In past MMOs healers have been pretty weak. In some of the screenshots I've seen recently, healers were up front helping melee creatures. Are the frail and fragile healers slipping into a new role here? Should they?

I prefer to see healers not take a front line stand. Of course, I like my rougues to be great at melee, so what do I know?
Anyhow, I don't have an answer to your question, because the GameAmp site was the first I heard of this game, but this looks interesting to me.

Well from the look of the classes in the healer arch type, some may be more or less suited to front line combat that others. Some of my guesses are
Bloodmage - Sounds like a self sacrificing type and more likely to be a hide in the back type. Possibly some curses, or plague skills that may be touch related.
Cleric - Sounds more like a holy crusader, you know the type...smack the monster on the head with his scriptures, heal by touch.
Disciple - Sound like a back line type, longer cast times but more powerful skills. Mabye some meditation realted skills and hand combat type.
Shaman - Barbarian healer, strong protection spells and skills to stay alive in the melee.
Any othe Guesses?

I think it would be wonderful for healers to step into a new role. I mean they have been the ones that stick way in the back hiding from the main battle b/c they can't stay alive if they don't. It would be nice to play a healer that didn't have to hide all the time.

Yeah, I think it's kinda ironic that the healer is usually the first to die. Being of the healing persuasion, you would think that the first person they would heal would be themselves, or perhaps they would carry some heavy armor or self protection spells to insure their own survival. Just seems like a no brainer to me.

Whenever I play a healer I've always made sure I made it out alive. If anyone is going to survive it should be the healer. They are usually the ones who can rez.

aye, in EQ1 I played a cleric. If things didn't look so good the tank said RUN, and they would all make sure I got out all right so I could come back and rez.
But I havn't really looked into the healers. My focus is the bard class atm. And maybe a tank type for later use. But I do hope that the healers are more active and do more things.
