hiya walt and all i can tell you is i solo'ed alot at that lvl, but this is
important, if you are the sole healer of the group, you must first know if
they want you in melee or healin capassity. If you are the healer then you
have to tell yer party that the fighting and downtime go accourding to yer
manna, plain and simple!! if they want you to heal then they have to wait
for yer manna to be at full unless its a lil thing that they can do without
you, in that case you med while they fight. you will find that you are in
higher demand when you get to higher lvls. just be patient and let them
know right from the start that you may not be the leader of the group but
the fighting does run on yer time, not theirs, as you are the one healing,
and if they want you to melee then they should not expect heals at critical
moments
