As a cleric, you have a major role to play in your group. Wheather it be acting as the heal bot or adding to the confusion, you are a prime target on the field. Chances are your foes will be after your head before they get to your defenders/tanks. Meaning you have a few things to think about. Such as where to place yourself in offensive and defensive scenarios, what positions in your group to concentrate on in these scenarios, rez priority, timing your heals right, and how to best make use of all of your abilities to better the chances of your groups survival. You should also be thinking about how every aspect of your strategy may need to change at a seconds notice depending on the environment in which your battle is taking place. While we cannot know exactly what our class will look like until more info on skills/gear comes our way, as a "healer" class, we can take from past healer experience and known Aion information to, collectively, come up with a better idea as to what our place in PVP/PVE really is. Please use this thread as a way to post ANY ideas, thoughts, theories, open questions, strategies, and past experiences etc to help better our understanding of how to go about being the best dang clerics out there! Think of this as a chance to share anything you know about taking on the "healer" role. Who knows?.. You might even learn something.

Ok I guess ill make a starter. Do you think, as a healer with some offensive abilities, you will hang back behind the warriors while on the offensive side, or fight as a support healer on the front line? Now there are a few pros and cons to this scenario. You could be an effective front line support as you have mail+stuns along with some nukes. Oh, and being closer to the action means all your tanks/O-line will definitely be within your area heal range (not sure of the range so I'm guessing.. :P). I think if you have a well organized group and a backup medic, being an 0-line Cleric may be viable. And of course hanging back as the heal bot is always viable in most games. :P But then again, It all depends on your play style. So what do you think you will be doing while on the offensive? /discuss
