What if a self healing paladin offtank is viable?

[Noll]

Step1: craft i110 tank gears.
Step2: meld full mind on the gears
Step3: Make a raid party made of 1other tank, 5dps and 1 other healer.

Now you as an offtank will help with the healing on the maintank with cure1 spam.

What do you think? Would this work? /Discuss

This could be tested but I think there is a magic power stat on mages weapons that isn't on the physical weapons that makes a huge difference for the healings.

And you would need a lot of piety too.

[WellFooled]

I'm afraid Paladins don't have the tools available for this to work. I think the increased damage the tank would receive for dropping tanking stats in exchange for healing stats would be more than he could contribute to healing.

I think you'd help the healer better by keeping Stoneskin up on the MT whenever possible.

[Canadane]

Might be easier to just go with 2 healers and 1 tank rather than 1.5 tanks and 1.5 healers.

[Tam_Hawkins]

Paladin only has the mp for a few healing spells, you could refill your mp with riot blade but that doesnt even give enough mp for one cast so you would sooner or later go into a Rotation of 2x riot blade Combo and 1x vita (might be 2r-1v-1r-1v-2r-1v-.... after a while i'm not sure). So even if you get enough heals out of it you would only be able to cast once evry 7,5s to 12,5s which is definitly not enough.

Like others said using Stone Skin makes much more sense (no wisdom needed for full effect), but feel free to try it maybe we are in for a surprise ^u^

I healed a run in 1.0 Cutter's as a Paladin. Was a little harder than WHM, sure, but a lot more fun. Amelia is right though, keeping stoneskin on the main tank is incredibly helpful.

Agreed. To that end you'd probably be better off melding Piety if you wanted to do that, and this may be the only time I'll ever say that.

wont work , Pala MP is limited , and cure1 as pld even full mind is a joke , plds dont get traits to enhance magic like casters do and swords have low magic dmg numbers.

Bring bakc Holy succor D:

Oh if its indeed "magic damage" limited IT wont work yeah.

I guess the only viable mind melded healer hybrid you can make is the blm then. But it will still be a suboptimal choice.
