This probably falls under the issue of 'balance'. For healing - I just
group with them anyway till they are healed, then simply ungroup.

For buffs - you're probably not supposed to be 'helping' those that are so
far under you that you would mess up their exp gains. Course - that doesn't
explain why ANY caster can do it - it lasts FAR longer, and they never have
to be grouped.....but that's likely the explaination anyway.

Our classes is DESIGNED for group stuff - I can also hear the howls now
that bards are killing SoW's left and right, either accidentally or on
purpose with Selo's.
