Im a lvl 65 cleric on Rodcet knife, been playing since the inroduction of kunark so i know the class pretty and in my opinion play the class at a fairly high standard.

Anyway heres my question.

When fighting mobs that rampage, the majority of them require a Complete heal chain. If your first in the chain when is the best time to start the complete heal, so you dont get on the mobs rampage list or let the MT die??

Thanks in advance

Calimyr covered rampage in this game mechanics tutorial. Scroll down about 5 posts after the initial one.

It's too bad that info like this hasn't got a formal place to be maintained, like a "Advanced Game Tactics and Tutorials" section on this site.

So basically the way i understood it was that if you are out of melee range you can still be on the rampage list, but will not be hit by it!

Not true at all. Different mobs have different rampage ranges. Most are significantly larger then melee range.

The point of Cal's tutorial on rampage is to prepare for it ahead of time and "stack" the rampage list *before* engaging. The idea isn't to try to get people you don't want taking ramp out of ramp range in the middle of a fight. That's a disaster waiting to happen. Against many mobs, the ramp range is far enough that you would also be out of heal range of the tank. Don't even think about trying that as a strategy. The key is to designate someone as the rampage tank and have that person get agro first so he gets put on the first spot of the rampage list (hopefully).

If you simply have your MT engage while your healers patch and built a CH chain on him, you will guarantee with 100% certainty that one of your healers will be at the top of the rampage list. That's a *really* bad idea.
