  Ok, let me translate it, again:
  A group of Dark Knights plus master of party healing <<Healer>> plus mana elixirs = Invincible team formation.
  Do you get it now?

  
  Oh, indeed. I suppose the 'healer' does/can imply another outside member.
  
  Weird, seems like I failed to read that when I quoted the guy.
  Huuh.. ~_~ A mistake.

  Q_Q Nana always gets yelled at when she heals.
  
  The idiots don't realize that no matter how high my healing ranks are and no matter how much mana I have, if they fight like a bag of bullocks, then I wont be able to keep up with them. Somehow, they figure them WM spamming themselves into -200 HP to be my fault when they die.
  
  Healers do get a lot of abuse Q_Q

  I don't see the use in party healing outside of secret sms, or infinite trans party.

  I'm a soloist so I'm a hard judge but I guess because I AM a soloist I ejoy the company of a healer once in awhile to just.. heal. The only thing I like to see in a healer on Mabinogi is that they have obviously ranked their healing skills to a usable rank and have decent defensive abilities making them more useful in combat than just standing in a corner healing. A nice rank of barrier spikes, golem, defense, and upgraded armor along with at least one long distance offensive skill to protect themselves makes it so that i don't need to worry about them. In my eyes a good healer build on Mabinogi is a defensive healer which is away from the norm of healers in most games which are squishy useless things outside of being able to buff you/heal you.
  
  To make such a build even more plausible would be to include buff skills that you can obtain in similar manner to adv magic but also requiring you to be x rank of heal and/or party heal. Similar buffs to that of playing music buffs which are alright but hardly noticeable in effectiveness in most situations. They have already played with the buff idea with instrument + R9 enhanced scrolls, support shot, and party healing. If they tweeked these buffs into better skills once would even split the magic tab to lessen the intense list of skills under it. Mind you in my eyes the combat tabs should be better split up to begin with but lets not go there.

  There are problems when the only thing you can do in a party is heal. Good players will be getting hit very minimally in the first place, and few situations warrant a dedicated healer in this game.

  A bunch of my friends and I are going to start playing Mabinogi soon and I am planning to make a healer while my friends are planning to make a Lancer and a Fighter. What skills do I need to rank up first and what elemental magic attack should I use?
