MrTact: The intent with this item set was NOT to introduce yet another l33t arti armor suit that everyone needed to compete. The full set gets +1% to each resist for each piece of armor, or 60% across the board. Arguably, since this is all you can wear (except for a point or two from using a shield), this is a little low, particularly since the suit doesn't grant any additional magical properties. However, I think there's some merit in the cool, unique art for the suit (and it's my intent to make it hellaciously hard to get all the pieces), so that's an achievement in and of itself. Finally, if the suit proves to be too low to be useful, we can always tweak it a little.

MrTact: Oh no! How could we have overlooked that? Oh wait, we didn't :-)

MrTact: Is it possible necro wrestlers don't exist because you can't equip necro books with properties?

MrTact: Uh, no. That would be dumb, now wouldn't it? Give a healing ability that doesn't heal?

In fact, the heal rate is vastly slower than most healers (8 seconds), the amount of healing you get is less than what you get for equivalent healing skill (and there is no Anat bonus), you have to give up your talisman slot for the ability, and while in the form you have no choice whether your heals go off or not, so even if you're down by a point or two, you're going to burn bandages until you're full up.
