We had massheal packs at 1 time and took them out.Kinda
pissed off the clerics having 1 of their more usefull spells so easy for non-clerics to get so many so fast.

As a big fan of playing clerics, I would be against mass heal packs. Most of our abilities can be bought in stores anyhow, at least leave us one little something to hold over everything else.

Yeah but adding 10-packs of MH wouldn't hurt clerics more than they already are, it only takes a few minutes to buy a few hundred scrolls, anyway. Adding 10-packs would just save mouse buttons  |

Very well, then. As an elder cleric, I hereby declare a jihad on mouse buttons!
Don't mess with me. I'll rally the other two clerics out there and we'll cast useless epic spells at you.
My will be done.

one option would be to make items like mass heal and cleric/druid Sorc/Mage items only sold by merchants that only sell to those classes. then make a few of the items available in the general shops but remove the tick for infinite supply. Now that really would save mouse buttons. ;D
you would need to have a script to refresh the merchant every so often so other players arent too inconvenienced, but not too quickly so that people dont just wait longer to prep for an area. It would also make supply and demand an issue.
And spell casters might even end up with a use for craft wand, brew potion and scribe scroll!
Just imagine if you had to pay a cleric for the 50 mass heals people carry ?
Mwahahahaha that has appeal!

One option if its possible to create/script would be to create mass cure crit scrolls. Remove mass heal or make it only available to Clerics and druids from a specific merchant.
People could then use the mass cure crit instead of the mass heal. This would put some of the balance back into Clerics, and at the same time make the game more epic!
After all how easy is it to be able to cast mass heal, and when you are walking around with 50 or 60 scrolls, its not really fair on the level 40 Cleric. Imagine the party dialogue:-
Cleric :- its ok guys i have mass heal prepared and 10 scrolls were good to go!
Monk/Rogue :- Yeah i got 60 mass heal scrolls lets go!
Rog/Wiz/AA:- yeah i got 30 scrolls on me!
Fighter/WM:- yeah and if anyone runs out of scrolls let me know i got another 50 scrolls.
Cleric:- bites back tears, another party where hes virtually redundant!
How often do you see conversations like that. the answer is you dont as Clerics arent generally that useful on HG. Lots of the Buff spells can be cast or mimic'd with items, potions or scrolls, removing mass heal scrolls altogether or at least restricting the numbers of them could and would make a huge difference to the way HG is played.

I can understand the gripe against having mass heal scrolls available for purchase in the stores, especially now that the economy has once again become inflatted by players giving themselves exorborant amounts of money.
I will speak with Forsaken about removing them from the Item Merchant, as I am in favor of the idea. Clerics should have purpose.

Just to note, you can do something like Rhaz's and have enough MH scrolls without ever transferring cash from another char, there's enough loot in Rhaz's to fund it.... so it's not necessarily just that people trans cash to themselves.
Not really on the main topic at hand, just wanted to point that out.
