Yet another FvS spell selection thread…

[Tobril]

So I’ve decided to assist with the lack of raid/epic healer situation by getting a FvS up to snuff.

As such I’m working on the best all-around list that can handle most epics/raids. (maybe a little questing/farming as well)

Based on recent experiences I want all three raise options. (the need to save abbot-gone-awry or other mass wipes has been pretty common)
At least 3 mass cure timers seems like a necessity as well. (epic DQ)

Any input from experienced elite/epic raid healers would be appreciated.


Basic build concept is a 20 WF FvS, dumped WIS, Lord of Blades, hate-tank if needed.

Observations based on field testing...

I try to keep the amrath belts running, but if there is a gap I have a always-on superior potency 6 item equipped which makes MCLW/MCMW pretty decent "quick fixes" when mass heal will either be too late, I'm worried about being tripped, etc.

Many of the low level spells never get cast, but all the questionable looking things in the 1-4 range see use on a regular enough basis that they are included.

There really isn't all that much useful in that range.

The two big-kid res options are the only ones I think are worth using. Bringing people back to "omg I'm almost dead again" range isn't a good plan.

UPDATE...Here is the current list I'm running with and changes for U9...

1st
Divine Favour
Remove Fear
Nightshield
Obscuring Mist

2nd
Resist Energy
Lesser Restore
Summon II
Eagle Splendor

3rd
Magic Circle
Prayer
Searing Light
Remove Curse

4th
Divine Power
Freedom
Recitation
Neutralize Poison (this will likely be replaced with CCW due to the reduced cost in U9, people can learn to carry potions dag-nabbit)

5th
MCLW (much cheaper U9)
Break Enchantment (used to remove curses from lazy people)
True Seeing (unless something important comes along to require SR this will stay, otherwise it will be scrolled)
SR (U9 this will be replaced with the new light based DOT)

6th
Heal
BB
MCMW (much cheaper U9)

7th
Mass Protection
Resurrection
MCSW

8th
Holy Aura
Mass DW
Summon VIII

9th
Mass Heal
True Resurrection
Enervation
