Is chiv useless for healing/curing on a red stealth archer?

and if so, what should I use for healing? healing/anatomy? or magery?

It seems to work fine since you can gain karma by fighting monsters. Just have to every so often bash them. Chiv heals fast but need a good suit for mana regen and 4/6 casting to be extremelt effective. Can work well w/ stealth archer if you have an uber bow (heavy w/ SSI mods and balance for pots?) and will not rely on specials to kill since you will be splitting mana between heals and attacks.

I would not go w/ magery since you would have to carry regs or get a LRC suit. Woul dbe a pain nd a waste of mana.

Good old anat and heal works very well if you have high dex.

You should consider running ninjutsu on the temp since it seems to be the flavor of the month and works well in PvP especially for archers. You can animal form for quick getaways and i believe there is a form that accelerates healing as well.

Good luck and I hope I do not become another victim.
