Ah ok, if this was out of T2A era then nm, I thought this was in T2A just later than our specified Nov '99, which if was the case should maybe be looked on again for balance issues.

I'm sorry, I've implied my my definition of T2A here.
I consider anything after 1999 to basically be UO:R or at least UO:R prep. However, dex based healing wasn't exactly a UO:R launch addition, it came about on 2.23.00 and thus, is still technically T2A.

Dexterity and Healing
In an effort to balance the Healing skill with other methods of healing damage (such as healing potions and the greater heal spell), dexterity will affect the delay for healing and the penalty for finger slips while healing.
* The higher a character’s dexterity, the less time it will take to complete a heal.
* The amount of healing a character loses due to a finger slip will be reduced with a higher dexterity.
These changes are true for healing both yourself and other players.
Pre-Casting was removed the patch before on 1.24.00.

Pre-casting
The bug involving the ability to “pre-cast” spells and then use or take items will be fixed. After casting a spell, the targeting cursor will disappear if the player does any of the following:
* Equips or unequips an item.
* Takes an item.
* Drags an item from their backpack.

I'd like to request a motion on this change, having only played a week this is not the T2A I remember, judging by the pvp statistics of this server I am quite certain that at GM Healing/Anatomy failing in 3-4 hits and healing poison in 18 seconds is not quite era accurate... I do remember mages being able to heal through posion and warriors not being able to, I just don't recall a massive warrior handicap when t2a came out.

Probably wasnt so apparent when everything else moved so slow, and pvp was much slower paced. I really dont see how this is being argued anymore.
That being said, healing kicks butt here. You just have to use trap pouches or something to preemptively apply a bandage, and be good at judging when you are going to need the heal.

Really old discussion that has been confirmed numerous times.
Healing was never touched again until here...

This patch is past our target frame.
