Never played a healer class before, but I'm thinking about it this time. Unlike BG2 where there were plenty of spellcasters and a lack of good fighters (if you were a mage), the opposite looks true in DAO. 

It was interesting to note that Team Spain couldn't move past a certain boss because they picked no dedicated healer, but they also said that due to the nature of the event, exploring things like herbalism wasn't a factor. 

For the first time in a non-Gothic/Risen RPG, it looks like herbalism will be near-essential. That's great. I've never played a healer class in any RPG because of the probability you'll get separated from your group and be screwed in combat; but I am now after hearing about the difficulty if you don't have one. If Morrigan is an offensive mage, and there are plenty of front-line fighters, then playing a healing class will be the best fit for the PC in the game.

It is tough without one, and even tougher if you don't have some potions to replenish your mana and/or your health. I had a heck of a time against a certain boss (team Canada) not just because of my poor tactics, but also due to the lack of the above mentioned elements when I was battling that one.

Oh cool, we have someone who played it here. 

So... do you think having a healer/herbalist PC would have helped you a lot? Basically, a good strategy in BG 2 was to pick a class not well represented in the game, and then any party would be a powerhouse due to good balance. It sounds DAO is that way with a white mage herbalist PC. Agree? Did you find that?

There seems to be plently, or at least enough, of every class. Bioware RPGs are probably the best ones to play a healer in with the way the group works, because your micromanaging your whole party anyway.



How did Canada do btw? I didnt watch the event for fear of spoilers.

I'm probably going to play an all purpose mage my first time through, a little damage, a little healing, and just kind of move in whichever direction my party is lacking later on. I imagine I'll have a good bit of healing though because I don't really like Wynne.

I would like to leave the game running real time as much as possible. So micromanaging myself at the back with a pair of tanks up front on auto script sounds like a good idea to try.

i wouldnt play what i call a healer class, but ill be a mage with coercion/herbalism and some healing spells (probably only heal/group heal)

Your PC dosen't need to be one as long as someone in your party is. But yes, I think it's going to be a must for anyone not playing on normal, or easy.
