Dedicated Healer Template
My main is a Sampire and i was thinking of making an alt to be a dedicated healer so follow me around in dungeons. Does anyone know what this template may look like?
I was thinking something like this:
Magery
healing
anatomy
music
disco
peacemaking
meditation/focus
........Or what else works? is there anything that uses myst, or spellweave or anything other skills maybe?
Thanks!

My plan is to make a pure dedicated healer without any offensive capabilites. My sampire is the risky, full damage deal. No resist, low chiv, max parry max anatomy etc.. making him rather weak but high dps.
To make a dedicated healer with hopefully some bard skills as a bonus is the plan.
Your explanation on mysticism really helps! It would seem the best route. Ill read over your post a few more times and put something together. Does eval int also increae3 the potency of heals?
As a healer how would you rank magery/eval vs myst/focus? My decision will be based here I think.
Im leaning towards:
Myst
Focus
Music
Disco
Healing
Anatomy
Magery 60 (for recall) or perhaps hiding and use the recall charges trick, as you described.
If it turns out that magery/eval will hold up as a healer, it would probably be more practical, having gate and all the other fun stuff. But if myst and focus makes for an op healer, maybe it would outweigh?
Cheers mate!
@Maximus_Neximus You also make a very good point and have picked up that, although i need support, I do need a rather passive character that lets me focus on my Sampire.
At this point I feel like making both variations (two characters), just for the fun of it because the Mystic does sound very fun.
Big thanks to all the help guys, especially @Rock who went into so much detail. You guys are really important to the UO community, for both returning and new players. The UO community is proving to be less toxic than any other
Thank you!
4x120 bar skills give very powerfull buffs (peace and provo) check the mastery info...
also i have myst focus and magery in my template. but my suit is very tailored for a maximum on extra skillpoints but keeping 18hpr and 30mr
if you want i can give you details later when iam home.
I have more than enough information here to make my decision.
I did not know about the bard masteries at all until now which helps my decsion.
The biggest selling point is having the most automatic/passive assistant to my sampire. Originally i thought a healer would be optimal but i now see the benefits of bard.
Although i do wish to make Rocks healer for fun and to help my guildies.
Cheers lads
i would not do healing and anatomy, you need dex for to be effective.
that means you have lower int, which afftects MR
this combined with some of the templates listed here i fear they will be very weak...
also healing needs bein close to the target, thats makes it more difficult to play with without scripting as you also need to play your main guy...
i would go the magic healing way, like cleansing wind
and you need to put as much in medi and focus as possible with lots of MR to run mastery without running out of mana when you are fighting, even if you are only in party with 1 other toon, each MOUNT and pets counts towards the mana cost of mastery...
so your 2 guys and the mounts ? 4 mobiles towards mana cost for upkeeping the mastery.
thats excel the reason for using magic from distance is that todays bosses often change target and do area which is not idea when u have to play 2 guys hehe
@PlayerSkillFTW
i thought about the obi, however this would only work if i find a brace which has all what i need to replace the 2 MR from missing the tangle,
i found while testing that each piece of int and MR is needed to keep the mastery up when you have bigger party...
so using the obi for gaining 10 focus but losing 2 mr is most likely bein equal to each other...
however if i find a ring with the 25 skill points i would consider it at least till the ring is broken
as antique breaks faster
@PlayerSkillFTW Good point about having resists, this definitely makes the myst template valuable.
@FinleyGrant
That spreadsheet is friggen cool. I'd also like to know where I can get it! I'll make a donation for it.
@Rock Good points here.
@Biff
sorry unfortunately i have not planned to give out the excel.
the spreadsheet got a bunch of hidden tabs which i use with formula to actually let me select items in the slots so it puts in the proper values for for me, it took me some time to get all done
@PlayerSkillFTW
so far i havent found a replica Obi which actually have 10 focus, do you maybe have one for sale?
got only 1 with +5 however i have more issues with to find a brace which will give me the 45 skills and 2 mr. (when i replace tangle with obi) so in the end this thing would only make sense if i can replace the 2 MR somehow with not losing skills.
