It was wild and it was woolly (insert mammoth joke here), but it was fun.

Jeff Woleslagle and John Hoskin were fortunate to sit in on a presentation by Gaute Godager, Game Director and Erling Ellingsen, Product Manager discussing Age of Conan's raids and siege combat.

I will just say one thing on Raids:

Healing is different than anything you have ever played. Get ready to re-learn how you play in large groups.

Excellent point! Healing isn't point and click. For the most part it is directional, which means that healers will need to move around to make the most of their mana and non-healers will need to pay attention or die.
