 skill points. And once you get to the alien oasis campaigns, you will need a quick heal. Unless you want to die instantly.

Healing is so easy that it never becomes a true focus. Plus, people should be popping potions as well to help out.

besides heal and mana, what potions are you referring to?
I thought the extra potions (besides those 2) you buy were not able to be saved.

The 'distraction' is what is keeping you alive, so be nice and keep it alive.
