The primary healer has to concentrate more than almost any other player in the party except for perhaps the main tank. In battle, about 90% of my attention is on those precious life bars. More than once I'm found myself so intent on the health of my party that I don't even realize I'm under attack.

I've rolled a Priest, and started playing her a bit with some other of the Lurker 'babies'. One of the things I"ve found quite hard to wrap my brain around is that I'm not really supposed to attack things...but my job is to now watch lifebars and make sure everyone's is 'green'. ;)
It really feels wierd, standing a little out of combat, watching everyone's health. However, I've also (already, and she's only 16) died from watching everyone else's health, and not mine. Something was munching on me from behind. *L* I'm learning, and it's quite a bit of fun.
