Why don't clerics carry healing wands?

[Burtle]

Why is it when a cleric runs out of sp their job is done for the day? Why can't they carry wands and keep on healing?

Stupid question.... period, so..u dear op, deserve this:

Ah, the endless debate. Let me break it down for you again...

Because wands cost money.

If my healer runs out of mana because you are taking too much damage, feel free to hand me a mana pot and I will continue to heal.

I have plenty of SP to do the job in most cases. If a quest legitimately requires more, people will give the healer pots to replenish their SP. When this is the case (which, like I said, is rare) the healer will use pots given to them as well as some of their own to keep things going.

There is no way people should expect healers to spend tons of money to make the quest succeed while everyone else gets to go through free.

Why don't you carry potions and wands of all kinds either use the potions yourself, or give the wands to the cleric?

Rangers can use Cure Wands.

Paladins can use Cure Wands

Bards can use Cure Wands.

All at level 1 too!

True, seeing as your new, tell me something. How much does it **** you off when you see a devotion item, spell penetration item, or a potency item you have been looking for at a cheap price and you can't afford it because you bought wands? Or worse, that fighter/barb/whatever pulls it in the chest and never bothers to ask if you want it or keeps it because "I need plat to repair my gear, I died too much"?

All toons need to buy armor, weapons, helms, rings, boots, etc. Don't let them fool you.

If you needed that item in the chest, you should have asked. If you ask me after I pull it, I'll still give it to you, unless I need it, or it's bound.

The last quest I ran that I had a decent amount of wands in my backpack... well, I ended up outta mana and used all of my wands. I have not bought a wand since then and tell all that I group with that if I can't see you, I can't heal. If you can't help me keep you healed, then I can't help myself from not healing you.

I've had nice toons give plat, mana pots, and wands to me and believe it or not, that is greatly appreciated. Especially when I have a mid level character stop me before the end fight, open trade and hand over 10000pp. He said because he would be harder to heal during the last fight and that I had been spamming mana on him since the beginning.

Made my cleric's day. I stocked up on wands and added that guy to my friend's list.

Maybe it depends on what kind of spells the cleric in question had casted. all on healing....a bit frustrating no?

Why can't they carry wands and keep on healing?

Maybe the cleric in question was waiting that someone of the party memeber can give one to him. or maybe the cleric in question was just so ingenuouse on thinking the party memebers have some healing pots, you know the kind of easily buying equipments that a so called adventurer have to keep when going into a quest.
Or maybe the cleric in question had previously meet some similar "Adventurers" that had good use of all his wands during a quest and now that cleric have no money to buy a new stock of wands.

I presume there are a lot of reasons in answer of your question young adventurer, almost 4 years agò a wise adventurer told me to keep faith in party members but also to be able to face every challenge, so pots, wands and clikyes are all there to be taken advantage of them.

Because you didn't give them one, ya cheapskate.

I play pally. I traded the cleric 2 mod wands in the middle of the quest because I was tired of being the main healer. She took my wands, did not give them back, and informed me, "lol, I don't use these!" It was one of those dungeons with only 1 shrine and I was only tank. I just wanted her to heal while I was fighting (the others I wasn't taking damage).

If as a cleric you find the cost of healing is to much for you then do something else. I also play cleric and my money and responcibility as a healer is keeping my team alive.

Most of you make me sad but I'm happy for the few who give all to thier duty.
