Like, if we’re gonna take this semi-seriously, then Guilded Age doesn’t really have a “healer class” per se, and with the supply of potions that used to be requisitioned by the army, it doesn’t really need one. Give enough of that healing juice to them and any one of them can be responsible for the well-being of the others (it’ll probably end up being Rendar).

We don’t know anything about Amorna, either, and what little we know about Beckitt doesn’t speak to healing one way or the other.

There is one elvish-looking person on the right edge and another on the left. Maybe one of them has some healing-related abilities? Or that Goblin does. We shouldn’t assume they can’t heal others just because most Goblins don’t know how to. Also, you may not need a dedicated healer if several members of the group have some more limited healing abilities. Might actually be smarter because what if your healer is incapacitated and needs healing?

To be fair, since the crash and the data loss (not to mention the horrific press! Did you hear about them feeding coders soylent pad thai from the basement during crunch?), it’s been hard to put together pickup groups in Kingdoms of Arkerra. Without easy availability of full parties, the few people that are left were opting for solo-capable classes instead of support. Hurricane tried to rebalance all classes to make them solo-able, but it resulted in all of the classes feeling kind of samey and pointless. I heard Hurricane is planning a “KoA Classic” release that removes the expansion content and returns it to launch with some bugfixes and build adjustments, so maybe there’ll be a revival?
