Gearing a healer

[Jelouu]

So, im an elven oracle lvl 31, what gear should i aim to first. I cant get any drop so i have to buy  but i dont know if i should buy jewelry, armor (i already have moon set) or 1h wep+shield. So any help would be really good cuz im new to l2 and im kinda lost to what to do now. Thx.

 

P.S: Apologies for my english

Good question. Usually healers walk around with a 1-handed + shield, maybe because healing spells don't scale that well with M.Attack. Can anyone elaborate on that? Is there no big difference in heals when you use a staff?

MAtk helps you land debuffs (Sleep, Root). For EO/EE, their own survivability may be more important than debuffs, but of course it depends on what kinds of parties you are in. Sometimes Elven Mithril set is worth having even for its +7 Speed alone (but you won't see it in the game until non-CPs start hitting 40+).

I think the most important factor for EE is Mana and Casting Speed, former more than the latter. More mana simply means more recharges, more heals and maybe even a debuff in between. Early game the only good reliable way for your mana pool to increase is higher grade robes. Therefore, while I know it won't be an easy task, I would always focus on that karmian set asap and put all my effort in grinding money for that before 40. If not karmian, then the proper D robe at least (Forgot about its name)

Now ofcourse, a problem would occur when you primarely want to level your EE solo, since you would need a good gun for that when you get closer to 40, and especially after. However, who plays an EE to mainly play solo?

Max mana pool is not important for EE in PvE. MP regen is important.

Matk is good, increases your healing. after lvl 40 for armor take anything that gives you +wit because wit makes your rez give more xp back.

which, gearwise, also only can be improved with armor set bonusses. OR with lucky augment on weap

[Destructivee]

get yourself a good armor first for the mp regen and the max mana pool and leave the weap last !

Nowdays any robe is 1shot, maybe 2 shots. You cant increase your survivability just adding eaw p.def. Forget gearing for pvp for now....it's to early, you have a lot of pve to grind.

Add casting and mp regen as much as you can
