T3-4 Archmage or Rune Priest

[ostrogoth182]

I already have anot archmage but not that high a level yet so I was just curious how the 2 compare in the higher tiers

If the healer is left alone most of the classes do similar numbers.
The best way to rate healers at war is the healing capabilities when under pressure.

On that scale wp/dok are without doubt number 1. They just dont suffer from interups thanks to their low or instant cast heals, they also get best defencing stats, perma aoe detaunt, unremovable grp buffs, etc.

After them i would put zealot/rp/shamans. Zealot/rp deal with pressure moment spamming flash/grundis gift and procing all goodies that they have while their teammates help them or the dps that pressure them switch target or overextend.

Shamans deal with pressure moment differently. Thanks to racial tactics shaman just outrun all mdps, so gobbos just run around trowing some hots until the dps chasing them just give up and switch.

AM on other hand doesnt have the tactics that shaman got and face even harder problem cos of mara's pull. You could prekite but eventually you will get pulled, staggered, rooted, catched and the healing from AM under pressure is quite low, hence it is least played healer on competative level.

Yes, at sc when u got guards behind you, many could do miricles with AMs, but you can do that with all healers. AMs are much easier to counter and disrupt their healing while they bring less utility compare to rp.

Player that do good on AM will do better on RP because RP just bring more to the group. It is simple as that

Well DoK/WP are fundamentally flawed and poorly executed concepts that should have been fixed/implemented better

i like runies more than ams simpy b/c runies can kite better with their flash heal

There is nothing wrong with dok/wp without SOV se/rf regen procs. You simply can't spam healing, while sitting 100ft behind the frontline.
