Well, 87k healed in 90 minutes is definitely a lot, I think I'm beginning to see Golena's point here. :) Perhaps the climate on Excalibur is more focused on siege, whereas Prydwen people since a few months back never does any siege warfare but only roam around in iRvR in some convenient frontier.

As for northernmonkey, don't give up, I am sure you are still not 100% accustomed to your role as Cleric and need some practice in RvR before you start performing really well. Being a support character in a pickup group can be frustrating, so strive at least to build a core of people in the group who you know and who also knows how to play. Oh, and if the group starts complaining about your heals, that is when you disband and look for another group (alternatively, kick the whiners).

Sorry for the hijack there, original thread subject was Sorcerers. :)

This statistic is rather pointless unfortunately as spreadheals don't add to your healed score.
Any non smite specced cleric will never show up on this list.

What this tells us is that the active clerics rely far too much on spreadheal
(yes I know there are times you need to use it, LoS, grp taking lots of dmg)but far too many rely on spreadheal and piss power up the wall.

Learn to use spec heals. Faster, Less power, Higher Heal value - everyone's a winner.

Personally I'd hope that Clerics moved spreadheal to another q-bar so they aren't tempted to use it at every opportunity. The value heal of the spread is piss poor and uses tons of power.

<cough> If you are a healing cleric, get 40%+ power pool </cough>

Where you need clerics for when half of the albion seems to be some sort of lifetap charater.

Because the army of Bonedancers, who then re-rolled Warlock didn't have
enough with Lifetap, they either got 2 healer pets or an insta powerless
spreadheal.

or perhaps you're a Hib

When qc-stun (9secs from pretty much any offensive Hib caster) > lifetap
and if you're an Enchanter your pet can heal.

If you're a Cabby or Sorc and interrupted - lifetap = no dmg/no health stolen

If you're a BD/WL - you're lifetaps are insta (so interrupted = nothing) and
besides your pets aren't being interrupted and can heal you whilst you're
being nuked.

If you're a chanter (for the pet healing), or any hib class, qc-stun = you win

I've discussed this subject a lot with my rl mates who all play hib/pryd (myself being alb/excal primarily). When running with them on pryd all we do is roam hadrian's and pennine, hardly any siege going on. This is also true to a few "good" groups roaming emain on excal every evening, but deffo not in the same scale. Will be fun to see how these two different attitudes towards RvR will merge come clustering.

I spend most of my RvR time doing siege with my friar, more often than not being in the top 5 of /stats heal (I blame Muylaetrix and Xorgio for that, crazy buggers ;) ) - think I had 170k healed in a few hrs. one evening. BUT that doesn't show anything about the efficiency of the clerics in the same group, because as people have pointed out spreadheals don't count towards /stats heal.

Also when doing towerfights, it's hard for a cleric to keep everyone (hell, even the ones taking damage) in LoS. No matter if your group is defending or attacking in towerfights, the cleric would have to put him/herself in a potentially dangerous situation to get LoS for single target heals. Same basically goes for keep fighting. In these situations, spreadhealing is the optimal choice for healing for primary healers. I think this is the specific reason we don't see that many clerics on the top of /stats heal on alb excal at least.

To quote Franciz here lol, what hes saying about keeps is true, half the time me and muy are popping MOC and leaping off towers shouting HEAL (only thing our cleric CAN do is spread) just so I can mezz the masses, debuff str/.con and let the icy goodness wash over them, obviously im stunned by the one i "missed" and nuked into oblivion at this point. Hell I get nuked into oblivion most nights, what you get for being a sorc
