smite clerics

[old.Nol]

I notice on one of the others servers I am on, that smite clerics have a bad group rep and don't tend to get grouped much, this the same for them on excal?

I ask because there certainly seem to be enough of you running around smiting me...

Never had any problems getting grps, u can never have 2 many clerics in a grp

If you do have problems on another server lie about ur spec and say ur rej specd, whose gonna know ?

 

[old.Nol]

hehehehe, not me, I am playing a minstrel(can't play any class without speed song anymore) but the people on that server were saying exactly the same thing, lie about your specc. I guess that would only work once per group lied to .

I just think it's weird, having a smite cleric in your group is like having uber damage that can rezz....

 

[c0ngo]

The base heals a cleric gets are ok as well, big heals are useless when fighting mobs cause they pull agro on ur healer which is the last thing u need

Smite Clerics will normally end up 48 smite, 23 rej and 9 enh so they're pretty good in grps really heals, dd smite, stun and emergency insta mez although there green buffs will suk.

 

[old.TheAussie]

isn't this normal that they are not so beloved as rejuv clerics?
Excal has too much clerics anyway ;D

* you are healed for 70 *
or getting killed by a mob cauz mr cleric is too busy with smiting

With rej at 23 my big heal does 4-500 per heal and it pulls agro quite regularly so smite Clerics have enough Rej to heal and a Rej Cleric isn't that much more help v's mobs really.

Well im now playing an armsman on USA, and i can honestly say i dont like grouping with all out smite clerics. I'd rather have a wiz or even better a theurgist for buffs and BT/PBT than a cleric who cant heal.

F34l the 700 hp heal and full health half mana rezz (casters gotta love full rejuv clerics)
base smite still does 250 - 350 dmg on a yellow con

I grouped with a smite-cleric, his mana went out after 4-5heals...

 

[Rhuric]

Then they dont know how to use there mana, I use the so called smallest heal with my cleric, heals from 150-200 and just 2s castingtime, but must say healing drains mana, dont know with the rejuv heals thou

Well DAoC aint like UO where every char have several "professions". When a group get a cleric they want a healer. period. . Leave the nuking to the wizs and other casters.

Clerics are atm a bit over powered since they can hit for allmost as much as us wizs and they have chain to...thats why their smite get nerfed in the next patch

Do your job and let me do mine! WIZ POWER!!!

1. 20% Cleric = Guy with too much power he doesnt know what to do with,
2. 60% Cleric = Smite.........uke:
3. 20% Cleric = Healer

I wont explain why a speced in Smite Cleric doesnt is as effective as a wizzie nuking... those who plays a Wizzard and/or play a Cleric know well its limitations...

Fire wizzards need badly the level 50 bolt of pyromancy.

The prob for smite is the low range and the casting time.
An Eldritch can cast you stun at 1500 range and then chain cast nukes until you die without you even be at range of smite.

Smite clerics do damage if they are at range... but they do not have stealth and you prolly will be chain rooted, mezzed, targeted by a grey pet/archer/caster, or if a "ugly big monkey with spear" (Hero) hit you ... better run like Forest G. 500+ really hurts.

I wish sometimes my hals were better.. but ey... I chose my spec line knowing I wont be a uber healer... I just accept it.

Smite-clerics are ok if they heal - stop smiting if u see groupm8 taking dmg! its not that hard in smaller battles
