I am 40 and I cant even outheal the damage output of a (as close as you can call it at 40-49) perma stealth TR. Not to mention GWF.

What am I doing wrong? I have seen lower level DC's take on 2-3 peeps and stay alive for long periods of time.

What at-wills should I be using and encounters?

I am trying to do def, crit, power is that wrong?

Thanks

    Would be great if you can share your slotted encounters as of that time.. If you're using all-heal rotations like healing word, bastion of health, and sunburst.. then it's not effective as healing depression & righteousness nerfs the amount greatly. The way to closely "outheal" the damage taken is by mitigating damage as much as possible while slowly healing up with regens and HoTs.. Also, dont forget tenacity stat.. it helps in reducing damage and bursts...

    for your case of tanking against 2 - 3 people considerably long, it might be the case of uber-geared character against undergeared ones. It's not unusual for low lvel pvp to have people with rank9-10s slotted + greater/perfect enchants

    Well I am using Sunburst, healing word(sp), and chains right now

    I swear i find it funny that a gwf is allowed to have better survivability and better dps out put then a healer class kind of stupid and short sighted on the devs part.

    Forget what you know of other MMOs, this cleric isnt as good in any area honestly.

    Couple suggestions

    1. Dont worry about it that much, you will gain levels quickly, those players who are twinked will even gain them quicker.
    2. Be as supportive to your team as you can, slap on the buffs/debuffs and heals..
    3. Your not holding nodes against those players, if your team isnt helping you out, just try to cap as much as possible, EVEN at level 60 every other pug match has 3-4 of the players going to home base, it really is terrible!
    4. Im DO specced and being DO isnt that great right now in PVP Domination world. Think about respeccing to AC, I probably will, just waiting on MOD 3 and having fun gearing and booning up my CW so I can get the artifacts later, so only going into matches after my CW dailies are done , so once every couple of days lately.
    5. MOST important, dont get upset at people, relax and do your best, if people get upset at you, try to shirk it off, I think we all have had a few moments, Ive had some HRS give me some really nasty comments for not slotting HW even if we had melees on the team, others have gotten nasty comments for not slotting ashield ect.. so it can go around and around. I just try to do what I think is best for the match. IF it was a coordinated team I would listen to the leader, but pug matches are typically not like that.

    PRe level 50 your limited on what your bringing. I do highly suggest to slot Forgemaster Flame however, it ignores rightoesness right now, so you can self heal nicely with it (tag the HRs/TRs /CWs and run toward them Its amazing those who panic with this.. )

    FF, SB and Chains, you can swap out FF for HW if you want to focus on keeping people up more. Daily use Hallowed Ground then Flame Strike if your 1 vs 1 against someone who you can bring down.

    I dont know what gear you have, but any drops you get, go with HP , Defense as much as you can while you level, might as well be as survivable as possible.

    you're not doing anything wrong. clerics are hopelessly disadvantaged in PVP. the developers need to buff clerics for PVP. It's just totally unfair how easily clerics are stunned and how every opponent seems immune to a cleric's stun powers.

    I have more experience playing cleric than any other character, but I also play wizard and guard fighter, and those characters have no problem whatsoever in PVP. Sometimes they get stunned and lose and sometimes they stun the other guy and win, but it's always a function of skill or whether I can get the jump on someone else before they get me. That never happens in PVP with cleric. I can get the jump on a total **** and he'll still kill me.

    EDIT: Wow. I said no ob with no spaces and they felt the need to edit that out. This message board sarcks donkey balls
