But...I...I don't wanna DPS, I'm a healer...

[Sida]

Actuslly, healers discouraged from dps'ing has been very much a case in games where healers damage spells are not very efficient comparing to the mana cost they have due stat distribution, while mana and regeneration of it is a thing. Healers simply had to spare any drop of that blue juice to heal efficiently, and they could still mess it up. Hear this is different nowadays, in wow at least, they dumbed it down enough that one simply can't run OOM. This game has cleric stance which gives the healer damage spells the same usability as most caster classes so benefits are reasonable compared to the cost.

Oh, for the OP about the OOM. On scholar, Aetherflow is a delicious thing. And that gives you stacks which allows you to cast a manadrain to whatever mob is around for even more juice. They say SCH is mana dynamo ^^
