Ep 2 Healing 101: A Simple Guide to Healing in Rift

[aquasnip3]

Shin Channn!

[lagginswag]

yea im rolling shaman, justicar, druid. but i made her a melee based char. ill get used to it eventually lol.

[lagginswag]

also healing as a cleric needs conviction which comes from being in a physical battle. can i just kick it in the back and heal people or do i need to pull enemies out everynow and then to get +1 conviction?

[maximus440]

@lagginswag that is ...one certain spec...and its a melee or DMG based healing spec...there maaaany many other options to heal. i have 3 heal specs and none are the -icar variety

[lagginswag]

boondock fucken saints

[godsendmehere]

if i had a girl like you i would quit stop playing to masturbate ^_^

[Crazymenacekid]

why is rift so dull?

[Daviduchija1]

TROLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO

[Faelsun]

Raiding sucks, raid healing sucks more, I have seen Pokket in pvp, she has to have a healer or she gets her ass kicked. But if she ever wants to do a video demonstrating her gag reflex I am game for that.

[GTSreviewer]

Is it weird that I looked AROUND her scoping out her level geekness level before I looked at her o_o? She is geeky enough to look upon in my book.

[Xlolboomheadshot]

O_o .... SOOOO.... ummm ur hot... and you play video games..... some guy is way too lucky...and it isnt me /facepalm -_-

[kibanek88]

Did you let the smurfs fart on ur eyelids?



[djhornymoney]

wow u pwetty:D



[diamondmm]

push_up next vid please !

[neptuneuk2001]

Thanks for the vids. I'm just starting Rift and I've noticed a distinct lack of healers. Quite informative, and the Combichrist intro couldn't go amiss.

[PanteraReloaded]

Shin chan

Nice

[BloodyCJ1]

That's one odd looking kitchen.

[TheBlackwater200]

Getting healed by a sexy woman is the hottest thing ever.

She's got the hair of WoW's Night Elf and the makeup too . It looks tremendous and she's voice on and after 1:04 is marvelous .. She is funny , intelligent , really hot and know a lot about games .. I hate you GOD !!! You made the perfect woman !!

[perogi21]

One to your LOS thoughts - black garden - use the spire closest to the fang to LOS your enemies. +6 each tick >> better than +2 behind the tree

[sjduane]

girls play healers

[colorformswerefun]

Lol sad virgins need to get laid. Pay attention to what she's actually talking about instead of OMFGZ A GURL. Pathetic lol.

[tkapwn]

wow gorgeous

[XakaRoyalFlush]

Is it just me or did her voice get hella sexy during the gameplay while she's explaining?

[SofaSlyngel]

Wow you are hot

[Goldenboy4242]

I like these guides a lot! I also think you have great taste in games. I cant even read most of the boxes but I know almost all of them by look. Great game choices! Thanks for the great guide too!

[KraziAz3]

[ThePump78]

@Carimm60 Just look for a girl whos a geek, as you can tell from this video, make-up can do wonders.

[Kcfromsca]

i came to this video just because you are hot haven't played rift since beta, but still w/e u are doing, keep doing it <3

[Jowl3r]

intro music, what is it? :)

[whtetigr2]

chloromancer in PVP is the way to fucking go... dmg and heal at the same time is fucking great. and chloro in a raid is GREAT offheals.

[omnimatt87]

You should wear a bikini swimsuit in your next video.

[Toni23Ton]

You are HOT and Sexy:)) keep up the good work.

[bimjm]

[robbeextra21]

[Helikaon9]

oya hottie gamer chick who likes industrial, WIN

[Trampolinhuepfer]

yeah love that boondock saints poster! got it 2 :)

[UrghNoNames]

@ZeroZic woops

[UrghNoNames]

@ZerZic learned this in religion class lol: women experience their sexuality in many uncomfortable and painful ways ( giving birth, menstruation, etc)This causes them to be generally more compassionate toward pain and suffering

[Draik41]

Just a helpful tip when doing voiceovers, try not to make it sound like you're reading something.

People tend to lose interest if what they're watching isn't entertaining.

Good example is Jesse Cox, who does WoW and Rift videos along with other videos.

