About this friendly fire....

.... can it be turned off? That is the one thing preventing me from buying.

Yes, you can set it to no friendly fire and can also set it to endless mode. These were added last patch.

Yes, but it's way more fun with it on. Took me a long while to figure that out, but once I did ;-)

It's way not more fun with friendly fire on. Turn it off. Many of the game's tactics make no sense with friendly fire, like how most healing spells should work.

kinda yes, the friendly fire mechanic felt it feel like its more of a 2 players playing the same game but individually as we would always need to be far from each other. Im happy it can be turned off. We just played the demo and this has lot to give in the community.

I feel it's better with friendly fire on. Some of the spells are balanced around being a risk to yourself and others, so they're overly good with the friendly fire turned off. Hex Bomb and Necro Whirl, for instance. Even in singleplayer if you turn FF off it changes those spells a great deal. Hex Bomb in particular is a menace to you, so you have to weigh its benefit vs the downside that you may blow yourself to bits.

Turn it off, and you have confused players like the youtuber OhRye ranting on video about how it's stupid that Hex Bomb has a "convert damage to healing when affecting yourself or allies" augment, saying how it's dumb because no one would ever use that spell for healing. When in fact it's there so you can eventually get the spell to stop killing you :D

It's the heart, "Harmony bond" in the section where you pick covenants.

it's true, it's much more fun to play with him. To be a good healer you just need to remember a few things about the spells you will use to heal yourself or others.
Never use ice on them.
You can increase the effectiveness of healing by using fire on such spells.
Using acid/poison will increase the damage your target will receive by 10%/20%
Lightning will not have any negative effects on the target, and will even emit sparks at nearby enemies if they are there.
Darkness will lure your ally to the enemy's side (joke)
