Healing as a Priest in TERA

In Tera I made a rule for myself that I could not create any alts until I hit level 60, which has been challenging... I'm curious as to how the other classes play and it's eating at me that I can't find out. I picked a priest because I wanted to know how healing would be translated to "true action combat". Also, everyone needs a healer in their party. I'm level 37 right now and have  a handful of healing spells. A self direct heal, a party direct heal, and three aoe type heals. I also am able to cleanse harmful effects like poison. The heal I seem to use the most is Restorative Burst. Here's a picture of it for ya.
White ring = Restorative Burst
Restorative Burst
Basically you cast a white ring on the floor 10 yards in front of your character. Anyone who stands in the ring gets healed for quite a bit.

Focus Heal
The direct heal, Focus Heal, let's you target 3 party members and heal them directly. By target I mean hover over the character and then press space. Your party members turn green when they are targeted so you know who is about to be healed.

Regeneration Circle
Regeneration Circle makes a huge circle around you and puts a HoT (Heal over Time) on everyone in it.

Healing Circle
Healing Circle is similar to Restorative Burst. It puts a little circle directly in front of your character and directly heals whoever is in it.

So there it is, the first couple healing spells I've seen. While trying to properly place heals you have to avoid getting hit from attacks. I've died a couple times to BAMs swings due to trying to get in close to save my party members. T.T dead priest cannot heal.

Tera has a fun and interactive healing system. I'd like to try the Mystic for comparison, but until I hit 60 I'm stuck with my Priest.

In closing I leave you with the frog drum.
Hehe Frog Drum!

  1. Sounds like it could be fun. I like that they have a direct healing spell still. Often it becomes more of a 'heal the ground at their feet' kind of approach with these action games, which can feel a lot less cool.
