Clerics kinda OP?

[kyris?]

just fought a lvl 44 cleric who was hitting me for 500~ damage consistently, while his dots ticked on me for 300~ every few seconds and hitting me with 'divine spark' for 1k damage every 20 seconds or so. he was able to take me from full hp (7k) down to dead in about 30 seconds.

meanwhile he was rooting me every 10 seconds (lasts 6 seconds) and of course healing himself whenever he got low

I checked his profile and he was fully stacked with +HP manastones...

now, if he was full magic boost stones i could understand this kind of damage but cmon hitting for 1k damage with full hp stones is kinda blargh. even sorcs don't hit me for 1k damage :E

and then there's this guy in full abyss gear with magic boost stones:

You're a templar, you're wearing plate armor.
Plate armor has horrible Magic resist.

Also, you're a tank class, you're not meant to kill classes that can heal themselves and can only be taken down through burst damage.

Also divine spark only has a 20% procrate, meaning it cant be used 80% Of the time after the prerquisite skill chain has been used.

And you can get out of the root by using a potion.

30 seconds to down 7000hp.. I'm guessing you didnt use potions in any form or shape?

Next time make a youtube vid of it, so we can see how it's you that failed and not the cleric that is overpowered.

[Yup]

I think you need to be more careful and actually be accurate with your claims before shouting OP. Many things are wrong in your post, and how about actually stacking a bit of magic resist? if divine spark is hitting you for 1k+ then you must get rofl stomped by every sorc!... or your very low lvl.

thank you!

so please explain the 'mechanics' then? what do you sacrifice to attain such high damage? do you lose some defense or healing? or what?

i.e as a templar, if i want to pvp and actually do damage / get kills, i have to use all crit/attack manastones, which kinda gimps me for PvE and tanking because i take alot more damage. so what does cleric sacrifice for their damage ?

Hmm the Aion Templar doesn't match like Guild Wars Shock Warrior at all. You gotta full burst them. And they are still alive retreat. No point to continue battle when their one card > all yours card.

You're a templar, that's a defensive class. You're socketed with full PCH so without magic res you're going to get hit for every CC and every damage spell.

The spells are balanced such that they expect spells to be resisted frequently.

Your character is a full high damage melee tank. You've decided to spec yourself so that you deal extremely large amounts of close range damage and take very little physical. You expect to be good against ranged casters too, when you've made no effort at all to spec towards them?

Except there is no class Clerics does poorly agaist.

[Nunkuruji]

1k Divine Touch probably. Spark should probably be hitting for 2-3k at lvl44.

[Yup]

Really? ever tried dueling a SM? *Cough*

I play a cleric and if i would rather have a game where the main healer was over powered.

If the healer is under powered it just becomes a loldps nukefest of an fps mmo.

I know all the dps cry when a healer can 1v1 them into next week but you have to see the big picture.

Clerics are OP and those of you who disagree with that obviously have no clue first hand. While I haven't had a problem like the OP with uber dmg being done on me but the fact that a cleric can get hit by two mobs and a player yet still heal them self w/o being interrupted is a problem. Ah nvm this is gonna fall on deaf ears because the Aion community is a terrible soup of fanboys that talk a lot of crap and ks/gs everyone in game and usually ends in go back to wow.

nevermind...........

I play a cleric, although it is only lvl 30 atm, and yes we are powerfull in 1vs1. But this game isn't balanced around 1vs1, its balanced around mass pvp, and if a templar can kill us in a 1 on 1 fight then we are going to be pretty nyerked when we have 2 or 3 assassins on us in a large fight. And its a safe bet that all you people whining about us in 1vs1 fights will be the first to start whining when we cant heal you in group pvp because we are too bussy being dead.

So whats the answer, don't tryand take a cleric unless you have someone to help you, 2 on 1 we drop quickly, and if you don't have someone with you get some friends.

In a game that is not balanced and doesn't claim to be balanced for 1v1 I can live with that. If we have to double team the cleric to bring them down then I say great. In virtually every mmo the goal is to burn down the healers first and then hit everyone else. This game actually makes you choose. If you don't hit the healer, everyone else is harder to kill, but the healer takes long enough to go down that it may make more sense to go after the nuke caster first. The last class in the game, that I want to see being sucky to play is the main healer.

If, however, you were looking for a good 1v1 solo pvp gank game then this one will probably disappoint. It will never be balanced for that, even in the rock, paper, scissors sense.

Clerics and chanters I can solo as a ranger.

If you mash your buttons like a wowtard of course you'll lose.
