where clerics went? =_=

Well, let's think about this logically...

1. Many times, clerics get yelled at when somebody dies, because OH NOES they lost EXP and OH NOES they ran into 50 million monsters they shouldn't have done and OH NOES they couldn't tank them all!

How dare that cleric not keep them alive because they were stupid and make ridiculous mistakes and the cleric couldn't keep up with them!

2. This treatment of clerics has increased with the influx of oracles and the noobs that come with them.

3. I've seen clerics get yelled at when they do do everything right. Clerics are a class hated on by a lot of people - even if the cleric themselves is one of the best clerics on the server. Some random jackass will still yell at them and mistreat them, etc. etc.

Did you ever think maybe clerics are getting sick of being treated worse than dirt in a random squad? I know all of my cleric friends now squad in faction and friend only squads - a squad where people not only know how to play their class but know that, no, not everything is the clerics fault, and also know that, yes, clerics have emotions too.

For the clerics that aren't doing this.... they're probably levelling other characters.

Hai Airyll! But yeah, she's right. If I had a nickel for every time a cleric I knew was treated like **** in a squad, I'd be rich.

Random squads are full of fail, well some/most of them anyway. I'm personally tired of listening to barbs/bms whine about "you're letting my charm tick QQ" and all that bull when they run into mobs and expect me to heal them instant. Yeah no... if you don't have aggro of EVERYTHING you pulled, I'm not dealing with heal aggro and getting me killed. Sorry, not happening.

Another thing that's going on is all the lowbie levels keep randomly squadding/screaming for help with this this this and this in bhs. I'm lvl 91. I don't wanna do a bh39 unless its for a friend or for a faction. It's not my responsibility to help EVERY SINGLE PERSON on the server so don't get butthurt when we (IE: clerics) say no.

Barbs and BMs aren't the only ones who use charms, and aren't the only ones that have said charms TICK. Take that into consideration, and maybe be a bit nicer to the person who saves your ****. b:surrender

Hey I helped you today, clerics are still here QQ

b:cute that bossie was fun lol kinda hilarious the agro going from the venos to me then to u n back to the venos b:cool

I don't even remember how I did that when I had that boss...I seriously think my sister and I, both 7x clerics, just did it with me healing her and her DDing. Must've taken forever considering how long we took b:chuckle

lmao clerics are still very much around. In my higher lvls I've just started pking a bit more, rather than finding a squad for a bh. If i get asked to go on one, then I'll go if i know the person... if not, i'll ignore the pm and go find someone else to kill.

We are still around.
Going with complete strangers into BH - please no.
Doing same BH over and over and over again in one day for people I don't know - no way.
And it costs a bit to get all that MP up and running, so I might see why some folks are not as active as they used to be.
Also some are exploring new classes.

Yeah, what she said.....so, I took about a six-month break from playing, and came back for Tideborn, although I do play some of my other alts from time to time, and still occasionally play my Cleric with friends. I still love this game, just not so down with the immaturity level in here, in a lot of the players (which doesn't always have to do with their actual age, lol). Well all that, and busy with RL, too! Cheers!

I Think this guy will soon be needing a Cleric... He is about to steal agro!

On a bit of an off-topic note:

My family calls distracting the cat "Keeping aggro."

"Will you keep aggro on the cat? He's bothering me."
Five minutes later...
"Why didn't you keep aggro?! He's back on my lap!"

i'm still there, and doing random squads as well. I do get in a lot of fail ones, but i see it as a practice to stand up for myself wich i needed.

No, i never complain about my mp or hp charm ticking, tho i prefer if it doesn't ofcourse, with a good squad i can keep it from ticking by using pots.

I have seen an increase of fail squads, and sometimes me being bummed about that makes me leave bh for what it is for the rest of the day or the day after.

Yesterday i kicked a barb out of squad for being a total failure, not taking aggro, not keeping aggro, running into 3 mobs while only attacking one, so i get the other ones if i heal, running somewhere else when you see squad is fighting something, we had a bm, who didnt seem to do much either.
Where i had never have done that before i stopped the squad and asked everyone if they knew what their roles were in a squad, barb just yelled 'go go go' and appeared to not even master english, bm didnt answer till i whispered.
I kicked the barb, gave the bm the benefit of the doubt even tho he didnt seem to active, and worldchatted a'help' and thank god a GOOD barb and a generous bm wanted to come.
When we were at zimo i found out the other bm we already had had put himself on follow without mentioning it so i kicked him before we had killed the boss.

He didn't find out he was kicked till i had flown back to arch to pick up my new bh and get a new squad and was back in the cave b:angry

This cleric is one thats not gonna be messed with anymore, ill do random squads, but ill leave and let fail people die or kick em if need be.
I see it as a challenge to do random squads, but i wont die for them anymore, and i do understand the clerics that wont do random squads anymore a little, cause yes there are a LOT of fail squads around.

See playing cleric is getting boring since you always someone's bi*ch, cleric heal, cleric buff, cleric help, cleric revive,and they're week last time dueled archer couple levels below me, with plume shell advanced spark, and mp charm....failed. People choose another race.

i don't know where clerics went =(

Gues im 1 of the few that likes random squads. After all how els will I see how good I am.
Are u good or bad if u have to tank in BH as cleric?
Are u good or bad if the agro go "ping pong" betwen difrent char and u still keep most of em alive?
Does it relay mater if u have to use any MP pots etc so long u have fun?

If some 1 behaves bad at me il simply give them a warning, if hey keep on going i tell em I wotn heal/res him/her anymore. If I do something wrong I dont mind to listen to what. After all, how els am I going to evolve.

good squad=boring mostly
bad squad=fun mostly
Fail squad=anoying.
For me Fail is when ppl go afk or dont do anything for the most time, Like doing TT 1-2 on 3H because of afk etc -.-"

I never make BH squads with my guildies. The reasons are very simple:

1) Everybody is too high level: I always want the same level players as I am
2) Too easy if 8x soloes
3) Where's all the fun when everybody knows their job

Really, I see no point in doing faction BH runs. I have time, and I enjoy watching fail squads. I have my Cloud Sprint and soon my Will to run away. I can never grab aggro so I don't have to worry. And, at these levels, the EXP lost isn't much because most clerics have their Revive nearly maxed.

LOL it's clerics we are talking about..Try reading the first post. Anyways clerics r tired of fail squads is the point and they cant rez themselves.

They can if they buy scrolls but they are way to expensive from the merchant.

I think that what Saint meant was that clerics cant rez themsleves and get less exp lost.
