What are people's go to healer for Tier 9? I've been using the Broodmother Talon since Tier 6, and I have the Ice Flail as well, but I was wondering if there is a good healer for Tier 9 or if I should be okay..

My staple weapons to bring into battle for healing are the pquill and reviver of the lion. I also like to use aftershocks or skelly scroll for constant heal per turn. As far as weapons with heal for T9, the large gutting knife is very good and should be cheap now that the pylots are back. I think the rift staff has some healing at T9 and definitely the bluud wand is a straight up healer. While the weapon choices will vary based on your opponents, definitely the reviver and pquill can always be taken into battle for any fight.

[edit] Forgot about prodigy staff as well

Thanks. I'll take any advice I can get. My current weapon set is:

Bludgeon of Mass Extinction, Broodmother Talon, Gate Keeper Collar of Slavery, Rapier of Error, Recycle Blaster, Sierrac Basal Ice Flail, Smoldering Slaglord Gauntlets and Twisted Rift Blade.

I'm still trying to decide the best way to modify them as well...

My favorite mod is the parched baguette that has 10% chance to activate a blessing that protects against freezing. Blessed armor is also very good as it also has 10% to protect against freezing, but it defends two of all icons instead of adds more attack and also prevents stealing. Then you have singed baguettes that add slightly more attack that parched baguettes but add an 8 icon curse to your opponent instead of a blessing. There are also critical strike mods that will increase your chance of scoring a critical hit. These are really the only mods I use (Parched, blessed armor, crit and singed in that order) on all my weapons. Sometimes I will swap them out for defensive baguettes but that's on a rare case basis.

For a healer why don't you consider the Reborn Icewand of Doom? It will give you 10% constant heal + 24 attack icons and some defense. Just not sure if it still has a freezing chance or not. I don't know if there are any other multi turn healers at 10% for tier 9. For once per battle Phoenix Quill (100% heal) is an absolute need. Then Reviver of the Lion (90% heal), Amulet of Drakkonis (50% heal with a low chance of making 100% heal) or The One Ring (1000hp heal). One of these will make a great addition to a set. Can also mention Bluud Wand but I got some -5% heals when I tried it in the past, so I'm not sure if it is that a great choice. Some good attacker with nice heal are the Large Gutting Knife (30-34 icons + 7% heal), Prodigy Staff (25 water icons + 7-10% heal and a great included curse), and if you can find one and the sP to spend, the Blessed Trident of the Banished One, that will most likely be useful for all your present and future sets once you get it.

About scrolls, Terra Focujin (8 AP, 10% heal + 4 att) or Holy Deluge (14 AP, 10% heal + 8 att & 6 def) are the top multi turn healers. Ocean Currents (15 AP), Skelly Scroll (14 AP) and Soothing Current (6 AP) will heal 8% but only the last one is easily attainable. For 7% heal, which is also very good, you can find the Aftershocks (15 AP), the Feather Explosion (20 AP), the Swift Blade (20 AP) or the Triple Threat (18 AP). The first 3 will give you good extra attack and the last one some solid defense icons.

Good luck with your battling :)

Thanks for that info, I'll keep some of those in mind. I do plan on buying the wands to make the Reborn Icewand of Doom

Glad I could be of some help
