A CoD-Style Cleric? (Unsure.)

Here's my idea (Not having much ingame Cleric experience, but I will make a new one if this idea will function)

So I was playing CoD3 with my friend, he was a medic, and he just kept injecting me to revive me and then drilling me in the back with a shotgun to kill me again - just repeating this he got 40 kills and I was unable to run.

What happens if I make a full-damage spiker cleric, but add in revive, and find someone of quite a lower level in PvP, then just keep reviving and ****-kicking over and over? Sounds like I could clean them out, that way.

Sorry if this has been discussed before - I doubt it. Even if it has, I'd still like to hear your replies ^_^

    That sounds like an PvP/PK application of the Full Attack Cleric (FAC) mindset who emphasis building up attack skills instead of support skills. Of course, the whole FSC/FAC is a very touchy subject but there's a guide that is stickied in the forum if you want to read about it.

    I'm not really sure how effective this would be anyways as if you have a low level revive they might just respawn to town (and take the exp hit) anyway which makes your idea rather moot. It's not like you can force people to resurrect with your spell anyways so if the person did res at the spot (without charms, which might again make your idea moot) they'd likely not really give a care at the moment.

    No one is going to sit there and allow this unless they are helping you pad your PK score. All you have to do is tele to town or log off and wait for the person killing you to get bored and go away.

    This is the dumbest, cheapest idea there is. Jerks like you **** so many people off on FPS's. Now you wanna do this in an MMO? Thankfully this is can be easily circumvented as WillFire said, by logging off or spawning back in town.

    Hey, there isn't need for that.

    I was offering up my idea for comments, I don't want to be the cause of flames! What did I do to be called a jerk? And if it can be circumvented it'd just be a PK so WHY would it **** you off?!

    So in conclusion, if you don't like my idea I'm fine with that. But I didn't do anything for which you would need to flame me.

    Well, the idea can be viable if you find someone afk in the wild. You can sometimes find them meditating on top of rock outcroppings or other high ground where melee mobs can't reach.

    The built required is no different than typical FAC. All you need is lvl 1 res. So if you're building a FAC anyway, it doesn't hurt to try it out.b:pleased

    I apologize for my outburst. I dont normally get worked up easily. I have been a victim of what you described on many occations on several FPS. Its just aggravating to be taken advanentage of like that. Again I am sorry for going off like that.
