New use for smite cleric in RvR :P

[Balbor]

Running around emain early saturday morning i found a totally new way my smite cleric can be useful in open rvr (appart from making SB look silly) while part of an Alb tankgroup. The make up was 1 Sorcerer, 2 Paladins, 2 Mercs and 3 clerics, 2 were under L50 rej spec.

Anyway, a battle starts and so does the lightning, 3 smites later i have two trolls using twin weapons trying to cut holes in me. I take out me handy mace and start bashing away, but my healths not going down, cause the other 2 healers are pritty much free to heal. By the time anyone figures out what's going on there healers are conducting a close inspection of the fair green grass and those 2 troll now deside they're on the decoy and make a move to get the real clerics - OH NO you turned your back on a smite cleric and now you're Stuned.

Anyway, nosie smiting clerics are easy to class as a cleric, all know that to win you must first kill clerics, quiet rej clerics able to do there job .

Cool!


But could the rejuv clerics not just use baseline smite to fake being smiters?

 

[hangianix]

Kinda stupid reju's if didn't use stun as well...

 

[Kahland]

Yeah, cleric base stun is very good

especially with the new longer range instead of the old 850(?)

 

[hangianix]

1000->1350 and in 1.65 maybe 1500. Haven't checked yet whether they let it in.

Tho will s*ck at 1st with new range, due to smite still 1350. So you can stun but not nuke.

 

[[Oo]Escape]

Stun is cool, untill you make the mistake of using it on a Druid with that grey-con pest beside him. Thinking "baby wolf will agro on me, like... wtf can he do".

...and you spend the rest of the fight running away from a lv7 pet 'cause the bastard keeps on interrupting you

Try hitting the _lvl 7_ pet then? it's got ~150 life fgs.

No don't kill me little wolfie - still makes me laugh that people run round for ages with the little blighter nibbling at them when they can probably kill it in two hits.

[old.Sko]

Two types of grey pet - level 7 (35 Nurture 41 Regrowth) - definatly be killed in a few hits and level 12 (35 Nurture 40 Regrowth 9 Nature). Not sure how many hits it takes to kill the Level 12 pet, but probably not that many more.

Well insta+1 hit (kinda big due to self dmg add) is enough, tho would be better if just the insta could kill it.

PBT on the pet is annoying

Did smite clerics actually ahve a use in rvr before this? or ever?
:lol:

 

[Shanaia]

I was one of the lowby <coughs 47> rejuv clerics and off-fecking-course I was stunning

Was a great run btw .. I see why mids like to run around with 3 healers ... pretty much makes you impossible to beat without stlong assist-training

gave me 9000 rp's ... not bad for a lowby cleric

Another question, have you ever had a good RvR grp? Or just read it somewhere

 

[Mills]

i dont think u need to be a smite cleric for stun, ive played a cleric thank you. i was mearly pointing out thats all, asking if smite clerics actually do have an rvr use? and yes thank you ive had a few good rvr groups..... O and er, if u notice in my message, i generalise it when i say clerics, as in i mean all clerics, not jsut smiters.. i no clerics get a baseline stun

 

[Silenzio]

mmm cant get it mmm

 

[Bleam]

Smite cleric was fun

* Pre SC
* Pre Smite nerf
* Pre RA's

I used to be running around with my highest rr cleric on lancelot server with a minstrel, I was like omgwtfunbeatable
A stealther jumps me, stun / mez with minst and run away and smite
half fg mids were easy in those days... run in and mez not get resisted due to gimp epic stuff :0

Minst mezzes I keep smiting

Where were the times :'(

 

[zenith_merc]

oO

Tbh.. We are running with a cleric with 21 smite.. And you should ( if u have it, that I think you should have ) use the insta pbaoe thingy when getting to healers/pbaoe grps.
Its really good, tbh.

|Unless things have changes...Stun is baseline.

Rejuvers who dont use Stun in battles(battles where the opportunity arises) isnt using their full armoury.

 

[ilienwyn]

Well if you use stun at a determination tank you give them a very nice slam immunity without actually stopping them at all. With high determination the 9sec baseline stun lasts almost 0sec

My rejuv/enh cleric in thidranki uses it to devastating effect sometimes... Usually cuts out a savage or BD for long enough for people to be able to kill it, if my group are on the ball that is.
