Not joking :) I meant that in pvp, since it would be quite obvious when to focus down the opponent's cleric, if you can see the blue circle, why not make it so the opponent team can't see it? Or hide any of the beneficial buffs really from any class.
The main issue with AS is the combo with the design of the boss fights in general. Having a zillion adds thrown at your group without proper control over the situation or burst heals outside of potting. It's the general lack of control of any class over the in game battle situation. That is the reason AS was/is such a…
The difference is that HP helps with any damage type while defense might only work against a specific incoming damage (non magic, magic etc..). That's the reason I said I did not test it properly.
I appreciate the long time players test all the changes on the test server but I actually wonder how this will impact players who are not yet geared in sets and are just entering T1 and T2 and with a pug and not premade groups with Voice available :) edit: Nevermind someone did in another thread. Pretty much what I…
Sounds like what I was thinking of trying or similar anyway. Looking forward to see how that plays out. As much as I hate the AS nerf and wish the don't go through with it, at least it makes us think outside of the box and try something else but the obvious cookie cutter build. Now if they would only add some proper…
I am still a bit undecided when it comes to defence vs HP. I generally go for HP in the defence slot but I haven't done a lot of testing in terms of what kind of damage is dominant and what negates it.
Well I agree with one thing: Fix the freaking boss fights and drop the lazy "spam-adds" mechanics. I mean, EQ2 and WoW had some of the best group and raid boss mechanics ever. I feel like hitting my head through the wall with boss fights here..If it wasn't all zergling fights the aggro and self heal issue would be lessened.
Your avatar...did you play healing classes in other mmos? I feel like I had some great class discussion going with someone with the same avatar in another MMO.
I know you mention it but hardly any new player realizes you get 3 more heroic feat points as a human and they might wonder why they only have 20 if they are another race :)
I am so tempted to get another DC up and deck her out on all HP/Defense gear and feats and see how tanky I can get her :p After all they throw that gear after us in every freaking quest reward..hint maybe? :p
Oh cool, pretty much the build I am using but one question: why not BoH over Healing Word or Sun Burst? I like to use HW to top AP before a fight with its corresponding feat but it's not really necessary. Nor do I find myself in need to really use SB all the time. Do you consider BoH too stationary/long to build up during…
Add the debuff as built in to some of the paragon feat tree abilities. If a cleric wants to go full dps apply the debuff linked to some of these abilities. Keep some sort of debuff on the clerics skill that are easy autoheals on the cleric while being targeted on another player and remove it from everything else. I can…
While I agree that some kind of debuff needs to be in place for PvP balance and other reasons your explanation here does not make any sense at all. Any other MMO does exactly the same and it's not like you heal 4x on yourself. You still only heal yourself for one person. I don't even understand what you are trying to say…
As the others have said, direct healing is very challenging for several reasons. We do not have any direct burst heals Pugs are horrible mostly because they do not know the mechanics of the cleric and think "oh healer" without understanding what a DC really is You will have to mouseover the player in question. In a heated…
6) I think combat advantage is if you and a friend attack a foe from opposite sites. :) Sandwiching your target in between...basically. If you have combat advantage you deal bonus damage.
How are we not a healer class? I guess non of you claiming the DC is not a healer class has played an Enchanter in Aion or a Templar in EQ2, for example? Not every healer has a full heal burst heal spec or relies on direct healing. I enjoy my cleric immensely and love the mitigation HOT based game-play :) I also seriously…
Hmm, actually I did yesterday. That's the reason I am asking. I had Soothe in both slots (unless it was a bug). I have since swapped it around anyway but the question stuck with me.