[ZeroZic]

Typical girl stuff to be healers. All our girls in the guild are healers. Same goes for WoW. Wtf is it with girls and healing :P

[disturb1ng]

Shin CHAN! :O!

[mooncat429]

an it does take alot of practice so dont give up tanks and heals u just need to keep going :3

[mooncat429]

o.o she also left out Jobs to heal first. like tank over heals over dps but if needed tank (greater then or equal too) heals > dps. pertty much who u need to watch out for the most. ive healed alot of mmos too an on wow before WoTLK came out i used to heal as dps feral spec with heal set an used to get prazed for an many have asked me to go heals but heals is a VERY STRESSFUL job just like tank but u should never be afraid to do a job just because ppl say ur bad :3

[Geffreyy]

"Line of sight isn't the only issue, you also have to heal people"

Really? I didn't know that. Good information.

[Varcenstien]

Deathbed...excellent intro song choice.

[BrandonStover]

Ha, Shin Chan doll.

[Bratzbeerkuchen]

Wow, im impressed - thought healing is already fully automated by addons and u just have to stand there and chat the hell out of some other ppl.

[Warhamer116]

One thing i like...

No shooting/casting/healing thru solid material like trees, unlike in wow where you can unleash arrow hell to players thru solid wood, rock or even ground.

[Vetuss]

so cute <3

[TrueShot2Coul]

Damn you are cute... And such a peaceful voice also xD Gamer chicks FTW

[ohgodryry]

Shin Chan!

[Leafninja00x]

best hair ever! seriously

[InRHead]

thumbs up for your guide! damn i love your hairs :D

[WoWSondo]

dam girl you can talk game to me allday

[kevin15664]

ingame female voice....ahhh so relaxing...why???

[rta5000]

the audio at the beginning scared the shit out of me. loud much.

[johnzantey]

lol, one thing I do is carry a few mana pots with me. Some times you just never know when someone is gonna over agro and pull a truck load of adds. Just so you don't run out of mana as you try healing like everyones bizness!

[ahmedistight]

i wish i had a gf like you..

[MrPhlanders]

You talking bout your posters made me watch an older video...

[TheArtz19]

sorta strange change in tone of voice when showing the game play, but im going to see if there is somehing you have on skill cycles and when to use. although it seems as though you need to know bosses and when dps will ramp up, as i dont know if burst heals will always be able to cover your ass.

[cacheec]

nice hair :D

[stummel12]

i usually wear my pants high

[ashentrent]

i want you

[mohab18]

TL;DL 

[borntolive1]

you got a cute voice :)

great vid btw.

[ShammyThokiz]

Awesome Video, Dropped WOW a few years ago but just picked up RIFT. Nice refresher course for me on healing & could see it helping someone new to the class very much.

[Aleque]

your voice and music taste is sexy

[lokken000]

Tell me something i dont know, o.O?



[Mozmodre]

Also if u can shield ppl when they trying to take fang in pvp would help alot.

[ThatApex]

I like your hair color. And you seem to know game tacts as well. awesome! :D

[BeoProductions]

zomg what is the intro song?!

[TheRcade]

i wanna make love to you

[arachnoherp15]

im not gonna lie u look sexy

[IrradicableOne]

Baby, your voice at 1:05 is a bit too quiet.

[cappakovack]

laggy cammerrraaa lol not a bad vid tho =D

[usasparx]

Sexy as hell.  *High Five*

[MdAttillee]

Pro hear ! :O thats awesome

[ryden781]

[Illrunyou]

Love the vid! I love the raid frames you set up, what server you on?

[HITENKEIRDISH]

your posters were backwards??? I didnt realize I was too busy watching you

[ericdp512]

Your so pretty. :)

[Michael2987]

i cant concentrate when she sounds so hot

[OTTBlindfish]

Where u get the Zombie Ahead?its sick.and how the hell u dyed ur hair so clean>!i want mines green >.<,

[Leudthebearded]

That hair is sooo cool... Insta subscribe!

[QuantasOO]

Love your hair ! awesome!

[esengnal]

lose the fang and the other team will gain lots of points, before you are back there and ready to fight the whole bunch.

