Normal. In a good group it shouldn't STAY on you though.

Did you have another healer besides yourself? If it is at all possible,
don't sing hymn during battle. That song was probably your biggest taunt.
If you're the only healer & have to sing it in battle then put your Dirk
away <glares enviously at Cerulia for owning a dirk> and equip your lute.

That's one of the seven deadly sins that make me leave a group. The other 6
are not calling pulls, ignoring medding groupmates, not assisting pullers,
acting like a wizard if your not, not buffing if you can, and being rude to
other players.

Probably the former. Although I'd check to make sure the paladin's got a
decent weapon, since you've got a dirk and are a level up on him. <glares

Bah! By the time you get this you'll be level 11 and I'll go back to being
the list newbie! <glares enviously again>

;^)
