Once you start to get a hang of the game, and have "Heal Bomb". Do as i did lol Get a packer to follow you, you can take on masses of mobs, and simply heal bomb the packer, worked for me when there was no one else to team with!

That is no longer possible

• Healing spells with an area of effect don't heal the player who casts them anymore.
• Healing spells cannot be cast on mektoubs or NPC guards anymore.
