Chapter Five: A Cleric’s Call

jta5-1920x1080.jpg

⏳ Just in time, our tank rushes forward and blocks the incoming enemy attack. A blast of light shoots from their mage’s staff and half our group is knocked down.

💖 Our cleric prepares to take an action - what spell should they use?

💥Damnation (damage foes)
💖Benediction (heal allies)

    A nice steady Heal Over Time, please, Mr Cleric Sir, while we get back on our feet!

    Damnit, should have went with the mage. Tanks are good at soaking damage not preventing it.

    Now our cleric has to burn themselves out healing.

    This reminds me of a skill in TERA that the Priest had that would stand up your entire group from a knockdown. That would be super useful in a situation like this. :)

    nah grill you want your clerics to be dishing out those sweet sweet damage spells and buffs. The best healing is a dead enemy that cant damage you.

    But you cant do that with your party standing in the "blast of light".

    Yea, Damnation. We don't need healing yet, especially if it looks like the floaty stuff in the image.

    Definitely need some time to get back into the game. A heal will help us buy that necessary time!

    See nobody ever listens...if Tanky hadn't gone first coulda used Crowd Control Break to fix what just happened and we wouldn't need a heal yet. Unfortunately now we do so they don't kill us while we're laying on the ground. Hard to fight with a knockdown spell on us...

    I suddenly remembered an old old day from vanilla wow
    When our 5-men group had unknowingly invited a shadow priest who refused to heal at all.

    Clerics, you're up!!

    Mages who weren't knocked over, prepare for counterattack!
    Archers at the ready!

    Rogues- ... where'd they go?

    If Tanky hadn't gone first, we'd have been floored by the incoming Dwarf AND hit by their Mage.

    Good ol' Tanky!

    Look man by the time the tank had waddled up to the front the mage could have cast at least 2 spells.

    Actually I would have used Hallowed Ground doing both damage to enemies and healing allies.
    Benediction appears to be a single target spell, not too efficient for a group.

    FYI: Benediction is a Chain Heal for up to three targets.

    Assuming it doesn't chain even further at higher ranks.

    This Rogue got knocked down so went to stelth hoping the next attack isn't a general area AOE... So I can get back in the fight...🤞😂🖖

    Just thinking that's what just happened and what could have been a counter...😉

    This is what happens when you let the tank go first vs the mage. The group gets CC'd.
    Should have gone fireball to the face.
    Damnation FTW!
    Most people never listen. They are just waiting on you to quit making noise so they can.

    "Half Knocked Down" NOT "Half are damaged"

    They don't need a healing skill right not. In fact, ya'll need to learn your cleric skills. Benediction isn't a HoT (Heal over Time) , it's a chained direct heal. It's not what is needed right now.

    What you need is for your group to recover from being knocked down (CC).

    The correct choice of skill is Damnation. A skilled up cleric, will have the highest levels of this skill, which provides a snare to the primary target that PBAoE around primary target, to snare other enemies nearby. The enemy is all bunched up tight together right now. Take advantage of their mistake.

    CC the enemy with Damnation, while the enemy is snared, your allies can get up from being knocked down. This is the correct choice.

    Learn your classes. xD

    This is NOT an approved Tulnar race! Maybe another Dwarf offshoot?

    Well excuse me for not thinking a snare is worth the global cooldown when your party has either been knocked down or damaged. Now if it was an actual hard cc you would have a point. But a snare is a silly choice They have a mage.

    I don't know because I ran away. I didn't have a group anyway. It was just me. I was alone when I found the orange gem. Now I'm lying under a tree on top of a hill trying to think of orange gem names. Tangerine is that one? That sounds like a gem name. I should find out how much it's worth before I trade it with someone.
