Hello everyone,

I have decided I would like to try a melee class and it will be a shadow knight. I have noticed some people use a cleric merc for healing while others use a warrior for added dps. I wanted to know is their a clicky or item I can buy, do a quest for or some how obtain that will allow me to heal the warrior merc?

Tank mercs are overpowered at lower levels, so even melee characters hire them to be effectively powerleveled for the first 60-70 levels. At those levels tank mercs do just fine without heals, at least in older zones. Then, when the tank merc starts falling behind, you can switch to a healer merc.

Personally, I don't like this approach since it feels like I am not playing my class and I don't feel character improvement from accumulating gear, levels and AAs, but to each his own.

P.S. If your screen name indicates your primary class and you are a Necro, keep in mind that SKs have fairly low DPS at first. It gets better as you improve your character, but at first it feels painfully slow after playing a DPS class. Make sure to stock up on clarity and haste potions :)
