Please tell me there will be less healers soon...

Wouldn't even bother with stone I, actually, unless you are chain pulling or pulling things 3+ levels higher (or they have a bunch of red zone attacks, like treeants). OOC regen is high enough so that you will heal back most/all of your damage taken even if the mob gets to you a half second sooner.

I usually go Thunder>Aero>Stone II forevers.

Yep. I would say that until the late 30s, the two GCDs spent on thunder and aero were not worth it, either -- and neither was Stone, since even ~2-3 mobs (weaker ones spawned from a quest, not two full-strength mobs at the same time) beating on me wouldn't be able to do significant damage until they were dead. So it was Stone II * infinity and Fluid Aura to interrupt something and keep one of the mobs unable to hit me until it died... that's it. Maybe I'd throw on a regen when fighting a +3 or +4 mob for a hunting log -- in that case I'd actually use Stone and Aero too, but those situations were very rare.

In my experience, arcanist was much more 'efficient and dynamic' even when playing up to level 15 using only the few skills they start with. Dot up multiple enemies and kite them around, stay on the move while tossing out a few nukes here or there, manage aetherflow stacks to burst down mobs as needed. Killed stuff a lot faster, too.

Words regarding Conjurer vs Arcanist

I completely agree about Arcanist. Even after reaching lvl 31 and finally becomming a Scholar I found myself prefering that over Arcanist for soloing. Just throw on cleric stance, DOT things up and facetank a few mobs while Eos keeps you healed. Getting Swiftcast will be an absolute pain though :-/

I thought the same,but getting THM to 26 doesn't really take that long at all. And once you become a Scholar with Swiftcast, raising folks becomes a breeze

1-16 takes ~4 hours. Less if you have a level 50 class already. Just 10 more gets you swiftcast.

I haven't noticed a huge amount of healers at all. Most queues I've been in are almost instant.

And a few of the groups I've talked with complain about the lack of healers all the time. it probably varies from server to server.

The DF pulls players from all servers, so that shouldn't be a factor in DF groups. Sugest that they turn on all language options if you encounter such a conversation again.

And thanks for the reassurance fanservice and Cluebilly I have been working on the thaum one lvl at a time now and then but it's just so boring to play... at least at early levels.
