Lost my sister, now lost Anders. Merrill can't heal.

Will I get a healer back at any point in the story?



Sorry to be so ranty for my first post.

Be a healer yourself?

[Dave of Canada]

Nope, you're healerless unfortunately.

[RosaAquafire]

Thankfully, healing is useless in this game.

Get lots of potions and have your tank keep aggro. You'll be fine.

The new age of gaming: Healing is boring, insta potions for everyone that heals completely and pretty much drop from any rat in town!

You don't agree? Here, hundreds of mobs, kill them! Happy now?

potions buddy, potions.

Healing is not useless. You can finish the game without a spirit healer, but you can also finish it without any mage at all.

And a bunch of people in a certain popular MMO want this tactic applied there.  As well as tank removal. Because they don't want to do it themselves...

BORING.

I like tanks and healers... even in my single player games!

I don't know, playing on hard, I actually found the game got easier after I replaced Anders with Merrill. All it really is is one extra pot cooldown, and two emergency buttons that have cooldowns too long to really save the day.

Pots do spirit healing better than spirit healers do.

You can make do just fine without a dedicated healer. Just gotta craft some potions. The 'revive grenades' are very helpful too.
I was pretty disappointed when Bethany died (also shocked and angry at the writers, why did you have to do this to me! I was starting to like her... ) because I didn't expect it (managed to stay away from that spoiler) and my party sort of revolved around her support and healing abilities... So for a couple of levels I had to adjust but then Merril was just fine once I learned to use her spells.

Playing without a mage sounds inadvisable (if only for the cross-class combo options you give up in the process, the nuke grenades aren't cheap either), but certainly not impossible.

I actually... never had a healer through my second playthrough. I brought Fenris, Varric and Aveline, and I played a (dual-wield) rogue. The only time I ever had any sort of "healer" in my party was when it was for a personal quest, and they were promptly abandoned afterward. I relied entirely on healing potions and kiting for most of my harder situations. Then again, my party was heavy on damage and had a tank, we could usually nuke through things pretty well. Then again, it might just be that I'm playing on a lighter difficulty than others. I have this awesome habit of derping around.

My first playthrough, I did have myself as a mage with one healing spell, but I still ended up falling back onto potions for the most part. I was a little sad that there wasn't really a specific healer, since I noticed Anders was really only good for an occasional heal (though I haven't really had him in my party later on, when, I'm guessing, he gets better spells). In DA:O, I always brought Wynne along as my healer (and Alistair was my meat shield).

They don't require you to take a healer. I beat it without any mages, I played an anti mage group on hard. its doable.

Just buy pots and grenades... By the end of the game I had like 130 gold that I couldnt get rid of. I bought out sandals shop in the last mission with it and still had more then I needed..

I'm honestly happy about this change. DA:O Mages were just OP and you couldn't avoid taking them for the most part. I had more freedom to choose who I took in DA2. Except Aveline, though I suppose I could have tank specced Fenris.

tell that to the High Dragon at Nightmare difficulty.

[Palathas]

Yeah, I've found spell healing to be mostly useless in this game. Either get a good taunting tank and give everyone else the agro reduction skills or build everyone to have the highest amount of DPS you can to drop things quicker than they can drop you.

[Haristo]

Lets say parts without Anders are kind of difficult... anyway how did you lost all your healers ? I can easily understand for Bethany but what about Anders ?!?

[dragonmack]

I took Anders along as a healer for most of the second act, and part of the third, but I honestly didn't find him all that useful as a healer. Granted I just did auto level and didn't micro manage him, but Wynne from DA:O was ten times the healer Anders was on default. Not that it really mattered on Normal. Only had two real difficult fights and those two Anders spent more time dead than helpful anyway. I found the power of Merrill more useful at later levels ( although I preferred Bethany as she was a true nuker mage.) What I found surprising about the companion choices was that they gave you essentially 3 mages, and 3 rogues, including two different archers, but only one tank option. So basically you either had to be a tank character or use Avelline all the time if you wanted a traditional party.

[The Minority]

Simple. Potions and sparing Anders. Problem solved!

[Marbazoid]

I would say that having well built dps characters will help you more. Some fights you simply have to blow the crap out of everything as fast as possible before you start running low on cool-downs and man/stamina.

Health potions are more than sufficient to cover your healing needs. Focus firing weaker enemies using all your group members will also help you survive, as by default the party ai likes to pew pew any mob they feel like, making encounters last too long.

I let that dirty ginger rot!  Carver and Fenris ftw.

[Merci357]

I can't speak for nightmare mode, but you don't need a healer (or a tank) in this game.
