    Seriously? Let me clue you in, have someone do a knockback and then have the rogue DPS them down in 2 seconds... AS didn't help my cleric for anything. Even PVP'ers go get the cleric its easy prey. Clerics in cryptics vision became the worst class in a MMO, they basically became a mage squishy that can barely heal and cant DPS for snot and ticks off all mobs and has to constantly down POTS just to live through an encounter. Oh yes AS is nice for trash mobs, try and lay it down for bos with adds and you just might be toast. Oh if you try to actually benefit from your own astral shield what happens? Oh yes that's right, the adds just lay down stacks of aoe attacks, which some knock you back and prone out of it.


    You do realize AS doesn't cover the entire zone?

    It is not useless in PVE. If you have 2 clerics and stack the astral shields together, your party is basically invincible and does not require GF to tank bosses.

    Partiea didn't require GFs before double shield was widely known either.

    Yes, scream for more Astral Shield Nerfs. In addition, nerf Lashing Blade, Nerf Indominatable, whatever the big Guardian Ability is and nerf Arcane Singularity. Don't matter if it's PvP or PvE nerf. Just do it.

    But if you nerf Astral Shield, DON'T ASK CLERICS TO HEAL A DUNGEON RUN. It's the only semi decent ability clerics get. Thank you.

    -sincerely, a Cleric.

    Nah, don't nerf Astral Shield. Make it so it doesn't stack. Fixed.

    I'm fine with that. But don't nerf it in any other way.

    Sound like somebody lost in PvP.
    Nothing to see here...

    It's pretty ridiculous to ask for a nerf to the only skill that enables clerics to actually heal in pve, well unless your selling potions for a living.

    dude, use some tactics, usually clerics just hold 1 point together with 2-3 of his team mates, get, #3 which forces some to back up and retake it, stomp the cleric get #2, rinse and repeat, even better if they have 2, which means they have 2 less dps people (if you disable 1 of those, your 4 team mates can surely faceroll the opposition). Check this out, I didn't have so much points but am the top killer, got no pts because I'm a roamer killing anyone btw pt #1 and #2 with some capping and killing on #3 when #2 isnt ours which is the case most of the time bec of 2 priests. Notice how low their kills are- it's because they only have 3 people who do damage, if i cut 1 off, my remaining 4 team mates can have no problems killing those 2 quick, then focusing down the cleric.

    w/o AS i can cheese clerics with 2 skills. I usually go cheese when opponent has clerics which enables me to take it down so my team can easily kill the opposition (they have no support with him dead and 1 less dps slot bec of having the cleric). If it's a tough tanker cleric I go full stun to completely disable him. Also helped that we had a good cw, he stole lots of last hits from me i must say, with that giant falling ice thing. XD

    ^ Astral shield stacking don't matter in PVP since it's a team game. Astral shield stacking is broken in PVE and you know it.

    Cryptic has always had trouble dealing with stacking buffs...

    This is definitely an ability that doesn't need to stack.
