Healing

Can i ask why at GM healing it takes so long to heal your self I don't remember the timer being this long - what is it like 10 secs or something it sucks.?

I don't understand it ? What if anything makes the bandy process quicker ? It seems that without pots and a little Magery to throw in a mini heal your not going to get very far.

Dont flame me im just unsure about the timer and how it can be any quicker.

TY

Healing rate is dexterity based. At 100 dexterity it takes 10 seconds to heal-self I believe.

I think you are right Darkwing. Healing in actual UO:R under the dex based healing mechanic was much faster, something like 6 seconds at 100 dex if I remember correctly, but I also think that dexers were way way overpowered after that change, and I think most people who played UO:R would agree.

Here is a bit of nostalgia from this changes timeframe: http://www.wtfman.com/flash/commovie.htm

That's not DarkWing, Matron.

I do think, even as much as I love the dexxers, that healing self under 10s would be a bit overpowered. Perhaps if there were a Magery check and if <=30 or something allow a faster heal time. I'd love to see anything that can balance out a character with low to no Magery.

It's about 15s at 30 or so dexterity down to about 9.5 on 100+.

Yea sorry im not DW. but dont mind being mistaken as he is a nice guy - The reason i ask is when i had tugsoft uo-assist the timer showed 8 secs for heal self and then half that at 4secs for x heal ? So maybe it is ERA accurate and it was after trammel this changed - my mind is fuzzy....

IIRC dexxers after AOS ran around with tons of dex, like 120 unbuffed. There isn't +25 stats or item giving stats in this era. The more dex you have the faster the bandage.

If you are going to run around on a dexxer for PvP then you have to balance your amount of dex with a comfortable bandage timer and with mindblast in mind.

On my dexxer, before armor and buffs, I have 70 base dex.

At 70 dex: 12 second heal.
At 66 dex (armor on): 12 second heal.
At 89 dex (armor off & buffed): 11 second heal.
At 86 dex (armor on & buffed): 11 second heal.

For PvM:

Run with 100 dex and pot through the mindblasts. If you run a dexxer, for either PvM or PvP, and don't use pots then you are doing it wrong.

At 100 dex: 10 second heal.
At 120 dex (buffed): 9 second heal.


Hope this helps.

11 second heal is what I recall dexers having during this era. Non dexers got 14 or so as I recall.

I do remember them dropping healing times at one point, down to like 6 secs, but I don't recall when they made that change, only that it was glorious.
