hm, well, if you play around with those awesome(ly useless) healing tools you could at least pretend you*re doing smth once in a while.

but yeah, srsly, all in all, playing healer either way is damn boring. and keep in mind that i main a class where "just stand there while mostly doing nothing" is actually the only thing possible because all the battles so hard scripted, you can tank them in controller mode (or playing on a console) without being in the same room or sometimes ppl wont notice if you fall asleep as a tank (they somehow noticed in t11 though, fun times, didnt die, no wipe, but a bit of surprise in their voice xD)
for what i've seen (and experienced), at least as sch, its just the same. only difference is where you stand during the fight/sleep x)

if you ever wondered why ppl say this game bores them. well, now you know...
