EverQuest II Interview

The Caster University has conducted an interview with Sony’s EJ Moreland, asking the mechanics designer several questions about the priest archetype and subclasses in EverQuest II. Check it out:

Q:Since complete heal has been removed as an idea from EQ2, what other methods of healing will Priest have access to in order to make up for this and make them more efficient as time passes?

A:As a Priest progresses from archetype to class to subclass, they gain healing spells appropriate to the path they choose. These additional healing spells, rather than the upgrades to the Priest archetype spells, are the primary method in which these professions gain efficiency and potency.

As for specific types of healing past instant heals, over-time heals, and wards, we also have contingency heals ((Divine Intervention) type spells), instant cast/no mana cost healing abilities with long re-use timers, healing reprisals (similar to the (Mark of Kings) spell in EverQuest), and a few others we’re not willing to reveal yet.
