Hope to hear from you some time, I'm a long-time healer in both MMO PVE and PVP.

After years of playing MMO's pretty well using ASDW I took a leap and went to SDFE a couple weeks ago. The most painless way to transition is to probably roll a level 1 of the equivalent or same class you're currently playing, and level it up on the new scheme until about level 25. This comes at the expense of your time of course. The setup I'm using: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/822/inquisitorinterface.png/ I have so much flexibility I'm not even sure to do with some of Shift+[X] commands available still. 4 and Shift+4 are reserved for my channeled and AOE heal respectively.

On mine? The headband was part of her hair. I agree, Sage helmets haven't been very great so far. The most I would dare to hope for is a decent circlet.

I think this is a great early game solution for healers (female): http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/851/elegantdress.png/ It's the Elegant Dress + Civilian Pilot Belt social armor. I haven't found a better pair of matching gloves yet, wouldn't mind getting rid of that elbow bulge.

Scheme that has served me well in every MMO I've touched since EQ... Priority Functions/Abilities: 1-5, F, G, R, T Second Tier Functions/Abilities: Shift 1-5 Shift-F,G,R,T Z, X, C, V Third Tier Functions/Abilities: Shift-Z,X,C,V Ctrl 1-5
