First Impressions

Well, with the server now down for approx. 2 hours maintenance, I guess I have time to jot down some thoughts.

First off, the class is durable - feels almost like a resto druid in WoW pvp - but with better damage dealing potential. You have to keep some HoT's on yourself (Blood Flow and Renewal) - with the talent trees initially allowing extra healing/damage while Blood Flow is up.

Unfortunately, the early destiny quests for healers offer mostly cloth/light armor rewards - without the benefit of a shield, it means you're a little more exposed until you start getting yourself some medium armor items - so, not only do you want Blood Flow up for the combat buffs, but early on, you really need it for the healing as well.
