Cleric TL Report

Cleric team leader, Ipno, posted a brief 1.66 "Cleric Report" over on the Drunken Friar's The Cleric's Abbey forums.
    - Smite spells seem to cost too much compared to the damage/benefit they are given, especially in light of the new stormcalling buff, smite is now the worst line in the game for power efficiency.

I agree bots mess up the game for real players. They shouldn't have any REALM BUFFS at all just group buffs that are really good, and if you disband they are gone.

What good would a cleric be if they could only buff group mates? WOULDNT THAT DESTROY THE WHOLE HELPING OTHERS IDEA?

No, leave clerics how they were intended and let them do their damn jobs.

I love my cleric and I enjoy buffing lowbies when I am traveling through different zones.
Why? Cause that is what clerics do.... or they could make all our heals buffs and rezes group only too, how would you like that?

What good is a cleric, my point exactly. If your handing out BUFFS I can't get a group because of your buffing people. Basically you became the dreaded buff BOT now my ENH cleric is useless because the first thing they are going to say is "Are you REJ?". Why? because you handed them buffs now they don't need ENH they want a REJ cleric.

Also you can't buff LOWBIES throu zones nor when you QUIT. Also you waisted all your CON and can't buff yourself or your new group because you did that. If you 50 and you don't care if you die thats fine but I am sure the group your with may care.

I agree with some peoples points in this report. I personally hate BUFF BOTS. My cleric seem dumb the only benifit I can do for most hardcore RvR's is use instants on REJ line and buff the gaps my group buffs is the only thing my toon can bring to the table that a buff bot can't do. I don't do ENH past 39 because of BOTS!! However that being said I have nothing else to work with in other SPEC lines. If I go for REJ line oh, yeah I can heal people for 800 pts but it takes me 3 seconds to cast that and I can't do anything else afterwords or I can wait for someone to die full rez, sorry doesn't work when your mezzed or people kill you in one swipe because now your unbuffed gimp, second your so gimp you can bearly solo BLUES. Oh I could try massive heals oh wait thats also a power hungry BEN/POW is not greater and your talking 3.5 seconds. Oh try smite yeah that line so bad I can't mez but within my personal radius and its resisted in like 2 seconds or some other antimez ablity from other class. What do I have left is half *** toon can't be 50 in anything. Best spec after considering all this **** for months is this personally.
24 REJ 39 ENH ~28 Smite
Why? because all lines suck and you get no benifit for REJ except the INSTANTS, in ENH we have bot issues, SMITE no damage power hungry & lack of decent mezz or 30 second timer should be shortened.

24 REJ gives me two instants (GROUP,IND. & REZ 50% & power%25)
39 ENH gives me the 2nd HEAL PROC and 16%(ENH,MATTER,BODY)
28 SMITE gives you HAMMER, DAO next to you, MEZ

If people ask me what kinda cleric I am I lie and say I AM EHN/REJ and 0 smite why because REJ clerics can't do **** that these specs can do and they die from one, hit I can at least solo to get some money too.

You guys need to fix a few things with the cleric but I doubt you ever will.
SMITE LINE
<decrease power consumption of base smite>
<increase distants of mez>
<decrease the damage timer of instant damage>
REJ LINE
< have a more expentional power ratio its so bad not worth putting pts into it >
< why put any pts in this line 1/3 people have full heals in combat ie --> first aid line you'll be mezzed because you can't resist any mezzes no buffs >
< You could use this toon in KEEP DEFENSE oh wait that never happens but 1/1000 times your in RVR why you can't log your toon in keep, yet somehow stealth are allowed log in DF then kill me while in fighting monsters before I can even tell what happened.>

ENH LINE
< CON pts is a factor with high lvl ENH so no pt in going to high with that>
< GROUP spells mainly HEAL PROC make them better and if you have to decrease the orginal buffs >


I 50 lvl cleric fed up doesn't play with his toon anymore after you made him so gimp.

I don't know about you, but I have a lvl 50 RR5 cleric and I rule in RvR 40rejuv 35enh 9smite. I dont know why you keep complaining about how clerics can't do anything. You need to stop smiting, get in a group, and heal. That is basically what a "cleric" should do. If you think that you should just smite in battles you picked the wrong class. Clerics are supposed to heal and that is what I do best. Also, If you keep complaining about using up all your power to fast, there is a thing called MCL that is pretty easy to get with a couple Realm Skill Points and you can get Serenity. Then you might be worth something in RvR and not just sit there complaining about how you suck so much.