[esengnal]

if you take the fang to your spawn point, because your teammates are the sh*t, chances are, you die there too. either because you get killed by a rogue, or because the zerg is coming for you, like it would if you stand near the big trees at the middle. problem is, if you are at your spawn point and this happens, in both scenarios, you wont be able to pick the fang up again. it will spawn at the middle. if you dont have someone there, and you wont have someone there in a random group, you will ->

[patataton]

she has a boondock saints poster

awesome

[MrXDeMiZex]

That shin chan doll is soooo epic :D so is your hair btw :). Subscribing right....now!

[RiftHunter]

Don't advise people to take the fang to their spawn point, you score the LEAST amount of points this way, also its a crappy tactic that is basically only employed by butt-hurt defiant.

you barley even get a point in the spawn with it, its more fun if you try to hold it in the center, where you get 6 points instead of 1.

[PokketProductions]

When your team sucks and can't CC ppl off of you, you'll take the fang to your spawn as well. A slow guaranteed win is still a win =)

[lordscratch]

@PokketProductions Why are you trying to explain this to someone who is obviously too 1337 and would rather lose the entire warfront then show a modicum of intellect by taking the fang to the spawn point. I've seen 'em in Black Garden, grab the fang and run into a see of red names to lose the fang to the opposition and eventually lose the match. When folks don't understand terms like "last resort", and creating "choke points" they're just not gonna figure it out.

This Pro-Utube tip by Osy

[lordscratch]

As to the video, don't tell healers that if they die from being damaged that they caused a wipe. The job of the tank is to keep angry beasties off of the healer. If the tank is fail, the healer will take damage and die and then the group will wipe. Osy's Pro-healer Tip: Refuse to raid with FailTanks.

[An8FoldFunky]

@PokketProductions totally true Pokket - i almost prefer for ppl to always go to the spawn point - unless it's a premade :).  The middle's worth more because it's way easier for the opposing team to gank the fang from it.

[MrTranzformer1]

@PokketProductions I want to have fun and hiding in the back of my base like a fagget i dont find fun it ruins the warfront in my opinion BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORINGGGG

[PiratesVersusNinjas]

@RiftHunter She said "as a last resort", and barley is a plant!

[PiratesVersusNinjas]

@RiftHunter She said "as a last resort", and barley is a plant!

[12345Tpb]

@RiftHunter actually she didnt advise this, she just merely stated the pro's and cons of the strategies used.

Nice work Pokket

[lollnIRL]

@RiftHunter it doesnt matter if you win by a inch or a mile, winnings winning.

[Einherjere]

@RiftHunter agree'd running the shard there is just a waste of everyones time and its a fun killer :) but some ppl will do anything for a easy win :)

[TheReaverOfDarkness]

@RiftHunter I don't know much about all that but I didn't think the winners tend to be the butt-hurt ones.

[Brotherolaf]

She has more video games than me lol.

[seschu01]

Just some comments - From a Raid healer for a long long time and an ex-tank...

Good intro video to healing. You may want t split these up so that they cover the following:

1.) Know your Heals! - A video on the different aspects of healing and how they fit together. Raid vs. Dungeon vs. PvP, etc. This is especially important when looking at mobility healing (such as is needed in PvP) versus positioning healing (boss encounters, RIFTS, etc.)..

[seschu01]

@seschu01

Then the following:

2.) UI - RIFT UI is buggy and needs to have different setups for different healing aspects

3.) PvP healing !!!!!!! So many people fail at this. Especially in RIFT!

4.) PVE healing (dungeons vs. RIFT) As they are different.

Just my .02 but it's a good start.

[Yetze]

PvE is for sissies go PvP

[Suge2k6]

who would have guessed a female playing a healer....

[fing0rz]

you are hot, what server you play on?

[cyberhmoob]

@fing0rz I was gonna ask the same question!

[Vergedood]

Weaboo camwhore

[Crystalballer274]

healing has got to be one of the easiest things in an MMO.. At least pve wise. All you do is sit back and watch the peoples health bars and heal them... I healed in SWG and aion. It's too easy. It only gets hard when its pvp and you got people running at you while your trying to heal.

