Devoted Cleric Needs Buff

Hey everyone I just wanted to write this because I feel that DC's need a buff. I am not complaining because I do fare well in every aspect but I feel that DC's do need a little bit of a buff. I think the heal debuff on ourselves should be just a tad bit less. 40% is a bit too much especially in PvP but not so much PvE because you should be taking aggro as much with a party. Another note is to make DC's heals have a slight less cooldown because for me it seems that my skills take forever to come back in time. Finally, maybe increase the scaling of stats like strength and con or dex etc etc. Just an idea. I'm not complaining I am quite happy with Clerics now but they could be a little better.

Every single offensive skill which lays a targeting splat is both not using armor penetration for damage calculation and not proccing Repurpose Soul.
Others have various bugs.
Lets stop DR from working on TRs because hey, they are DDs anyway.
But anyway, how is Arpen not affecting your healing? Unless you play the healbot role ofc...
Every heal that comes from famage you deal suffers from it.
I want this class in NW.
Divine Fortune passive is broken for example. At least last time I checked it and I have not read anything in patch notes that it was fixed. It doesn't work at all. Non damaging abilities (Healing word, Bastion of health etc.) create 0 Divine power while you slot this passive.
Actually I've been leveling up my DC over the past month and I've consistently used Divine Fortune when I solo. It's technically working fine. However it only works when the target is damaged enough to be actually healed. Otherwise the ability goes off, heals nothing, and Divine Fortune gives you nothing.
My only real issue with Divine Fortune is that it doesn't give you Divine Power when you're using them in Divine Power mode. That seems to be the crux of the problem. There's almost no reason to use just a normal version of Bastion of Health, so you activate the ability while in Divine mode and this cancels out the benefits of Divine Fortune.
At the moment, I only use Divine Fortune when I'm soloing and running Healing Word. It's a great way to max out my Divine Power in between combats. But when I'm trying to operate as a healer in a dungeon, Divine Fortune is essentially worthless.
Just to clarify, In the righteousness thread I have posted on how the cleric is currently balanced as it pertains to righteousness, not that they are OP in any way. They need to be very tanky and able to stay alive for a long time to even be useful in PvP. I think Cleric is in a good spot right now in everything except damage. I have not tried out cleric damage so can't really comment. My Daunting light crits for like 15k though, that's quite nice for doing my sharandar stuff =P
Honestly I'd say of all my characters DC is either the fastest or 2nd to CW. DC would be faster if he didn't have a target cap, my CW rounds up like 5 groups and then I aoe them all down, where as DC just incinerates a group every time daunting light is off cooldown lol.
So a damage or CC buff would be fine, but I think a survivability buff is probably out of the question.
We are definitely dominating, and we are always about to win.
Healing word provides divine power even if it does not heal your target, because it applies a heal over time. Never use Bastion of Health ever, so no idea.
Maybe you don't. I'd love a bit more damage though.
You're assuming everyone plays the same way you do and you're also assuming elven battle enchantment actually works, but it's confirmed to not be working at all in PvE - 100% bugged.
I rolled a very effective DPS DC but the Repurpose Soul and Armpen Bug are quite crippling to him.
Thats just ridiculous.... So you say you do all solo content with the group? Wait, you are trolling? Ahahaha, you got me, good one!
Other classes can dish out damage while providing utility at the same time, e.g. in form of control powers.
However, Clerics need to choose: damage or heal. There are only few hybrid abilities (namely sunburst and forge masters) and all of them are more or less mediocre at best.
Focus on cleric should be dealing moderate damage in form of AE damage while providing great support in form of AE healing and damage migration. This should be the architype. Currently, he deals next to no damage if focused on healing. Any shift towards damage in encounters or dailies directly reduce healing or damage migration.
Summary: there are too less and too weak hybrid damage/heal or heal/debuff abilities. They should be buffed because support focused clerics are currently force to play a heal bot or better cleric companion instead of a heroic champion of the gods.
This would absolutely be untrue IF Repurpose Soul was working, which it isn't, hasn't been since launch, and maybe never will be.
Armor pen is important for healing. It affects Forgemaster's flame and astral seal.
This would be even true if RS would work. It only add 15% of the damage from crits as heal. It don't allow you to switch damage migration spells like AS or BoH.
I think it's just meant for PvP only, just like dwarf CC immune racial doesn't work in PvE.
We are definitely dominating, and we are always about to win.
Obviously there are some other issues as people have listed like RS, FS not critting, AR not affecting any AOE spell (this one's pretty big imo since it makes APen almost usless for DC's on top of the fact that it's a primary stat on the new set) Currently the new set sucks imo because you get all those wasted stat points.
