As it is right now the skill is nearly useless (it has small uses in aoe grinding but thats all), please change it so the skill continuously hit close range targets until canceled or esc is pressed, and can be casted without a target.

    Um, Heaven's Wrath and Regeneration Aura?

    Clerics are the only class that has TWO continuous AoEs, you know. Take Archers, for example. We get Barrage, which stops as soon as the target mob dies, which kinda makes it useless.
    If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

    ._. sirens is fine as it is. Clerics weren't meant to be DD, u're not supposed to have continuous AOE. Razors & siren are enough for aoe dmg.

    Olba missed the goal by a mile.

    Heavens Wrath, Red Bubble and Regeneration Aura, Blue Bubble are more aoe buffs that doesn't cause damage.

    Also, Sirens Kiss demands a spark and thus cannot be executed in a chain, which he meant. Right now clerics have all 3 aoe attacks, Razor Feathers, which is fine as it is, Sirens Kiss, which demands a spark and thus nerfing it greatly and Tempest which requires 2 sparks.

    The cool down on Razor Feathers is WAAAAY too long to be of any real use against multiple mobs, if you're alone. Sirens Kiss would greatly fill in the gap, if it didn't demand a spark.

    Um, high elemental AoE kinda screams a highly specified AoE grinding to me.

    Be glad that you can even do that at all.

    Sure, why don't we give barbs, BM's, psy's, and sin's a contiunues AoE skill while we're at it?

    Seriusly, no. Cleric's are not DD's, and zhen skils are the cream the la cream in DD. And thus a job for the real DD's (wiz and archer)

    @Olba

    Right now grinding is something that majority of the people concider a waste of time and I agree.

    What I am saying is that taking off the spark requirement off Sirens Kiss, it would make it actually useful. Right now it just sits there collecting dust since I much rather use Tempest, or double spark, than spend 1 spark on a skill that ain't THAT useful for my class to begin with.

    Right now, Sirens Kiss is frankly quite useless and very, very, very rarely do I see it performed by others either.

    If grinding is so useless, why would you want to change a skill that is used mostly for grinding? After all, in any squad, Clerics are healers, not DDs.

    And look at the level 11 Siren's Kiss. That's 5,800 damage with a 12m AoE. Now go look at the life of the spiders up in Avalanche. Use basic math to realize how powerful that skill is.

    And btw, Sage Siren's Kiss has a chance to cast without consuming said spark.

    You dont seem to understand. As a cleric, yes, you get in to a lot of BH's, TT's, etc, but you also need to solo quests. It's hard, ecspecailly when you drag more than two or three mobs. If Siren's Kiss was constant, it may prevent some damage or even death.
    It's not my job to shut you down on a suggestion. It's a pleasure, though.

    You don't actually think a wiz uses dragon's breath for solo grinding do you? The only way you can discribe that is suicide. Same for archers in a lesser extend, and it will be the same for clerics.

    No, ther is no use for a zhen skil in solo grinding anyway, unles you'd be able to stand there and take the hits from 5+ mobs

    Read what Maddieson and Sirrobert wrote.

    Combined they pretty much state that Sirens Kiss would be a nice way to help DD unfortunate pulling in TT in some cases. (Such as being an extra cleric, or a herc is tanking, but still need to clear some fairly easy mobs)

    On the otherhand if a cleric did use Sirens Kiss for grinding, as Sirrobert stated it would be pretty much suicide.

    The devs went over their way to give clerics an AOE skill, which at the moment is useless, since it requires a spark. Is it really too much to ask for skills to be useful?

    Also, pretty much any other DD class has AOE skills that deal WAY more than the said 5,8k damage, so it's not like it'd overpower clerics.

    I don't know about making Siren continuous but i do agree that cleric needs at least another good nuke (similar to wield thunder). Chi-less if possible.

    There's a dfference between "not being a DD class" and lacking enough firepower to keep up in pvp and pve.

    I find siren very useful & use it a lot.

    o.o my cleric never had trouble lacking firepower in pve... duno what u're on about... go grind on poison mobs... tempest+razorsx2maybe=over 20 dead mobs. No other class can grind on those mobs cause they die in seconds from stacked poison. The skills I had were always enough in pve.

    & in pvp... well I just suck at that, so no comment.

    Being a DD means you have enough firepower to keep up -_-'
    If you don't have it, you're either a fail DD or no DD at all.

    Cleric is a healer people. Be glad clerics in PWI have some good (verry good I must say) DD skils, cause there are games where they don't have any at all. But those DD skils don't make them a full DD

    The clerics in this game are not bad but let's face it, if you are "the support class" and you get the smallest amount of damage skills in the game, those few skills you get better pay out. Considering Siren, the thunderball and the "dreaded" lvl 100 skill Elven Boon that does basic dam. + 100% weapon dam. + 1111 (LOL) damage, I still think the cleric needs a little boost in this department.

    plume shot and razor feathers are good physical skills... for early and middle game. Later wizards get +100 phys resist (+150 demonb:shocked). Some said that even triple sparked razors only tickles them. Venos get +120 phys. resist. in fox form and many go heavy and light and other clerics still have the shield. So arcanes get very hard once they get good gear.

    Cyclone is good for slowing but it doesn't pack a punch. It's only for kiting.

    Yea, wield thunder is strong and it doesn't require chi but that's the only good one.