[angelrinoa23]

Thanks for the guide, my only critique is that it's super annoying when you use that soft, whispery voice when you show footage of the game ._.

[chuckkoro]

Good stuff. Your UI is interesting, and a good healer UI might be a good topic for a future episode. I haven't tried to heal yet in Rift, mostly because I got so used to VooDu and I'm not sure if I can do something similar with the game UI. Mouseover macros maybe?

[Jonffsftw]

Great newbie guide. =) /cheer /clap and all that. Nice to see people being so helpful. Just a side note and I'm quite sure my girlfriend would agree. You can heal us anytime ^_=;

[turkinolith]

Ok, I like this girl because she has both games I've worked on now. :)

[Plxix]

Thank you. This has been very helpful.

[Madix3]

"See Onyxia Raid wipe for reference" -Epic.

[sylgar45]

How can you work on your UI in Rift ? The settings are all fucked up ! Everything is constantly moving around, so annoying as a healer :s

[Turboturtle187]

You're hot

[Recallz1]

Is it wrong I find this woman seriously attractive?

[whowes1971]

@Recallz1 Probably not. Most are women are hot till you marry them.

[Recallz1]

@whowes1971 Hah.

[coffeemasterboy]

Really nice tuto, as well as the episode 1. Can't wait to see the next one. Thanks for the good work :)

[Bawheidbob]

Good video once again , one thing i will have to work on is my ui really going to have to spend some time on that one this weekend.

Off topic : Not a surprise to see a Zombie poster they just get more popular do they not .

[enthaa]

Enjoyed your clear and intelligent healing advise. I am very impressed with RIFTS. It is the smoothest game launch I have seen. My alt is a shaman justicar build for levelling. But I do plan to have a heal spec soon. Look forward to more RIFTS videos from you.

[GlutenPelz]

Great video:). keep it up pokket

[nekrmah]

lol @ vidtips on the protip

[vanmeterd3408]

Great Healing 101 videos Pokket! You should apply for a host job on gamebreaker.tv =P

[LaughterRift]

hehe >.> But no really moar videos please!?

[LaughterRift]

Love it!

I am gonna be cool and hit on you like those other creepers! You so pretty have my babies?

[CatabriNalfarion]

PvP can help raise your situational awareness, and reaction times. These are good skills to have when a raid or even dungeon situation starts to go sideways!

[Neotropic2012]

@CatabriNalfarion

I agree 100%. I always tell people if you want to fine toon your play with your character, pvp. It will increase your reaction time to situations. Trust me, 99% of the time, I am last man standing when Raids/Group fall apart.

[Neotropic2012]

One huge strat I see that NO ONE does or uses. IF, the opposing team gets behind those trees, dont run straight down the center trying to get to them, you wont make it. A couple go 'around' where you would go up to spawn points. They NEVER epexct you coming behind them. I always drop the FC. Go to the side they are on. If they are on right tree, dont come from the left :-/.

[Neotropic2012]

IF the fang drops near the opposing teams side. Trying t grab it is silly. 9 time out of 10 you dont make it back. Best bet is to keep them from picking it up. Since most are up there trying to get it and what not and your team in back (Ranged) they can grab it when it spawns. Sometimes you can pick up from the back and run, but if way too many, can be rough.

[Neotropic2012]

Final note, (Pardon typing, some odd spikes skipping key strokes-keyboard mess up I think). When people say 'Kill the healers' that's just silly. In most cases yes (Other Warfronts/World), they go first. In this case. Does not matter. If you ALL rush the FC they will go down. BTW, good healers rock. Something I could not ever do, lol. To busy focusing on the objective. Stop FC'ers, protect and distract (luring people away from the situation-some people are so dumb sometimes).

[johnzantey]

@CatabriNalfarion Exactly what I did in wow to L2Heal :P Paid off big time!

[Caltu]

Great video :D Great job on showing how the position of the healer can be just as important as watching the cooldowns. Positioning and watching the LoS makes a good healer :D Wondering why your heal isnt working cos you cant see them

GG again Pokket (Y)

[Dreadmore95]

good info video, im still considering if i should buy rift or not, what do you think of the game till now? :D
