Home » Site News » EVE Evolved: The healers of EVE
The holy trinity of tank, healer and damage-dealer is present in every MMO, including eve online isk. While most MMOs dedicate these roles to specific classes, ships in EVE can do all three at the same time. When running missions solo, for example, a ship will need to tank incoming damage, repair it and deal damage themselves. Setting up a ship for solo PvE becomes a balancing act between the three roles. Too little tank and you will find yourself in trouble, but too little damage and you will take forever to kill NPCs.
As part of a gang, however, remote armour repair and shield transfer modules allow pilots to specialize into a traditional healer role. Rather than having each player repair their own damage, it can be much more effective to have a dedicated medic ship to repair anyone that gets shot at. There are even specialized ships for would-be healers in EVE, from entry-level cruisers to advanced Tech 2 Logistics ships and massive capital ships. Medic ships can be an effective part of any gang, whether you are tackling a tough level 4 or 5 mission or engaging in large-scale gang PvP.
