Nope, no need. Me can literally tank everything.

L23? Stop talking, you have no idea what's coming. Oh look everyone - he can dodge ONE mob at a time...:p
Oh look, me can dodge half a dozen dungeon mobs + a boss at a time:

Also don't be silly, me know what's coming & it'll be easier (by release) especially since the Cleric aggro should be fixed by then & as me won't be using gear several levels lower than me.

The nerf (even if overdone) actually indicates a direction they're taking - they don't want a healing class - my guess is they want to balance endgame to use of the $15 hp stone sold in the store.
Most people, if they don't want to pay more than the cost of a sub for a f2p game ($15 a month, you'll use way more than one hp stone a month), should be worried by this.
As a level 50 cleric I can tell you, you don't know what's coming. There's one boss that's easier than the Blackdaggers in the game and he's the first boss in The Frozen Heart (Lvl 45) and he's easy because he spawns no adds, has no gap closer, and has long cast times on hi spell (a low damage line knock up).
Everyone else spawns nothing but charging stunning elites and archers. That's a lie the Abolleth Overseer at the end of Spellplague Caverns only spawns crowds minions on a small shrinking island. He's easy unless he bugs out and chooses not to resurface. But a good Control Wizard can handle all the adds. The actual boss does nothing but shrink the platform so there's nothing to kite or run from.
He spawns tons of adds and snare you so you can't run AND he is a caster, launching acids everywere, in case you're trying to escape.
cleric lifetime : 15s after the first heal...
I do not believe this will happen, it would only scare people away and hurt their game.
Fixed that for you.
It seems to me that Cryptic want to kill off the Cure bot. Getting smacked down to <20% health and just spammed back to full isn't the way they want to go. To me it looks like Cleric heals & potions (at higher levels) are there to keep players patched up until they can get to a campfire to fully heal.
And you know what? I like it. Healers that can contribute more to the party than just support are a welcome change and hopefully will make it so they don't get cast aside later in the games life when other support classes get introduced.
/RP'ing depressed cleric
The cleric in BW2 wasn't a PURE healer already - clerics already just added to the mix in keeping the team alive...there was no need to do what they did, given heal potions also get less effective as you level, unless it's to make the game so punishing at later levels that we buy their stupid $15 health stone just to survive.
As for the self-heal nerf - clerics now have to pot far more than any other class in this game.
Guessing you're going to just love endgame then - nobody will be playing one of those nasty clerics with the direction the devs are taking. Enjoy buying the health stone!
the whole healing hate is messed up at the moment. especially when a boss taking 2 to 4k damage per second from the party decides that a healer that healed for 1k every 30 seconds is much more hated the scale of damage to healing threat is busted.
I sure as hell will still be playing a cleric end-game. I did not find any of the issues game breaking or did they lessen my love for the class. They certainly made it more challenging, but if I wanted an easy game then I have plenty of other options.
Do not misunderstand me, I do hope the devs make some changes to agro and I think the 75% reduction to self healing is a bit too extreme (50% stated on Righteousness is a lie), but I still thoroughly enjoyed my experience playing the cleric class. I rarely needed to use potions and when I used them it was almost always between combat to top myself off. I ended up having to delete many stacks of potions because I just had an over abundance.
the way they should fix this is have it so when your healing someone else you receive 50% of the heal back on yourself but when healing YOURSELF directly you get 100% of the effect. PvP players may whine about this but thats because they aren't building themselves for PvP and expecting to beat a cleric that is built for PvP (if your going to be a PvP player don't plan on playing PvE make 2 characters and build one for PvP if you wanna do that)
the real problem is the fact that the power stat isn't adding to healing and leaves a players heal stuck around level 25 which becomes a problem at level 50 when the level 30 potions are healing for more than you and generating NO threat when you use them.
I also experienced the lack of power contributing to +healing, but it did contribute to + damage.
I completely agree something needs to be done with our ability to self heal. It was a running joke that the "healer" was the only one that was having to pop pots to stay topped off. I can see the unbalance in pvp, but they could do something like WoW did and make Righteousness change based on if you were in a pvp zone or a pve zone.
problem solved in pvp.
now you can boost the heals for pve side and not worry about pvp being OP because that class that doesn't get that feat isn't built for pvp and thats their fault.
As a former competitive gamer in numerous FPS and MMORPGs me can tell you that you be underestimating my power & that my anti aggro protocols be fully operational (Me purposefully dragged everything for those videos. The chat me had with Malus should've made it obvious me was playing around).
