Why are you going to pick Cleric?

[Omegaforce]

Now that would be A OK for me Calindor, as a healer I have no intention what so ever of busting out my mace in a party to help with DPS. I'll leave that to the other classes. All I wanna do is stand in back and keep my party alive. I could see Aion doing something along those lines were if you heal somebody engaged in a PVP fight you get credit or something.

Why is it that all girls who play healing classes they all have boyfriends that just happen to be tanks? It was like that in FFXI and WoW for me. I need to find me a girl who loves tanking and I can be her Cleric in shining armour

Yeah that would look totally macho

lol Omega, actually my boyfriend enjoys sorcerer classes as well, but recently hes been more of a melee guru. :P

As for healers getting PvP points, it doesn't matter to me, my enjoyment comes from keeping my master and friends alive, if I have to sacrifice my points or whatever thats fine by me. ^_^
And the clerics ability to defend themselves in PvP I expect to be good, because the game is centered around the epic battle. But if they happen to be somewhat weaker than normal, I would still play one, I trust my skills as a healer to make a undeveloped class a useful member in PvP. ^_^<3

meaning you do take big hits, But you can heal yourself.
That's how you kinda make up for that.

A healer in Heavy armor with big hp big mana pool would be imba.

So thats MMO 1o1 that cost you 20 dolla meng.
I accept paypal.

Way before L2 I used to play NWN/AD&D 2/D&D 3/3.5 and I've always had the archetype totally different - for me cleric was a heavy armor wearing, mace/sword + shield wielding powerhouse. Now there clerics were imba (well... the system itself allowed for such such amazing builds that I'm lost for words to describe it).
Then came L2 with the "squishies"...

I still miss those days (DDO was fun too, but I wasn't the same somehow).

I'm gonna start believing your BF and mine are twins ^_^


It's a cliché that girls only like to play healing classes, I'm currently playing Cabal, where my main is a warrior with a sword that's bigger then herself, and I love bashing in the heads of everything that dares to get to close to me
Actually, I like playing all classes, I usually end up making one of each anyway, but for some reason I enjoy healing the most.
One of the things I enjoy doing when I'm bored is to go heal/buff all the newbies in the low lvl area's ^_^


I guess I'm not as good hearted as kitten, so I do want to get some rewards for my work. I hope they implement abyss points for healing, it's not very nice when only DPS classes get to have the rewards. I hate it when people get the idea that healing is just spamming your heal button while you watch TV, like keeping your whole party alive requires no skill at all

any pvp based MMO i've ever played the healer was the most usefull class, and a skilled healer is more valuable than any other skilled class

Hey I've been playing Cabal lately too! I have a wizard, but I'm thinking about making a force blader. ^_^ It also does seem like ourselves, as well as our men have alot in common Millenia.

Its also a big pet peeve of mine for people to act like a monkey(or mod in wow) can do just as good of a job at healing! But then again, it seems everyone who knows me and how well I play, prefers me over anyone or thing else. ^_^<3

OMG maybe you and Millenia have the same BF. It's gonna suck for him when Aion comes out and he has to decide who to party with

Oh this will all change with Aion Kitten....

Player 1: "Oh look two clerics are looking for a party, lets get one!"
Player 2: "It's Kitten and Omegaforce..."
Player 1: "WOW, THE Omegaforce, the legend of healing, well S*it!! Let's get him instead"

Of course this is all true

You should try a Force archer, they are the healers after all ^_^
They do have very low def and mediocre but fast damage.

Player 1 again: Oh, Millenia just logged on, nevermind about those 2
Then I would demand Kitten to be invited too , 2 healers are even better and you are to busy bragging anyway! ^_^

anyway.. if u wana try my FA pm me.. u just need to sell a lot from my thinks.. my inventory is way too full and no money :|

In my opinion being a Cleric does require skill. Simply because there I can see the difference between a good Cleric and a bad one. Healing isn't the only thing a Cleric can do, I except far more from one than that in a group. That goes for all classes actually :P.

Seriously, a tank that doesn't use his taunt abilities is a real joke.

[Killshandra]

i ve seen cleric/ priest that are a shame for all the people that pick this class:

ex doing boss quest (that have Aoe skill) organization :

I heal the tank (so i need only to spam heal the tanker) pls this said to other can you take care of healing me and the group when the boss AOE ...sure the other ep answer .......wanna know the rest

[Pillow]

Another good thing about playing a healing class is it's hard for the dev's to nerf them. MMO's require a main healer for most parties and if they really nerf a healing class, people will not play it as much. I'm not saying that they will never ever nerf Cleric, but we'll be left alone compaired to how much balanceing they will be doing with class's such as gladiator and assassin, ect.

And I think everybody can agree that getting nerfed is one of the most irritating things that can happen when you are leveling, or PvP'ing with a character daily.

[LethalGT]

Healers are great.

I just hate the healers that over estimate there importance in raids and act really snobby just because they rolled a healer.

Other than that, GO HEALERS!

[Ecco]

I'm going Cleric because I want to play support for groups, that and I'm not much of a melee-type, but that doesn't make me weak, I just like playing defensive types roles.

Another thing in most games, healers never really get thanked after say...a dungeon, instance or raids, not saying that everyone else don't deserve praise for completing, but I guess a lot of people are too focused on doing damage to realize who was actually trying to keep them alive during the whole time. I'm not sure how people think that we're just 1-button pressers, spamming that heal button, when we get aggro, either:

a. Run around like a krazed kitten
b. Try to remove aggro and let another tank the mobs
c. Just die and cause grief for your group. >.>

Then again, I play healer classes, because it fun in who keep alive first, makes it pretty exciting when your group is getting hurt (Not that I enjoy it all the time o.O) at the same time and you have to figure how to heal first, keep you on your toes and maybe from getting bored which can happen sometimes when the group rarely needs a heals and you're just standing there, or maybe trying to DPS yourself.

Btw, we're human, not robots...though we can be if we want to be too. Not all healers are total asses, just the people behind the that pretty avatar playing and some really good healers deserve some kind of pampering if he/she can keep 10 people alive, but not be overdoing it of course.
