No Res for me Thanks

Believe me, at level 70+, you're going to wait for a rez.

Currently i lose 1% xp with a death and no rez. That is about 54k xp for me.

well i'm a cleric and sometimes i see someone die or dying so i go to them and try n save em or res hem if nessesairy, ad when i arrive at the body they dissapeare to town , while there is almost no chance at all that they didn't notice you and they should know your'e a cleric that can res u and save your exp

i'm in triad, triad ppl are supposed to have lvl 10 res so , if someone can res u with lvl 10 skill , that's alot better then going to town i would suppose ,


i don't care if ppl go to town or not it's their exp loss
but if i'm there ressing them and while i'm casting they go to town -_- that's just STUPID .

oh wel

Well, if someone doesn't want my help, who am I to argue with them? If I'm spotting a dead person, I tend to go there and res them and I will keep doing that, since I believe that most people actually prefer my L10 res over an XP loss and/or having to track back to the battlefield from town. If they don't want to make use of it, they can still port to down. *shrug*

I tend to solo all my quests and don't usually have a cleric around, though I'm more than happy to help out and be helped in return.

The problem comes in that i'm so *used* to dying, that clicking "return to town" is more a reflex for me. I'm not at the point where I'm willing to wait 15 minutes on the chance that a cleric with a high rez will wander by.

So on the occasions where I'm fighting with a cleric, sometimes I just auto click that button and then mutter to myself when I realize my mistake. No offence meant, just muscle memory.

helping others (at least in HT) is anything but rewarding. clerics ress, heal, buff people but most don't even say "ty". also getting a squad is mostly a hassle. makes me feel i'm a beggar or even weak to kill mobs on my own!

when i were 6X i started to farm herbs at plain of farewells and i saw an archer grinding there and taking lots of hits. i healed and buffed him and he said never a wizard had healed him.

HT is not as bad as you are saying. I get buffed quite often by the random players passing by. That goes for all of my characters, not just this one, and I always say thank you.

And Lit... that whole PvP thing might be your problem. Just a thought =P
I love to walk around white named every now and then, but I don't expect to get buffed like that. I expect to get jumped. lol

You need some better friends and party members.

I don't mind ressing dead people when I see them, nor do I mind buffing. What pisses me off is the lack of courtesy. Say thank you! Not to mention that you could at least buff me in return. BM's are always asking for buffs, but have yet to party me for 2 seconds to give me aura of the golden bell. As a robe class, you dont think the extra def would be helpful???? I did make a cleric to assist others (mostly my faction), but dont get it twisted, its NOT REQUIRED that we help the random person, we do so because we like to. Does scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours mean anything??????

It would be nice if some other classes came with a solid res like revive.This is so they can do some ressing. It helps when doing FBs so the cleric can watch the squad instead of ressing.It would be nice to see the price of scrolls come down.

I wouldn't mind one myself sometime.

giving other classes the skill to res people would just make it unbalanced. providing a res scroll matching the cleric's abiltiy that could be use to res targets other than yourself that might be worth it.
example
20k for lvl 1 res scroll
100k for lvl 4 res scroll
500k for lvl 10 res scroll
of course, the scroll is consumed in the process

No it wouldn't unbalance the game especially if pvping or doing TW.The squad wouldn't have to count on cleric to res them.

In general, if I'm in an area with someone who is grinding, I'll give them buffs. Most people tend to be happy and respond with a "thanks!" and will return buffs with whatever their class has available to me as well. However, some people use Apothecary pots...so when I click someone, I check to see what buffs they have (most apoth pots will show like regular buffs, MP/HP regen, phys def, etc). If I see they already have a few buffs, I'll ask if they want the others. Again, most people seem to love the buffs.

In fact, quite a lot of people will ask for buffs...and it's common to get whispers for "buff me". Asking for buffs is fine, but I find it rather rude when someone DEMANDS buffs...and usually I'll ignore those demanding them. Otherwise, I'll even quickly join a squad and waste (quite a bit) of MP to give the group buffs that last an hour rather than 30 minutes.

Also, if I see someone dead (which I encounter quite a bit while on World Quest each day)...it's reflex to rez. A lot of the time it's obvious they were AFK and got attacked.

One time, someone was AFK and their charm was ticking away (damage over time poison)...and I actually stayed there and healed them to save their charm for about 15 minutes until they came back. Fifteen minutes could kill a charm easily.

Basically, I guess you could say it's building karma in-game for me. I'm a full-support cleric, and the skills I have are for helping others as well as myself.

As long as people are polite and not demanding, I see it as my role in-game to help

As i cleric i do ress people no matter if i know them or not.....
But i quess every cleric could write an a4 later, how some barbarian, human,.....didn't help out a cleric when he must kill archer's mobs,.....maybe because of that gives also clerics which are pissed of because of that and dosn't like to help everyone arround.

I must admit that I've had plenty of bad experiences on my cleric - people demanding buffs, or demanding a res... And if I dare say "no" to them (like if I'm running back to a FB to save the remains of my party from the boss chasing them through the whole dungeno and thus don't actually have time to hunt down the person to buff/res), I get yelled at and called names that the chat filter reduces to gibberish...

If I just get a "buff pls", I usually give the person the least useful buff I have (you're a BM or barb? Enjoy your Increased Magical Attack buff). If you really want a buff, you can take the time to ask out in full. The only exception is if you're ganged on by five monsters, in which case I understand that eloquance loses out on the desire to survive.

Most of the time, too, I expect people to ask for a res before I throw one at them - even if the dead person is right in my path. Mostly because some people are AFK, or there's other clerics nearby, or even so I avoid ruining an intended suicide (to prevent levelling). I can imagine that there's little more annoying for a high-levelled barb than to finally have all of their health eliminated so they died, and then have a ridiculous cleric coming along and giving them a level 10 revive.

On the other hand, however, I've had some people asking very politely if I would have time to buff and/or revive them. Usually, they get what they wanted, plus a few stacked ironhearts once they run at their next target. And I also keep an eye on them, throwing heals every so often so they save their potions or charm a bit. In return, I often get my hiney saved if I get ganged on by mobs.

If I get buffs by people, be it venomancers or wizards who can buff me without having to be in my squad, then I always shout my gratitude to them - and if I can see them, I buff them in return. I've also - though sadly not that often - had barbs or BMs toss out a party invite and buff me. (Barb HP buffs makes a cleric very giddy with joy. b:victory)

When it comes to squads, however, I consider it my duty to ensure my party is buffed - just as I consider it the barbarian and BM's duty to keep the mobs away from me, the venomancers to lure monsters close, the wizard to kill stuff fast, and the archer to knock monsters away and deal damage.

Yeah, it is kind of a "WTF???" moment when someone towns in mid res. I was riding from Orchid Temple to Arch after a couple of FB 29s and saw a BM (I think) go down fighting a Ossein Guard in front of SP. I ride my Polar Bear over to him (which is fairly large so I'd think he'd have seen me), stow it, and start to res. Then *poof* he's gone... So yeah, you definately wonder why. I have my res maxed for my lvl (5 or 6), so it's still better than a town portal and makes one wonder why a player would choose to town portal rather than wait for the cleric that is already ressing you to finish. lol

I love clerics.

If I die, I politely ask if any clerics are nearby. If not, I'll just take the hit and go to town. It's great to receive help from a friendly healer/buffer, but I think it's not right to endanger or ask that the cleric go out of their way (too much) to help.

b:thanks
