Nerfing the clerics Hammer of Fate by 40% damage is a game killer for me

They said the 40% damage nerf was because it was way too powerful, and yet it sucked damage wise in PvE and was needed in PvP just so the cleric could get kills, and even then it often would only drop a level 60 player by 1/3rd or less of their health if they had good defense. Since I only really play PvP anymore, this change is an absolute game killer for me.

Combine this with the fact that we have no stuns of any worth whatsoever, unlike ALL the other classes, nor do we have any cc immunity, and this means that the only way to live through an encounter with any other class is to attempt to heal through it. Not actually try to kill them, cause it won't happen. And, FYI, it's impossible to heal through a fight if you're not even able to touch the ground because of constant CC bombardment.
like I said, this will be the game killer that will get me to completely stop playing... I'll try PvP after the changes but chances are really good that I quit
in six hours, when the Fey Wind changes go live I think
CW - can time his dodge, avoid 2 of the daily hits
TR - can go into stealth, not get hit at all
GWF/GF/DC - too tanky to notice any dmg from it.
its their only CC immune skill at the moment, which they can use to escape or kill a badly injured rogue/cw on the run.
trying to get a GF to take damage from it 1 on 1 was pretty much impossible... it was also blocked a lot and now with the nerf its made worthless as the other mass attacks will do more damage, and hammer of fate was really needed to finish off those clerics were fighting as you get them to about 10% of their health and its hard to ever finish from there
I mean if they prevent the other classes from being immune to some of the damage then ok, I would understand a need for the nerf.
Adding to the list above: GWF can go Unstoppable at the right time and become immune to at least one of the damage.
7 days until it goes live. 7 days notice of the change at all. 0 chance of it being retracted.
GG game over.

consider me added to thie list as well and thats a big F...U.. to cryptic
The def buff during this skill seems bugged, because i got hit with a 22k TR daily twice, 1 during Hammer and the other without, i still got hit the same.
Next whether is lag or whatever, it doesnt always save me from chain CC like its supposed to. Coz its supposed to be my one and only chance to get away from being chain cc to death.
The damage can be dodge....... not once....... but as many as possible even blockable. And as said by many..... its not even a real killer spell T_T.
Why are you nerfing clerics again?
ok so its cool for them to pretty much make us holed into one category so it's heal or gtfo please. clerics didnt need nerfs they needed buffs we have terrible survival rate our defense is **** and even if we dont die in a rogues encounter or cc train our self heals are a sick joke. now were forced to heal only which btw not as good as potion spam. congrats PWI way to destroy a class clearly you have no idea how to do anything with clerics.
and on a pve side not we constantly get aggro from anything and everything the sunburst nerf helps alot to thanks.
Of all the things that get complained about and desperately need balancing, this one makes the list? I don't even know, man. I know people rip on devs with silly stuff like "omg do they even play the game lol"...but seriously guys, you're making me wonder.
truth i say!!!
cryptic should delete the cleric class and replace it since they seem intent on making us the crappiest of them all.
Count me in on the list of people unhappy with this change.
The cleric needed buffs...nothing should have been reduced.
It's funny how the Devs already stated that Clerics suck in PVP, then they nerf the one semi-damaging power we have left.
It's going to be **** near impossible to find a cleric for GG runs if this happens.
Here's a thought. give us back our self heal to 100% !!!
Think there's almost no clerics in pvp now? wait till this goes into effect. We can't heal, can't do damage, get no pts from pvp as it is, and u want people to continue playing ? What ever happened to that "We know we gimped clerics in pvp by no longer granting assists for healing, we will make it up to them at a future time" post. Oh yeah. Thanks. We appreciate the love.
What's next ? Clerics won't be allowed to equip weapons or armor in pvp ?
simply pathetic
Beside my cleric I also play a TR and a GF. Compared o this both classes, cleric is so weak.
to step it up we actually need attacks that make tene's and perfect vorpals worth getting... you can tene's and vorpal clerics up all you want and they will suck compared to any other class
Where are all these nerfs coming from? Or rather why? Are the devs basing their changes on those overpowered enchantments or what?
those over powered enchantments never get nerfed and they really should be.... as it stands now they nerf and nerf and nerf classes and abilities to the extent that you can't create a build and expect it not to be totally destroyed by their nerfs, and if you can't trust your build to not be totally screwed up beyond all hell you certainly can't trust that you can spend money on your character to build it up for its build... net effect, this game is totally unplayable ... its really funny that every class was supposed to have 3 paradigms to choose between and we never got those, and the players made builds that at least were able to differentiate ourselves slightly from others and cause of it they choose to nerf the abilities that made even that little bit of differentiation possible.... they can go to Hell.
Seeing other parts of the class changes I've started to question Cryptics ability to balance classes.
I guess they are just unlucky when thinking.
huh what does this have to do with the topic lol
i doubt there are any pvpers that have ever said "**** these clerics are OP they need to be nerfed to the ground"
good one bud
