MMORPG's Garrett Fuller had the chance recently to sit down with En Masse Senior Producer Brian Knox. They had the chance to talk about TERA and its PvP component, solo play and characteristics of the player archetypes.
Is the Priest the only healing class? Will other classes get boosts of healing to support themselves if the Priest goes down in a fight?
Mystics are also healers, so they can assist priests and even serve as the main healer for a party. Every class has the ability to use a few "get out of jail" cards or even some potions that can restore health up to 50 percent, so there are definitely ways for the other classes to stay alive if the party's healer is taken out. When comparing TERA to other MMOs, the healing system is radically different. Healers in TERA need to move and remain active, and they must always be aware of not only their allies' health but of their location on the battlefield.
