    Timer is awesome but sadly the usual clock-holding Chimei is currently on vacation in the Bahamas and cannot be replaced due to certain stipulations in the contract we have with the Chimei Workers' Union.

    I know AD was changed so that it is no longer an AOE. Maybe other genie skills were changed as well.

    BTW the name of the expansion was given as "Descent".

    Nooo I use AD to make up for the fact that I'm a power-leveled cleric.

    Derp fish is kewl but QQ frankie said the chimei can not be replaced because it will violate the contract betweed PWI and the Chimei Workers' Union.

    People might not recognise it's a different one :D

    Well, if there's no Chimei Workers' Union then what's the problem?

    We just need to tortu.. ehm... ''bribe'' Duke Blacke a little, ''Let it be known that all chimei now have a chance of dropping a Scroll of Tome!''.

    And I think we all could benefit from this, maybe gold prices will go down.

    Wonder what that could mean...b:shutup

    New class skills and balancing skills that already exist

    One of the most interesting aspects of the extension Descent is undoubtedly the fact that the ten character classes will get any new skills. And it is not trivial skills - we do not speak a second competency of care or skill to damage over time - but skills that will have a real impact on your game, things such as the ability to hide for Archers or cause devastating damage to the priests. In addition to all these new skills, a number of existing balancing skills will take place. Tactics and strategies change when Descent certainly out, and players must adapt or perish.


    Ahhh. The expansion is meant to kill the priests, and cause devastating damage to us. Makes sense that metal mage mode handicaps us, and why our skills are sub par in comparison to the others.

    That said, and my belief that clerics got screwed a lot in this aside, I'm still looking forward to seeing these new updates. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long to see them.

    As far as I know, clerics are HEALERS. Yes, they got attacks, yes mystics can heal pretty well too. But I really don't see where it's killing the class. BP kills the class more than that expansion imo.

    Because dealing more damage (Not that much more mind you) at the cost of being completely unable to heal is ****ing rediculous. Plus the rest of the new skills are quite simply "meh" in comparison to say, the wizards new anti-crit buff.

    I dunno, John. I'm a retired cleric. As I see it.. clerics got the heals. Clerics got epic buffs. What's left for them to get? .-. And I remember people QQing about how clerics can't attack.

    A way to defend themselves? Plume Shell can be wiped in seconds leaving you utterly defencelss, even if you're charmed vs any given sin. Additionally they have no antistun and 60% extra PDef isn't **** vs any other arcanes buffs to Pdef.

    Wizards got more Defencive skills than offensive in this new expansion that Clerics did, and while I'm happy my Wizard got a needed boost, I know I will not be pulling my cleric out of pseudo retirement anytime soon.

    there are two possible ways to look at how metal mage mode will effect damage, either it will boost WEAPON damage which will pretty much mean permanent single spark damage, or it will be skill damage, like the 9 trial buff does, i tend to think its the latter, as an extra 3000 damage at the high end which is about what single spark gives, is pretty useless.

    Guardian light is a joke with its cooldown, winged shell is HP based and has al ong cooldown, useful yes, but not reliable. Plume Shell can result in your manapool being emptied in moments.

    Healing yourself is great, lets you live all the time that your shell is being worn down, but as soon as thats gone, you are likely dead when you get hit for 200% of your HP by a Slipstream.

    ~Yeah clerics have a lot of survival skills, but they don't have any skills that help them truly survive. They have no anistun, no epic Pdef increase, only 2 real control skills (Slowing effects suck ***) one of which will go the seconds you attack and another which leaves them free to teleport to you and lay in like you never immobilised them.

    Anticrit should completely have been a cleric skill too, and I think the metal form should have put that PSy debuff on them, you know, the one that nerfs heals and lengthens charm CD? instead of nuking all their healing.

    If it's the expansion date you might as well forget about announcing it since we all know by now when it is here derp. And it's not even as exciting as it was before b:surrender

    This. That said. I didn't mean to derail the thread. Sorry about that, however I will note this. I fully agree with the idea nerfed heals, and legnthened charm cooldowns. I even suggested it in several of the other posts when this topic discussed more heavily, but removal of the heals in its entirety sort of takes the uniqueness from being a cleric, as mystics can heal and do more damage too with no penalty. Not to mention...and this is a minor point, but it will affect some macro chains as well. Clerics with no heals, and most blessings removed in metal mage mode become a virtual joke. We become a gimped wiz in that manner, and that's not very cool. We already have only one damage dealing ulti. Our other two ulti's are auras. Aside from plume shell, and vanguard our only other defensive measures have long cooldown times. 5 mins for guardians light, and 3 mins for wings of protection. Clerics new skills need more work, care, and revision in them to be effective compared to the skills that other classes are getting, and are trying to get. Apologies again for derailing the thread some, but I had to makee my point be known. I'll likely create another thread, so that this one can follow its intended purpose.
