Having healer vs Not Having a healer

I'm boxing 3 mages (lvl 14 so far) and I'm finding that they go down quick if I get 2+ unexpected mobs (or if there is lag when sheeping multiple targets)

I don't have anything set up to switch to a different main, but once my main mage goes down they all do.

I'm thinking about making a priest to replace one of the mages. Because of the bubble, healing, and rezzing.

I was just looking for some people to share their experiences of having a healer vs when they didn't have a healer. Maybe list pro's and cons or something.

P.S. - Thinking about running 4 on this PC. Not sure though.

I can tell you that my 2 mage + pally combo is absurdly powerful. You can talent the pally such that he can cast heals with 100% success even when getting beat on (concentration aura + 5 points of spiritual focus).

That basically gives you an incredible AE tank who can heal, if one of the mages does get unlucky with crits and snags agro you throw a bubble on them, etc.

That sounds pretty sweet. I didn't consider that. :D

I originally was thinking priest because of the bubble (was literally the first thought I had this morning as I was waking up, lol) but from what you say pallies might be worth trying. Harder to kill too.

I don't know too much about pallies (besides the fact that some of them just WILL NOT die in BG's).

Gonna hit up the pally forums soon and do some research.

Thanks

:twisted:

In my opinion, for 3+ boxing you need a healer.
