Devoted Cleric - Not a Real Class Anymore

I hope the devs realize the position they put us in. It's worse in PvP than it is in PvE but still, the class is boring, repetitive, and just not fun if we die a second after AS goes off. Where are our other heals and buffs? Please tell me all the other DC out there aren't using BoH to heal, or healing word, in a T2 party or CN. The best setup currently is AS, SB, FF and Divine Armor for saving your life, the only other heal savior we got.

We're almost always 3rd or under in PvP, we get roflstomped when shield goes off, CW and TR almost infinite stun you while GF push you miles away and deal half your HP. I want either righteousness removed or nerfed down to 10% plus other healing skills buffed and reduced cooldowns, or to increase the duration of AS by 3-4 seconds and buff healing word and sunburst. I have a 13k DC and have solo healed CN multiple times, only because I know how to dodge and get rid of red wizards but without the two control wizards in your party you will get destroyed. PvE is pretty bad, but PvP is terrible.

    PvP is hoorible not because of how you play DC, but because is rewarded very low: a loss is around 184 glory... a win is 350 glory (at level 60).
    I confronted the score of my guildmates (200 on loss, 700+ on win), and really doesn't matter if I make a good score by supporting or capturing bases, if I make a low number of kill my game is low rewarded. That's just plain bad.

    As for the combat itself I have not really an issue, still take 3 people to bring me down without shield, but since I can't directly kill other player if not for pure luck the kill score is pretty low.

    With GFs having 35% more aggro and the healing aggro fixed, we're not getting as swamped by adds as before. I guess that was the idea the developers had.

    It would be nice to have a boost to our pure healing powers since we are stuck with a very limited choice. I would also have loved to see a different AS nerf; e.g. lowering the dmg. reduction, but keeping the 15s duration.

    And yea, the way rewards are given out in PvP is a bit of a letdown to us. But the PvP gear is really cheap, both in gold and time it takes to grind it, so I don't see why you'd care much about the glory given.
    We are not designed to outheal stupidity!

    I'm healing better, and for more now than I did before patch. Astral Shield on 100% uptime is not the only way to heal in this game.

    I specc'd for using Sacred Flame, and temp hp bonus's, and I am pushing 5-9kheals with just Sacred Flame. I rarely use Astral Shield in T2's, unless the group is bad.

    My normal set up is the same for pvp and pve, I swap out Astral Shield for Bastion of Health in good T2 groups.

    Sacred Flame, Astral Seal at-wills
    Sunburst, Healing Word, Astral Seal for PvP-swap out Seal for BoH in good PvE groups.

    Still using hollowed ground, and swap for Divine Armor for the health in critical fights in PvP.

    Loving my cleric just as much as I always have.

    Still need to get rid of Righteousness

    Sounds like for PvE your not bringing along any tanks with you to CN, now that tanks are fixed you dont need to really on the wizards to save you.
