    You didn't even get great cyclone? Well I suppose you're on a PvE server so you wouldn't exactly need the attacks that a PvP server cleric would have. I'm up to date on all my buffs, heals, revive, and that sort of thing and I have pretty much 3 attacks that I bother to level: Plume Shot, Great Cyclone, and Wield Thunder.

    Plume shot hits physically, Great Cyclone counts as magic and slows enemies and Wield thunder is a decent metal attack. Some monsters have an increased defense (Using monster examples since you don't really pvp) and plume shot takes forever to take them down with. :P cycle out the other two attacks and they go down much quicker, increased defense doesn't help against magic.

    Really it's all up to you since it seems you were going for full out support.

    Yes, even if you are basically full support, I'd get at least level 1 of those two spells. They do magic damage, which is useful against increased defense mobs. Cyclone also has a high chance to slow, which comes in very handy a lot of times. Even if you are primarily healing in groups, you'll need to attack every once in a while.

    omg ... wtf ... how the hell ? b:surprised b:question

    erm.. back to original question:
    yes - get them.
    great cyclone and plume is basic attack cycle, you'll be using that a loooong time...
    wield thunder is great too, although it uses a lot of mana, it's a great opening move.
    also, they profit from metal mastery, which makes them hit even more and therefore a lot more useful.

    if you need advice on skills or something, feel free to pm me ingame, i'll be happy to help

    Metal attacks become your main.
    With metal manastry and magic buff.
    Just work on maxing the cyclone skill right away

    How did you even manage to kill without cyclone..would have been useful to have anyways, from what I read on the forum some time back that in end game your metal attacks will most definitely be stronger than your plume shot because of metal mastery so it is highly advised that you get your attacks as you don't have much to use. Even if your healing constantly in your squads some attacks in between helps.

    ^ Be Nice.Yes.It would be wise to get great cyclone as it is debuff as well as snare to slow things down.Wield Thunder is good for direct attack and for bosses Thunderball.Razor Feathers is good for aoe attacks see thread for that.I would level up Great Cyclone as much as you can without effecting your other skills like Ironheart.

    Get great cyclone. Weild thunder is good for PvP, but not necessary (and costs a lot of mana).

    Great cyclone does more damage than plume shot, slows the opponent, and casts faster. Get it.

    Your main grind (not AoEing) should really be like this: Cyclone, Plume Shot, Cyclone, Plume Shot, Cyclone.... until dead, in my opinion.

    Cyclone==>Plume shot==>Plume Shot

    Higher HP Mobs: Thunder, Cyclone, run, Plume Shot, Plume Shot

    In the end its much more efficient for soloing, even with extra mana used by bigger spells u save mana from not having to heal as much and faster killing. But I guess youve already gotten an earful..

    I find its not really neccesary to recast cyclone more than once(for average mobs) for me its seems that to recast it and run again, i usualy end up taken more hits than if i just rapid fire plume shot after first cyclone for most mobs, higher HP ones as i said i cast a thunder, cyclone, run( also gives thunder a chance to deal its damage) and then plume shot it.

    I always use plume to pull if I have to and if you use cyclone it may bring the other mobs to you.I use plume>cyclone>plume.

    I didn't read all the replies in this thread, but I think that any cleric that doesn't max out Cyclone and Wield Thunder is ret.arded... So go lvl it now.

    Listen to Isowen. Metal mastery maxed plus cyclone or wield fully upgraded is my main attack skills (maxed plume is obvious).