    Tempest packs a punch but it takes 2 sparks. Long casting and without chi, no sparks for wield th. no shield no debuffs.

    I'm not saying we should be wizards. Hell no! But just look at them 4 good initial spells (pyro, gush, stone, hailstorm)(no chi) 4 MASSIVE middle nukes (div. pyro, sandstorm, snare, firebird)(NO CHI) and three absolutely incredible ultimates (dragon=b:shocked mountain=as strong as dragon and mass stun and a "1shot arcanes" skill).

    its called strategy.. as stated earlier, we are not a class to DD through charms.

    I find it funny how everyone that opposes this idea and isn't playing a cleric as their main all pretty much try to point out how we do so well against poison mobs.

    That is very true and I agree, I absolutely fricking LOOOOOOOOOOVE poison mobs, because they're the only sort of mobs that a cleric can handle like other classes do any other sort of mob.

    Sure, if you're careful and know what you're doing, you CAN cope with any other mob as well no problemo, however that still doesn't change the fact that clerics are so fricking underpowered.

    Telling me to lvl up Plume Shell and use it ain't going to solve anything, because that drains the clerics MP, which is sort of needs to do ANYTHING AT ALL. Telling me that we already have Tempest aaaand.... razor.... doesn't solve anything at all either, because as pointed, tempest takes 2 sparks (And thus used veeery rarely, although I do luv that skill) and razor is hardly the sort of cannon that would really harm even an arcane wearer, let alone Heavy.

    Clerics are underpowered, this is a fact that should be dealt someway.

    And yes, I'm very well aware that there are some very kickass clerics out there, I know 1 very personally. But they're also lvl 100's with absolutely kick **** gear. Yes, I also know that there are midhigh lvl clerics that play their chars VERY WELL, but they are NOT the norm, they are the exception.

    Of course I am going to support any suggestion that would make clerics equally powered as the other classes. I'm not saying that they should be as hard hitting as wizards, or anything, but at least something to balance things out.

    Lol... I play both my chars equally, they are almost on par with lvl. I'm not gona switch each time I want to post in clerics' section. YOU on the other hand... are a much lower lvl player & I could point that out, claiming you can't even make a good judgement since you're only a bit over 80... Which I didn't do... So refrain from saying I'm only saying clerics are not underpowered cause I haven't played mine enough.
    all pretty much try to point out how we do so well against poison mobs.
    ALL? I believe I was , if not the only one... maybe 2 ppl...
    however that still doesn't change the fact that clerics are so fricking underpowered.
    U say they are underpower, I say there are perfectly fine... Not sure what u're doing wrong with yours.
    Telling me to lvl up Plume Shell and use it ain't going to solve anything, because drains the clerics MP,
    Yes sure don't lvl up your atk skills either, cause higher lvl takes more MP, & it ain't going to solve anything.
    razor is hardly the sort of cannon that would really harm even an arcane wearer, let alone Heavy.
    Rofl.... plz... plz dont tell me u use razors/plume against heavy... b:bye

    Shealu, I have 300+ magic and 5 str. And Im well aware that clerics can be decent at 90+, but that doesnt change the fact that in lvls 1-90 it can be bit more difficult than if you were any other class.
    YOU on the other hand... are a much lower lvl player & I could point that out, claiming you can't even make a good judgement since you're only a bit over 80...

    And how are you able to make a judgement as to how long someone has plaid their class based on their lvl? Since when did those two walk hand in hand? If LVLing happened completely based on playtime, I would be lvl 100 by now. How do I know? Many friends of mine are 100 now when we used to be on par before.

    The difference is, if you can afford charms to do RBs.

    This renders your point moot, if you even had a point there.

    And as we know, if youre a lvl 90+ player, you have IQ of 160 and know everything there is to know about anything and your experience, wisdom and knowledge far outstamps anyone whom doesnt reach your high divine lvl number.

    Are you saying you think Razor Feathers is effective on HA users? That is so inaccurate its not even funny.

    if you use it on a group with Arcane/LA/HA they will all receive different damage.. Im not really sure why you would think otherwise..

    My comment was merely a retort directed at you mentioning that everyone who claims cleric are not underpowered are those that don't play clerics as mains. Further doesn't matter what lvl your friends are, the fact is you are merely a middle lvl player who doesn't even have access to +89 skills. Doesn't matter how long you played, you still lack the experience of those.
    The difference is, if you can afford charms to do RBs.
    o.o Clerics barely spend charms in rbs... I would know being one...



    Then how come that a lvl 80+ WIZARD, the one class a cleric should excel against, can 1 shot a cleric?
    Crit lol? Op gear? Blade tempest? Barbs get 1 shot by wizes. I'm not quite sure what u're trying to point out.
    Let alone any melee class, whom all can just stun lock a cleric and **** them...
    Yes ofcourse u're "****"ed, since you're the one who says lvling plume shell is useless, no wonder you get "****"ed by melees. + If any AA gets jumped by surprise & stunlocked they are most likely b:fatb ed. You have proved nothing again.
    or a veno with a nix.

    My plume shot, cyclone and wield thunder are all lvl 10 with lvl 10 metal mastery. Thank you very much...
    I was being sarcastic towards your comment on not lvling plume shell...


    I seriously duno what to say except learn to play the class or reroll into a DD if you want to do tons of damage & 1 shoot everyone half the time.

    Bk to wq :)
