Just to show what can potentially happen as a SL I'll tell this little story of mine, I'll also leave to your imagination what would happen had I not been a TKM also....
The other day I participated in a multi-guild raid into an enemy city to destroy bases. Due to a covert BH, fiasco, nightmare thing, the base ended up not getting killed...but that's ok. The battle changed into a major arse-kickin of the enemy troops that showed up and tried to toss us out of their city. These guys finally got enough support together to beat us and several people in my full group took horrific wounds by the end of the conflict. Litterally, some people had like 1 mind or 1 health and one guy had 1 health and 1 mind point left. /snicker So enter me, the SL, I tell my group that I'll heal off those wounds and I hit the button. Instantly the wounds balance across the group and this one guy starts piping off about how he had no wounds and "What the hell did I think I was doing?" blah blah blah. I tell the guy to relax and that I'll take those wounds down to next to nothing and heal anything he has left when I'm done with meds, but there is no pleasing him. Fortunately, the other group members thought it was cool that I could get rid of mind wounds and I was reducing the groups wounds pretty fast actually. (/praise for meditate 4 which does work)
Now, this one guy was obviously a knob. He only needed to calm down for 5 minutes and I would have had not only his wounds, but the rest of the groups wounds under control. However, on the other hand, it is a shame that I had to injure him to heal what needed to be healed. In retrospect of this event, I think it would possibly be better if the wounds balanced toonlythe wounded, or simply transfered straight to the SL. Unfortunately, this further makes this skill useless since the only time it will get used is if the SL has meditate 4 of TKA.
/sigh
Another skill that just needs a whole new use.

Been there done that.
Seems in every group there's 1 guy who complains about that.. Most people are happy to see their wounds slowly fall off, and the TKM's are always happy to help.
I've noticed it's usually a CM/Rifleman who complains tho...

it's a great skill if you have a CM healing mind dmg. he takes mind wounds when he does this, and they love you when you balance it out. that's about the only time that nobody complains. when they get their mind dmg healed.
