Cleric and Bind Would

[cryptid]

I've leveled a cleric and I've been trying to find out if it's worth leveling bind wound. On the few melee characters I've played, that's a given. But on a healer, are there any circumstances where having maxed bind wound might save the day? Thanks.

Can help with slow attrition healing if you want to keep mana full, if you want to heal without sitting or if you are using a spell/clicky with long cast time.

Can be done while da/db.

Not affected by silence/oom

basically no

This.

I mean, if you really get out in the weeds it is not like it has *zero value …

But in this case the simple answer is the most relevant.

Work on your bind would if you’re the type of completionist that wants all skills maxed I guess

You can heal without breaking invis with bandages too

because youd also have to have at least one permanent inventory slot taken up by bandages, imma say No. even as a rogue, once i got a clicky healing bp theres almost no reason to ever use bandages again. 10 seconds of waiting for like ... 40 health? its only better if sitting health regen is your only other option. any melee can bw that guy while youre invis, and you can regen enough mana for multiple bandages in that time

In theory yes in practice no

Donal’s arms heal 16hp/second.

I’d work on bind wound right after practicing other languages.

You know you can click BP and bind wound at the same time, correct?

As for cleric, they don't ever get beyond 50% health for bind wound correct? I would likely pass, probably med time = more hp in heals than bind wound in same time.

Cleric unlock 201 skill at Level 56. At this point both meditating to fuel divine light* and bandages are just over 8hp/sec.

* (not the ideal attrition heal strat, I know, but for the sake of comparison)

An excellent way to do some attrition healing while keeping the battery full. Better than meditating or bandaging. You can weave it with bandages for an extra 50-80ish hp per 12 sec. Obviously has the drawback of no better hp/ac combo buff and you need the recipient of bandages to be nearby.
