first impressions (healer, pally, mage & guilds)

[aydinnhp12]

first off...great game. i have been sucked into the world and have very much enjoyed the break from other MMOs to play allods. LOVE the arisen race. love it. questing has been fun but would love to see more stuff like the intro levels.

i'm not a hardcore numbers person so i'll just go with my basic impressions / thoughts on what i've played so far.

Healer
SUCKS at healing. talented, geared, etc and they still suck at healing. any long cast heal should at least hit someone for 20-25% of their health. i'd say we're hitting for more like 2%. it's so small that in a battle i'm better off doing anything BUT healing.

Pally
because of the Holy Barrier i don't think my pally was taking any damage (at least i think it was the barrier). he seemed completely unstoppable - SOLO. there didn't seem to be any penalty / damage as long as i kept moving foward and smashing stuff.

Mage
Granted, like i said, i'm not a numbers person. but the mage "forces" or bubbles or whatever they are that stack up as you fight was incredibly confusing. the tooltip says that you could have any number of things happen from them - ranging from really awesome buffs to really bad damage to yourself. why is there a mechanic that we have no way of knowing whether it'll be harmful or helpful to use? it needs to be either a buff OR a debuff - it can't be both. taking damage (or negative effects) aren't bad so long as i know it and can plan for it in my rotation.

Guild Interface
I didn't get a lot of time to play around with this but the guild creation system and guild master functions were AWFUL. i'm still not even 100% sure how to ADD a member to my guild. and if there is one thing that keeps people playing MMOs it's friendships / guilds. please add more interface buttons, tooltips, etc to streamline this area of the game.

I completely agree with all of your opinions, especially the healer.
