[SIZE="4"]Ok here comes my explanation (as an PvP Coordinatior) regarding why healing and magery is NOT useless AT ALL. It is most likely two of the most IMPORTANT skills needed in order to PvP properly at IN-X.[/SIZE]
First of all without magery you can't use the "greater heal spell", which means that you'll have to use greater heal scrolls OR bandages to heal. Since the greater heal scroll takes a HUGE amount of mana to cast you won't be able to PvP with those, you'd only be able to cast four of them and then you'll be completely out of mana. (perhaps five if you use an mana potion as well and if you are at full mana while begging to cast those, but then you won't even be able to use the greater heal potion when you're getting dumped again, or being hit by an melee weapon).
And if we listen to what you suggest then you won't be able to use bandages instead of the greater heal spell either, since then you won't have that skill. And if you do then you'll only be using it to ress people, apparantly, and that's just dumb. Any hit for less than 20 hp on yourself is almost always an "bandage heal hit", and if you know how to fight good you'll be able to use it even more often than that, bandages is an great way of saving mana to be able to make powerful attacks.
Healing with bandages is actually the MOST important skill in order to save mana. If you know how to heal with bandages plus the greater heal spell then you'll most likely stay high on mana and be able to heal yourself AND do offensive attacks when needed.
So once again, if you DO NOT have magery nor healing you won't be able to stay high on mana. You would instead be using greater heal scrolls to heal, and that in term will cause you to drop to 0 mana in no time. Four hard hits and you'll be out of mana. What do you do when you are out of mana? Nothing - you're dead, you can't even heal with bandages because you DO NOT have that skill macroed, because apparantly you think that it's useless.
Compare 30 mana drained (greater heal scroll) from a normal greater heal spell (11 mana drained), and you'll see what I mean. Compare healing every time with a 30 mana scroll instead of using an bandage when you drop to like 80 hp, and you'll see what I mean when I say HEALING AND MAGERY IS SO VERY IMPORTANT when you PvP at our shard. With the healing spell you'll be able to heal at least 9 times before you run out of mana. With the greater heal scroll on the other hand you'll be able to heal FOUR times. Sure the greater heal scroll is a little bit faster but hey - that does not matter if you have good timing. The greater heal scrolls is a way to "survive near-death-experiences", not an "normal way to heal", if you do that you'll end up dieing in no-time.
I understand if the players who has not been playing the XUO pvp before may think that it's weird. They may actually even use the greater heal scrolls instead of normal greater heal in tourneys - thinking that that's how we play it, and if they do they'll end up dieing in no-time.
I will start my PvP school soon, and that school will teach you all how to use our PvP system properly as long as you listen good during the "class", and practice hard. So stay tuned for that, and once again - magery and healing IS VERY IMPORTANT to PvP properly, any good pvper who knows our PvP system would agree with me on that.
