questing is draining the life out of me. questing by myself doesn't help either, but i feel like doing them by myself is the quickest way to get them done.

Q:1)Can i get by without doing any quests? if so, is grinding faster than quest completion?

lvl 26 priest and all i've been doing was questing :/

Questing is the fastest way to level, since questing in this game is basically just grinding anyway with a larger exp award at the end.

I know how you feel though. Its really easy to level, but its also horribly boring.

I can't help but feel that leveling as a healer is simply always an exercise in patience.

Grab a reapeatable BAM quest and a party and do that, its faster (assuming the party is decent) and I find BAM fights more fun than solo questing.

ya i'm really looking forward for BAMs.

If you're not enjoying questing them you picked the wrong class for you.

I LOVE questing just because I like owning mobs so hard as a slayer. The trick is to play what you enjoy destroying things with.

Sadly, the two healers kill extremely slowly compared to everyone else, so you almost need a quest partner to get them done at a reasonable pace.

On the other hand, playing as a healer in a group is extremely fun.

Yeah I would encourage you to do lots of dungeons, lots of BAM group quests and tell yourself that at the end of the grind, healing will be tons of fun at endgame in both PvE and PvP. If you can quest with a friend. I found it 100% more enjoyable even on my archer.
