Cleric needs synergy
Aladaur
Member, Alpha Two
Just making to ask if anyone know if the cleric is getting a rework?
The spells dont have any synergy except flash cure being used while casting other spells (which is cool)
If you need aoe healing, you have a priority list, oh my consecrated wave on cooldown? guess ill click resplendent beam. oh thats on cool down too? guess its now flare. type play style to it. you just roll through the different cooldowns.
i was fully waiting to see if the secondary archetypes were going to solve this issue.. but the bard is in a much better state and now the rogue is also up there. I feel those two are the two best designed classes at the moment. fighter and mage are decent, and people complained about the ranger and it got changes. the tank is also being complained about.
some options to fix cleric:
Casting deliverance 3 times resets the cooldown on resplendent beam.
Putting soothing glow on a target makes your deliverance also heal that target for 25% of the amount
While inside flare, all single target heals are evenly spread to up to 5 targets.
When you crit with a single target heal, make it heal the lowest health alli within 20 yards for 30% of the amount
Each heal with a cast time on a target with soothing glow increases the duration of soothing glow by 3 seconds
Each crit applies an absorption shield for 20% of the amount
Also, please give cleric's barrier ability a magic power coefficient, feels terrible that the better your gear gets, the worse that spell becomes.
These are a few options. I hope the cleric goes more toward a class with cast times or crit focused so that it can scale well with wisdom
I hope bard is more of the aoe healing over time class and cleric is better at burst healing with castable single target and aoe heals with a few instant casts that have CDs
now for some more recommendations on how to fix it, without directly stealing their ideas, go take a look at project ascension's healer specs. It isnt "classless" as much as it is 1000 different classes. Each legendary RE vastly changes the synergy spells have.
