What do we do when the healer is dead? - Guild Wars Forums

asloc000 · Feb 05, 2006, 11:09 PM // 23:09

A friend and I have been playing for the past couple weeks, and on a couple occasions we've had to deal with one of us dying and the other still playing. What are we supposed to do at this point? Do we have to start the mish over again, or is there a way to come back to life and continue?

I'm sure this is a newbie question, but I haven't been able to even find a reference to this situation.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Andy.

Bring a res sig for that case.

Also, the healer really shouldn't be near danger at all. Ideally the healer is behind all of the other people.

Thanks Savio, I thought as much, but just wanted some confirmation.

and if for some reason the whole party dies then you will rez at the closes rez platform while out doing quests. if during a mission than u have to start the mission over again

Couldn't have said it better myself

Pevil Lihatuh · Feb 05, 2006, 11:22 PM // 23:22

lol there's nothing more irritating for me than a party in a mission who doesn't bring a res sig each. In regular quests, fair enough, just let everyone die and all respawn (or attempt to fight on til you die anyway) but in a mission, having a res or not having a res will decide whether you complete it or "return to outpost".

Rayne Nightfyre · Feb 05, 2006, 11:25 PM // 23:25

Agreed, always carry a Res sig(Restore Life/Rebirth if Monk), and don't assume "the other guy" is carrying one.

LifeInfusion · Feb 05, 2006, 11:31 PM // 23:31

Last slot (slot8) should be rebirth/resurrect/res sig at all times (IMO)

/signed

I always bring my res sig, but I wait for other people to use theirs first. If they don't have it I'll use mine. Then afterwards scold them for not bringing one

Wonder if this is the reason getting rezzes is so slow, everyone stalking out for someone else to use theirs first

Da Immortal King · Feb 06, 2006, 06:15 AM // 06:15

My rez sig has ALWAYS been in my skill bar from day 1

d3kst3r · Feb 06, 2006, 06:34 AM // 06:34

Restore Life, Ressurection etc for PvE
Rez sigs for PvP

Hendorr · Feb 06, 2006, 06:49 AM // 06:49

I always use my sig first, so people can't blame me for not rezzing. So Nin00 we would make a good rez team

Barinthus · Feb 06, 2006, 06:58 AM // 06:58

Actually people who have permanment rez should be the one rezzing first. Rez signets are to be used only if all players with rez spells are dead. On those folks too. Don't waste your one-time rez signet if someone else have a rez spell.

Hendorr · Feb 06, 2006, 07:03 AM // 07:03

That's all very true Barinthus, but I was talking 'bout PvP. If you don't use any skills of your 2nd proffesion in your build you should always be a monk for PvE, cause monk has some good rezzing skills (don't worry if you haven't got a monk as secondairy, you can change it in the Crystal desert)

Poison Ivy · Feb 06, 2006, 07:04 AM // 07:04

Ture.

But in unless it's in GvG. My guild only takes Rez Sigs for rezing XD, and the monks don't even bring it O.O.

Sereng Amaranth · Feb 06, 2006, 07:28 AM // 07:28

Some missions have cutscenes where every dead party member will be auto-rezzed.

Hockster · Feb 06, 2006, 07:46 AM // 07:46

As I only party up with guildies anymore, unless I'm the monk, I don't bring a rez of any sort. PUG's just aren't worth the bother anymore.

Funda · Feb 06, 2006, 08:17 AM // 08:17

Hmm, what to do if your monk dies...

1) stop fighting
2) pan camera down to fallen monk
3) cry
4) rez, if possible -- in these situations, martyrdom as a result of using a rez spell while being pounded by ettinses is a noble and honorable gesture.
5) if you dont have rez, 2 options:
a] die
b] run (the rest, you'll have to figure out on your own)

Good luck, and Godspeed!

Harmony · Feb 06, 2006, 08:48 AM // 08:48

And of course, the most important (according to a lot of people)

You flame and call the monk names for being stupid enough to die in the first place. They did it, you know, just to ensure that you fail. It's an evil monk plot

**Disclaimer** That is meant to be funny, folks, not saying that's what you should REALLY do..love the monks, yup. But unfortunately, it does happen. The poor monk gets blamed for having the audacity to die..how dare he!!
