This is kind of a rant but I seriously need to get this off my chest, maybe some of you can tell me why DC's seem to underpowered and maybe justify it for me. 'Cause right now i'm just not feeling the love.
I feel that healing agro is way to high, especially with the fact that the the tank's taunts cant pull anything off me and that my self healing is reduced by 40%. I can't do a dungeon without being swamped by monsters and boss fight adds which means I am doing a lot of running around and wasting health potions while my teammates focus on the boss and complain that i'm not healing(if I stop to heal, I die).
The agro is understandable but it needs toned down a bit. And Righteousness has to go or be hugely reduced. I've never played any other healer in any other game with that kind of debuff. DC's get targeted first in PvP and then we are hard pressed to defend ourselves with low dps and hps. I find it hard to not just plain give up when i'm attacked by a TR, because really what am I supposed to do? Out heal them until I get assistance? Impossible. Dps them faster? Not happening either. Be able to do anything while i'm stunned through the whole short fight? Unlikely. It's pretty much like this with most of the classes I fight. I understand i'm a support class but I've played many many mmos and 99% of the time I am a healer and I've never had such a hard time in any game like I do in this one.
Maybe I just suck or maybe i'm missing something. Is there any DC's out there that is doing well and tell me how to get better?
EDIT: Moved to classes section.

I'm a cleric and I'm doing it very well. Try to become Level 50 and get Astral Shield and boom, no probs at healing.
That translates, for me, to almost never, ever, ever, play Neverwinter any more.
Thus, I'm here posting on a forum, waiting for an announcement of at least acknowledgement of a problem, instead of playing the game.
PvP is the same. You totally suck in 1 v 1 PvP; but PvP is a 5 v 5 activity. Get a team.
Important thing to understand is PUGs suck bad.
