As i look more into creating my end game build, i seem to be more turned on by bows. My primary function in every MMO has always been the support guy in parties. Im happy that classses dont matter, this is wonderful. But heres where my thought process dances;

By lvl 15 i want to go from bow to a melee weapon.
I was debating resto staff but the more i debate the more id rather use a dagger for up close. (I generally rather keep everyone off me, but that obviosly would be hard and someone would sneak in.)

So i guess what im saying is, is templar w/o resto staff a dwarfed healer? Or as being a healer with ranged weapons and a resto as secondary the most optimal healer?

Thoughts?
