If you want to play a healer in Project Gorgon, you will be using Priest and focusing on keeping your group stable during long fights. Healing is strong in dungeon content, but it requires smart positioning, mana control, and awareness. A good healer prevents wipes before they happen, not after.

Priest works best in group play where damage is steady and afflictions are common. Your job is control and stability, not burst damage.

What A Healer Actually Does In Combat

Healing in Project Gorgon is steady and planned. You are watching health bars, afflictions, and enemy pressure at the same time. You do not spam abilities blindly.

Your priorities in most fights are:

Keep the tank stable during sustained damage
Remove afflictions quickly
Maintain buffs when safe
Contribute damage only during safe windows

If the healer panics, the group usually follows.

Positioning As A Healer

Positioning is one of the most important skills you can learn. You should almost always stand behind the tank and outside frontal enemy attacks. If you take aggro, you must react immediately.

Never stand too close to enemies unless mechanics force you to. Giving yourself space buys you time to react. It also reduces the chance of being interrupted.

A healer who stays alive provides more value than one who tries to squeeze in extra damage.

Managing Mana Over Long Fights

Mana management separates average healers from strong ones. If you overheal constantly, you will run dry before the fight ends. You need to heal with intent.

Do not top everyone to full health every second. Learn how much damage enemies deal and pace your healing around that rhythm.

Saving mana for dangerous phases is often more important than healing small chip damage.

Healing During Dungeon Pulls

Dungeon pulls are where many healers struggle. When multiple enemies hit the tank at once, damage spikes quickly. You must anticipate that spike.

Before a pull:

Make sure your mana is high
Be in position behind the tank
Be ready to cleanse afflictions

During the pull:

Focus on stabilizing the tank first
Cleanse dangerous afflictions early
Avoid drawing aggro

Once the pull is under control, you can help with damage if it is safe.

Common Healer Mistakes

New healers often make the same errors.

Standing too close to enemies
Burning all mana early
Ignoring afflictions
Trying to deal too much damage

Healing in Project Gorgon rewards patience. You are managing the pace of the fight. Slow and steady wins more runs than flashy play.

When To Add Damage As A Healer

You are not required to be idle between heals. During safe moments, you can contribute damage. The key is knowing when it is safe.

If the tank is stable and no one is under pressure, use your downtime wisely. If damage spikes suddenly, immediately switch back to support.

Your main responsibility is survival of the group.
