Sooo... Did clerics get screwed on new skills?

I don't care what anyone else says, as far as I'm concerned the no exp loss skill is pure win. Enough win that I'm actually considering playing a cleric again when the expansion goes live. b:cute

I assume by your underlining that one skill that you consider this to be useful. See above post.

For the idea that Ray meditation and the other 2 skills are good for TW, you realize a cleric has to go into DD mode (That untill proven otherwise don't give enough of a damage increase to warrant the lost of our healing) to use these other skills right? A cleric would have to literally switch from being an actual cleric that everyone love and enjoy (Sickening how the "clerics cant DD!" "Clerics should only heal squad!" people make it sound) to a DDing cleric, as that will be the only thing you can do in this mode beside debuffing targets.

As for PvE, To go into DD mode to debuff anything would be bad if your the only cleric and people are being attacked. (Unless its an all aps squad that dont require your heals) Since you lose the ability to heal your teammates, the reason you are there I believe.

105 is my ultimate goal for every character I have.

Sickening... This is my new catchphrase. Unless there is a significant benefit to being 4 levels above 101 thats required for R9 aside from the ones given to sins, I don't see why you want this so badly.

The level cap is not 101, it is 105. If you are content to not finish leveling your character, great. I like to finish what I start, and IMO a character is not "finished" leveling until the game will no longer let it earn exp.

Hi, I am Futurelord

Hi and yes I know you and seen you around.

I would like to point out that the role DD and the role TANK along with the role HEALER were only applied to classes that were good at each role. However with the introduction of cheap Rank gear, Nirvana, Refines and aps, these roles no longer apply to each indivisual class as they once did.

Sadly, this is correct in some sense, however it does not take away from the purpose of a Cleric = meant to heal/buff/survive/SUPPORT. Yes, I am well aware that Clerics can and are VERY good solo classes, I know I solo'd a LOT of bosses. Overall though a Cleric is a support class. You know the little helpers.

How many "fail" Clerics you see that do not even know what Plume Shell is or that IH is a better heal then Blessing of the Purehearted? I know you know those Clerics, you know the ones that think they are a Wizz and refuse to buff, heal or even revive? I HOPE that those Clerics that have Revive Level 1 will have to MAX it before they can get the No Exp Loss Skill (which I think is stupid anyways and also do not agree with that)

A cleric that wants to DD and has the capability to "Hurt" something a lot better then 3 out of the other 5 people in squad should certainly be allowed to do so, as long as noone is dying from lack of heals. The same goes for a cleric who is capable of keeping aggro and tanking. Not needing heals from another class is a plus.

A Cleric will never match the Attack of certain other classes with the same gear/refines/shards. That is just the nature...Now, have an overly geared Cleric versus a Lame geared Wizard of the same level and by default yes, the Cleric would deal more damage. Additionally, in DD mode (until proven otherwise) no heals means not even heals for yourself, so if defeats the purpose of a Cleric being able to tank/keep aggro.

Never say reroll

I said SHOULD have rolled, I did not say "reroll"...A Clerics "job" is to heal and support. In the way PW is now, EVERY class seems to think they can be something that their class was not originally intended to do. Yes, I am old school and MANY know that, hell I think R9 for Clerics is even horrible and I can make a case for it as well (although it is a novel and far off-topic here).

Make the final form of DD mode (100%) even "remotely" as powerful as lvl11 psy voodoo and it will be worth the lost of all healing abilities. Our version of losing def levels.

So then while you are DD'ing and your squad is potentially dieing, the DD mode was worth it? Clerics usually die when their squad dies (if in a semi-non-lame squad). But then again, if you cannot even heal yourself....

You don't agree with clerics having level 1 Revive or you don't agree with getting a no exp loss skill?

RedsRose - Lost City wrote: »

I'd go even further here. Level 11 rez requirement for the skill. Why would you expect to get this wonderful skill for yourself when you don't give it to others? lol

It saddens me how many clerics got r8 and good gears but not even level 11 rez. My clerics pretty much retired but she's got demon rez. b:surrender

Purple Night Dance sounds sexual and violent! b:dirty

Your relationship with him seems interesting (Stares)


Hi and yes I know you and seen you around.

Oh goody I have a reputation.

Yes, I am well aware that Clerics can and are VERY good solo classes, I know I solo'd a LOT of bosses. Overall though a Cleric is a support class. You know the little helpers.

You are correct of course.

I dislike fail clerics with every fiber of my being.

A Cleric will never match the Attack of certain other classes with the same gear/refines/shards. That is just the nature...Now, have an overly geared Cleric versus a Lame geared Wizard of the same level and by default yes, the Cleric would deal more damage. Additionally, in DD mode (until proven otherwise) no heals means not even heals for yourself, so if defeats the purpose of a Cleric being able to tank/keep aggro.

To this I want to point out the fact that most tanks cant heal themselves, they are tanks mostly because they can actually survive whats being dealt out for a certain about of time. (With heals, forever) The only thing needed is to keep aggro. DD mode can take care of this part. You can bring another cleric along to heal you (Since there are plenty that don't believe in the DDing/Tanking role). Of course a cleric can tank/keep aggro without DD mode thus allowing them to heal themselves and not need another healer (or take the drastic route and charm tank) But that would require a little more effort to keep aggro and would eliminate the only skill I consider worth using in PvE. (Demon spark on a boss with a 15% chance to crit debuff on it)

I said SHOULD have rolled, I did not say "reroll"...A Clerics "job" is to heal and support. In the way PW is now, EVERY class seems to think they can be something that their class was not originally intended to do. Yes, I am old school and MANY know that, hell I think R9 for Clerics is even horrible and I can make a case for it as well (although it is a novel and far off-topic here).

I'm only getting R9 cause it's the only possible way to survive against all the aps (and other R9 players) these days, only the best clerics will survive with R9 anyway. (The weapon gives you the power to lay waste to most foes, an alternate form of keeping yourself alive, by not having anyone hitting you anymore lol)


So then while you are DD'ing and your squad is potentially dieing, the DD mode was worth it? Clerics usually die when their squad dies (if in a semi-non-lame squad). But then again, if you cannot even heal yourself....

I would hope the cleric knows when and when not to DD in this case. A squad can go on without a cleric in a lot of situations (We are talking lvl95+ when these skills are even available to us)Thus allowing us to make ourselves useful another way. Alternate situation is having a 2nd cleric dedicated to healing. You can play backup cleric while in the meantime actually being useful to the squad by DDing in DD mode. (Our weak DDing power being the reason we aren't invited for many things other then to heal in the first place) Maybe It would finally get me in those delta squads where I can actually DD instead of BB (I mean if your gonna bring a veno or a sin along...You can't complain about our damage, Atleast we do better aoe damage then the sins and (venos?), complain when it comes to overall damage to bosses, then try to out DD the sin yourself.

someone teach me how to break up quotes like her...

Edit: This took me so long so many people have posted before me (Cries)

Break up the text and put the quote tags between them.

Anyway, it seems like the no xp loss passive can take up to a month to obtain (like most other skills). I'll probably save it for last.
