There are people other than Mujin that passed 8th? I'm impressed (and confused). We still have zero 8th• healers, right?

Thanks Lori, I'll add Giga to the list.

Oh yeah, that reminds me... I didn't specify that I was talking about the 7th and 8th circle fighter tests... whoops, sorry about that.

We might as well add 7th and 8th circle healers to the list as well then.

I really don't know which healers are in 7th or 8th circle. Any assistance is welcome.

I don't think we ahve any 8 • healers, we don't have that many 7 •, 10 maybe or 15?

Wow, no 8th• healers huh?

I guess the large gap between fighters and healers may be due to the fact that it is easier for fighters to rankwhore than healers. As well as the huge slaughter rate induced by healer trainers.

Another reason of the unbalance is healers inability to utilize their proximus to their advantage, perhaps by running the creatures as they heal Glory. Which devalues some of their ranks, thus making them seem to be lower level in the healer tests. *shrug*

Another perspective is that the eighth circle healer test is just ridiculously hard.

It's not that the most powerful healers necessarily have less ranks than their fighter peers, rather that the tests aren't made equal.

Expect Gurgi to pass very soon, and Natas should if he bothers to take it. I am not that far off myself, but I prolly wont end up testing every week since I dont play much.

That was what my post was attempting to point out.

IMHO, if the fighter test was 'supposed' to be balanced with the Healer test, only Mujin should have been able to pass it.

Why... ? Mujin has a ton of ranks. Doesn't mean they all go to testability.

In fact, for her training she's really ill-equipped for tests her level. As far as the tests go, for now I'd put my money on Natas for the win. Though he hasn't had the time to take them yet.

I guess my problem is my sheer naiveté of how strong fighters really are.
