If you want to make this into Tank Mage haven... keep it up, but it sure will get boring quickly.

There are 3 distinct periods of time where healing worked in one way or another, the pre-May 99 system (which I don't have the specific numbers to), the May 99 to January 2000 time frame, and the post-January time frame. Each is technically accurate to the T2A era, and it falls to Derrick to make the decision about which one we use here.

pew.
then us dexxers hope that we receive the lesser of all evils.

I don't consider the healing system in 2000 to be t2a. The healing patch in 2000 was the next patch after the patch that removed pre-casting in preparation for the UOR publish.

Also signed here, even though my main is a mage.
This is kinda absurd.. and think of the pvm.. how are you supposed to tank even a poison ele if you arent loaded till the throat with greater cure potions with these timers.. god...

Well I am not sure what Derrick is planning on doing with this. However, I know the current system is based on the newer style where dex plays a role into how fast you heal. If this is reverted back to how it should be dexer's will heal slightly slower but not harder than they do now. If this is the case this is how healing "should" and "did" work during the second age. I don't see it making much of a difference though. The playstyle for a dexer will be no different if this is corrected.

Things could be mucher more worse for a dexer. Dexers should be very grateful that the bug isn't implemented where you took an extra slip when hit by a damage spell during this era.

Slightly slower? Hell it takes 17 sec to heal poison and 14 to heal period. WAY TOO LONG!

[Faust]

It is actually 15s heal self and 18s to cure self. A difference of 5s. That is slightly slower. Would you prefer the 3 minute delay that occurred in pre-t2a? Now that would not be considered "slightly". These delays are era accurate and are just fine. The strategy for a dexer is no different than before. If you want to further review and discuss this topic than do so in the patch 64 thread for this. There is no need to discuss it in multiple threads.

Also, these delays are the same as they were before. The difference between the two is that dex modified the value of the delay.

[StDrahcir]

I agree. Slightly slower is an understatement. You can cast cure faster than what you can bandage. Right now curing is roughly about 13 seconds I'm guessing. Maybe more like 11, but this is just an estimate (at 100 dex). Having it at about 17 - 18 seconds is insane.
