LOL. What do you think non-leavers will be doing if there is a penalty? A leaver penalty will result in a lot less people doing PvP because they get stuck with AFKers/bots or an incredibly poor matchup(12k GS premade vs 6k gs Pug). So basically the net result will be the same, you'll be sitting in town waiting for a queue…

The easiest? No way is that remotely true. The cleric might be able to heal more than other classes but the trade off is killing things 10x slower. What's worse is that other classes don't even need 1/2 the healing that clerics do because they can kill things quickly. In the mid levels (40+) daunting light no longer 1…

That is the result of a poorly designed game mechanic. Anyone calling for the losers to get no glory were 100% not thinking about the ramifications of that design. What's worse is now Cryptic is so mired down in bad PvP mechanics/balance that there is no way in the near future to fix it. If they add an afk/quit penalty…

1. AS was overpowered and it did need fixing, however AS itself is not overpowered. I think people somehow think that standing in a single AS makes them invincible when that is simply not true. All AS does is reduce damage to point where our absolutely pathetic heals can actually make a dent. Even if they thought AS was OP…

Clerics are free kills for any competent player, well except other DC players. Knock the cleric out of AS and they die way too easily. A TR or CW can currently kill a cleric inside of a AS pretty easily as well. The only time clerics are annoying are when they AS stack and that's getting nerfed...although the same rules…
-
Why even wait for the 20th, RIFT goes F2P on the 12th and that's where I plan to go. It is very clear that Cryptic has no idea what they are doing class balance wise, these changes should have never even made it to the test server. If there is one thing that I've learned in over a decade of playing MMO's is if you're…

Perhaps in lower end dungeons or incredibly overgeared guild groups, but in dungeons where adds hit stupidly hard and AS is on cooldown, people die. Clerics still get aggro unless someone does something otherwise to gain aggro. Even if they gain aggro if AS is on cooldown they take a truckload of damage that clerics can do…
-
Because we had 1 encounter that was remotely good at keeping a group in a dungeon alive, now that one skill that made us at least feel needed is worse. DC are by a wide margin the worst healers in any MMO I've played. They give up so much balance wise for heals and honestly it isn't worth it.
-
That video is an example of what a rogue should not be able to do. I have no idea how you can try and justify those numbers, 15k is too much damage for a single hit, heck for that matter so is 10k. With most people at 20k-30k hp you're looking at 4-6 hits, that's why the TTK is so stupidly low and why PvP is near…

No, it currently isn't. Just like AS(currently) it counts as an outside heal(not cast by you) so it isn't impacted by righteousness or any of your healing procs(cleanse/stat link). I didn't see FF mentioned in the notes so lets hope it stays that way.
-
AS's healing is now considered a HoT and HoT's are subject to righteousness. The aggro change is per fight(basically any mobs that are aggroed). I'm pretty sure they way it will work is like this: Say there are 10 mobs. Currently when you heal all 10 mobs get 100%(10x100%=1000%) aggro. After this change that same heal will…
-
Except that AS is now considered a heal, hot to be exact, so it should proc the cleanse and is subject to righteousness. Basically it's 1 step forward and 20 steps back. If clerics can only cleanse every 20 seconds and it's only a chance then all dots/debuffs need to be the same, otherwise it's completely useless.
-
How do you think clerics heal? Clerics need DP in order for our heals to be good. Clerics don't really have a sit back and heal spell, well unless you count healing word but that is hard to hit targets with and usually is replaced with better spells(AS, FF, SB). Other than that it's Astral Seal and all we can do is put it…
-
Every class can be DPS by your definition because every class can spec towards more damage. So that means that clerics should be able to top DPS charts if they don't slot any heals or defense buffs since that's what they gain instead of damage. However I'd bet money that even a fully specced/geared dps cleric couldn't…

How to win vs 2 clerics in PvP: Knock clerics out of circles and proceed to kill them. OR Keep 2 clerics busy by tossing 1 teammate at them and just cap the other 2. Since they can only drop them around every 15s or so if you move immediately after they drop to another point they can't immediately chase lest they be an…
-
I might be wrong but in PvP I've definitely saw my AS go away long before the cooldown is up. However since at that point I'm usually being slaughtered I'm not sure if it's actually gone or the spell effect graphics are just gone but the shield is still providing heals/defense. The 2 skills I almost always see kill it are…
-
The PvP is truly awful and probably the worst of any MMO I've played which is probably well over 50+ at this point. How the TR and CW made it this far with such insane damage is astonishing. The fact that there is no DR on CC is mind boggling. It's like the developers have not learned any of the MMO PvP lessons over the…
-
What is your post even about? At no point do you make a coherent explanation that ties your post together. You're going off on tangents trying to explain class types, damage types, etc but then make a conclusion that's out of left field. CW/TR probably do need a nerf in PvE as well as PvP(desperately). When the best setup…
-
Righteousness is an incredibly stupid mechanic. There is no logical justification for a DC to heal themselves 40% less. It isn't a class balance issue because...well it's not like clerics do anything else exceptionally well besides AS. There isn't even a comparable mechanic for each of the classes to show just how stupid…

There is no simple solution to this problem because people are afking for a lot of different reasons and each reason requires a different solution. First off you have AFKers that just want the glory to resell the items for AD, so make everything BoP right? But now people can't just buy zen and transfer that to AD to buy it…
