How bad Do I need a healer?

[Suffero]

After following shades build, for dwarf. and hearing I'm always going to need a healer eh,

Me and my friends play when were all on, I'm a barbarian, my friends a ranger/rogue
and my other friends a fighter, I'm trying to convince him to make a battle cleric.
If he doesn't make a battle cleric am I gonna not do so good with survivability?

you can buy a level 5 cleric for about 625 gold

she will heal you

she & i duoed gwylans norm last night with my level 7 frenzied berzerker

when you play a frenzied berzerker you are going to need to be healed

Yup that is what I use my collectables money for. Kendra in tow just keep her clicked on shields so she isnt doing something dumb with her mana (I first started with a wizard thinking I would get more bang for the buck with heals being a WF...that was a disaster as I clicked the crossed swords which apparently was the order for him to lubricate the dungeon with grease! )

If I have a battle cleric friend will that keep me alive?
And whats the definition of "Frenzied beserker" I'm not sure what kind of barbarian shades build is, but its a dps one.

And hmm, I wonder if dieing fast will be annoying?
Oh well, guess i'll try it out.

she left the cubby ran into the room & got crushed by some shaman & archers

frenzied berzerker is the highest dps in the game right now

as i stated you will need to healed by either a player or hireling in level-appropriate content or spend a lot of cash/plat on potions

i do a little of both

your friend would be better off playing something other than a battle cleric as a new player

additionally, while running with a frenzied berzerker, your friend's dps will never keep up so he should just heal you
