Are chanterbuffs worth it?

[Libh]

I mean, chanters get the shaft on heals right?
and they cant do meledps as well as the dps classes.

But does their buffs/mantras make them indispensable like say bards or whatever in daoc?

Or are they more like pre-endchant-pallies, usefull but not so much?


Im trying to figgure out if Im going to sick with my cleric or my chanter

both will be essential in pvp imo

ya I can see clerics beeing needed in group-pvp for heals as chanters dont heal as good.

But what does chanters have thats going to be needed in pvp?

 

[eksdee]

speed
insane combat debuffs
group buffs (stun mantra is almost good enough to warrant the class on its own imo)
nearly spammable melee stun

imo a chanter is alongside cleric and templar a must have class for pvp.

if you dont have one and the enemy group do, you will notice.

Well chanter buffs add more damage taken to the player aswell effectively, if a spiritmaster comes along and strips all chanter buffs they take a substantial amount of damage.

contemplated making one to take the edge off between the grind but i'm reading a lot of bad stuff about them 25+... that their heals are 'ok' but the role isn't very well defined as in if you attempt any mellee you would be burst down very quickly, is this true?????

[...]that their heals are 'ok' but the role isn't very well defined[...]

This is what worries me aswell and draws me towards the templar and the cleric, at least they have propperly difined roles

The first time you are able to kite an angry zerg of asmodeans in morheim will be the time when you decide not to go rifting without a chanter anymore.

At least thats how it was for me.

I think mantras arent stripable.

there not as they arent actual buffs, but auras without a timer.
