Well, if you look from the mage's point of view...

You get free SP.

yeah yeah~ that's wat i'm getting at... Free SP for them at the cost of MY SP..

why are their SP more precious than mine? XD

oh well...

I tried this, but you didn't heal me immediately afterwards =/ So I figured you didn't want to. :(

If you want to have a hard hitting machine that burns ~70 SP every second, you gotta do something to help ~.~ Otherwise settle for the less hard hitting mode of lv 1 skills unless the mage is willing to spend a lot on SP stones.

i was hoping some clerics would back me up

i thought i'm helping a lot already by healing whenever a mob atks...

i guess in a smaller party its not too bad.. but in a party of 5... its too hectic..

...I'd have one hand on the F1-5 keys and the other on the skills. When I use a cleric the shortkeys for all the wonderful spells are bound to the arrow keys ^^

I know what you mean, but having a mage Life Tapping themselves just after killing a mob isn't too bad ~.~

=/ i've only got 2 hands.. if i hv 1 hand on F keys, the other on skills (1-5) i hv no hand for the mouse...

i'll always move the screen around coz ppl are always running everywhere...

oh well anyway.. i still cant get my head around this life tap skill XD

- runs away to lunch -

I appear to be the only person who has one hand on WASD and 1-5, and the other other hand on the mouse.

And Icy, I neglected to heal you sometimes because you tapped about every 30 seconds ._.

I usually tell clerics to not heal me when I use life tap, I just use an HP stone. But if a mage is using life tap in a KQ, they must be very unprepared <.<

I usually have one hand by tab and 1-4, and the other on the mouse

yeah hmm i think its very dangerous to use lifetap in KQ!

this guy was using it AND getting hit by mob (he didnt last very long needless to say).. i had to tell him to watch his own life... and he did which was good (he ran instead of tanking the mob expecting me to heal him)

so does most mage use lifetap? its only more recently that i've gotten into parties with mages that use lifetap... and i dont often party with mage..

Some do, it can be helpful.. it helps you fit in afew more attacks. I don't use it often, only sometimes.
