Clerc AA : Turn Undead

[muurian]

On live, this was very useless thanks to the fear component.

On WR, its not as bad, but since there are 1.5 undead zones and fear doesnt even function, it could still use a bit of help.

Cleric Class AAs are mostly just convenient, with the possible exception of Celestial Regen (definitely not a show stopper either).

I was wondering if we could get a nice emergancy ability in place of Turn Undead? Perhaps a PBAOE long duration stun with a long recast? Or maybe a PBAOE Instant Ethereal Light? something of the nature that can save an xp group and even some raid situations but has a long enough recast to avoid exploitation.

Mind you, Turn Undead would be great if it just became chance to AE Disintegrate Undead under level 50-54 or something? Perhaps on a failed check the mob gets dmgd or stunned.

The AA itself has a 1 hour 12 minute recast timer. Something along the lines of a PBAOE heal or Area heal was what I was thinking aswell. Since the timer is fairly long, the heal can be somewhat decent.

Maybe at step one; a 300-500pt area heal, step two; 600-800pt area heal, step three; 1200-1600pt area heal.

Guaranteed to get a cleric killed on a raid, but it would have its uses, especially in group situations... and a heal with an hour recast could be somewhat special. Certainly more useful than an anti-undead spell.

While we're at it, Permenancy is pretty weak as well. I've never even seen Aego blink off yet, and by the time you get this you dont cast anything else except the occasional Divine Benevolence on a raid.

Our roles as buffers in the end game is extremely simplified.. maybe maybe maybe maybe Permenancy could be a Mark of Karn AA? That would be sooo great and limited by the recast. How about a new mark of Karn where only the PC the mob is HITTING gets healed? I think thats a great way to keep it viable without making it over powered against raid mobs.

While I am glad clerics dont really have any crucial AAs, we could use something a little spicey. We're already so boring as it is. Turn Undead and Permenancy are obivous candidates. The rest of the AAs are fairly effective. (Though 18 hours on Divine Rez seems a bit rough..or maybe the text is incorrect)
