cleric-fication

ArchivedUser

so ive been thinking on stuff, and more stuff with stuff on the side.

so 1st off, will warrior priests be able to be a thing? 
meaning that striking ppl with a melee weapon could heal nearby ally/allies if so augmented (if we even can augment it that way)
sidenote: yes i know alpha 2 will show more about the combat system and stuff, but just in case somebody heard something:D

2ndly, i assume apostle will be able to cast shields:D

3rdly, what augments do you think theyre gonna do for templar?:o

4th, are heals focus powered and if not where is focus exactly used for? do they even have it?o.O

5th, anything at all on religions?:)

ive been out of the loop for quite a while

edit: ork-magic?!:D

1. It's hard to say how a melee cleric will be like but my guess is if you have the right subclass you should be able to do battle healing
2. Every class can use any weapon 
3. its cleric/ fighter 
4. Heals are just  skills you can use which has a cooldown while focus skill are more powerful but require combos to fill up your focus bar
5. so far we have had bits and pieces but nothing set in stone.

Hope this helps

Who needs a cleric ? all you need to do is bombard your enemies with spells before they can do anything

Kind of hope clerics or classes that have cleric as an augment have some sort of life tap ability. Its something i rarely see in games. I see life-steal or spell-vamp but never life-tap. For anyone that doesn't know, life-tap is when you mark an enemy and your allies heal for an amount every time they damage the marked enemy. Seems like something clerics or someone along that line could make use of

They confirmed a while back that clerics will have spells that damage enemies and heal allies at the same ratio. Not sure if this helps OP or not.

that would be a great alternative:D
im hoping for a melee version on that, wailing on an enemy with a 2handed hammer healing ppl with righteous zeal:3

(like the warrior priest from warhammer online (loved the tanks there:D))

Then you drop a meteor on top of them I'd love to see them heal that

I hope so.

I'd love to play a Cleric but sometimes I don't always want to just sit back and throw heals around, I'd love to take my warhammer and start swinging it around like a crazy person from time to time!

hopefully, the classes can customize their skills so that those clerics that want to sit back and throw heals can be useful doing it, and those clerics that want to throw damage around can also be relevant

Necromancers are the only class that can bring back the dead so that means they are the best healers ^^

You'd have enjoyed the Bear Shaman in Age of Conan. I hope this AoC brings us such an option. I'd say it looks promising though there is much we don't know yet. Roll on Alpha1
