Rejuv/smite cleric

[samildanachh]

How would 1 of these compare to a rejuv/enhanze cleric, bear in mind im in a rvr guild which has a endless supply of buffbots.
i wuld think it wuld be better, i mean i wouldnt smite endlessly and never heal, i would only really ever use smite in desperate situations or at correct times, like hitting pbaoe mez while a few tanks on u wuld be good, k only 4s mes with det5 aom5 savages but still its good. also i think it wuld give greater versatility that an enhanze speced cleric. i wuld be primiary rejuv so like 41 then rest smite prolly

ur opinions pls

 

[bouh]

it's kk if u have preset grp with a bb.
not as good as regr/nature dru but still better then a second reju/enh cler in grp.

Edit: as least u can get pets off for a while.

 

[samildanachh]

ye i think with buffbots in grps its a very viable choice. amount of times i hear cleric yell PET ON ME PET ON ME GET IT FUCKING OFF ME!.

 

[old.Filip]

ask mess or alaar from HB .... mess dont play his cleric that much though ... same with alaar .. alaar is semi new cleric came from EQ, but i think he was the cleric with most rps/week some time ago. he is good...

btw ... it is hell when you got em in same group and the group lack BB's

U always need 1rejuv/enh cleric in a group for resists and emergency buffing when someone dies.

Next to that a rejuv/smite cleric might be fine. 40 rejuv / 35 smite /9 enhance or just 41 rejuv / 35 smite as viable options.

Biggest problem is you really need to be cautious with smite. It might be tempting to some clerics to just smite away instead of healing and draining their mana like that.

Mana is issue nr.2 after interrupts for clerics, and smite takes alot of mana.

Imo...

Smite made it more fun for me to play my Clr... But it is a pain when ur the only cleric in the group and cant buff or cast resists...

The extra pwr i use to cast the occasional smite isint noticable... But i got MCL2 and RP so it might be a bad idea for a low RR cleric...

Im lvling a BB up atm, so i can play my Smitzor without feeling bad about it...

Regardless of how many MotA5 L50 bots you have at atk you still need enhance spec on rejuv clerics. Why? Resists. Clerics are lucky enough to be gifted with group soul buffs (energy/body/spirit) Getting the second level resist buffs gives the group your with a big bonus to chance of resisting mezzes. If you do happen to get mezzed it will be for less time and the extra energy might grant you a few more seconds when getting pbae'd from chanter zergs =]

When i get round to leveling a rejuv cleric myself, gonna do something like 40 rej/36 enh/4 smite.

hmm, i seem to remember cougar talking bout smite/rejuv clerics a month ago and everyone laughing

 

[samildanachh]

thats cuz he is couger

 

[old.Filip]

[old.Wildfire]

you are grouping with Albion as a whole, ofc your gonna be grouping with rejuv/smite clerics

 

[xplo]

I'm 41 rej / 35 enh / 3 smite

I get a 9 sec pbaoe mezz on that, it works for 1 sec on pets and det tanks but is great for aoe interrupting a hib group that starts casting pbaoe

I might go smite at high rr, but for now i'm staying enh

 

[poppamies]

even if u think the 20 or so sec pbaoe mezz sux, it will give the cleric 2-3 sec to sprint away from chasing tanks/pets, so he can heal u in a fight, a cler with no smite at all is totally depending on the grp to kill even grey con pets, so he can heal.
With some smite he can mezz the pet or kill it (with the help of hes dmg add in 2-3 hits), if he got no smite, he needs moc to heal hes grp.
A full enc/rej cler. needs a goot guard so he can do hes job, while a smite or 3 spec cler can manage on hes own alot better, in killing a pet, stopping a tank for a few sec so he can get away.

from reading this thread it shows exactly why albion on excal is so poor, hibs make nature druids, mids make both aug/mend and pac/mend and mend/pac healers, the point is, decent guilds should never leave apk without 2 clerics and in this case there is not 1 single reason why the 2nd should not be smite.

Smite you can single target DD to interupt, ae DD the pbaoe box, heal just as good as ur Enh spec friend and ofc you have your pbaoe mezz which lasts longer than the shitty 9sec thing all clerics have atm.

Albion needs to sort themselves out and do stuff like samil is trying here, you lose nothing by 1 enh/rej cleric and 1 reg/smire cleric and you gain a alot...The sad part is where people find a downside to that QQ

 

[K0nah]

every grp need a 41rej cleric

every grp needs 16% resist buffs (altho not many have them atm ^^)

u cant have both on 1 cleric...

41rej 35smite is like a schitzophrenic cleric, hes the main healer/rezzer but hes spending half his time (and mana) smiting? i dont think so...

35rej 38enh 15smite, is my clerics spec.

good point, but u can always use them buffbots at apk every 10mins

A 35 smite spec cleric will kill a pet no quicker than a 35 enhance one, the enhance line has a dps buff as well now, but the main problem is actually hitting the pet as pbt carries to a druid pet no matter how far it is and will absorb the blow even if the pet is only level 7.

Healers have 3 decent lines, hence some healers going pac/mend others going mend/aug etc.
Druid also has 3 decent lines (although NA is poor above 36 its still very much worth speccing up to that point).

Clerics with just 1 smite get a range nuke to interupt with, ae dd the pbae box will break all mezz and root effects, more importantly root, better to let the sorc and mins do the ae interupting there. Like I always say the only advantage of high smite is a better pbae mezz, the pbae dd might be quite good for quickly killing grey con druid pets as well.

 

[wyleia]

If your groups run with two clerics.. hell yes go smite. Your buffbots are only at apk if you need to rebuff if for some reason too many of your group die and the one enhance cleric doesnt have enough to spec everyone (you could still do base)..

a halfway sorta kinda maybe decent pb aemezz.. that could save your group vs a hib attack... gives you a bit more versatality at the very least since your enhance line isnt used at all barely.
Other cleric in group can resist buff and rebuff dead ppl.
