Mid-Range Cleric Heals

[Thade]

I bet this is a very small minority of players who plays in this tier and upper,so why is
everything balanced around them?

Because the game is balanced around who most of the new raid content is made for. and dundundun that's high tier players. Also like 15-20% of the server population is at that tier, or can get into pick up raids at that tier. It makes sense the game is balanced around where people play the raid game, and the majority of the raiding guilds tend to be centralized.

With my 65 Shammy I cant even do easier places as a main healer because of missing group heals,he simply cannot cast his single target heals fast enough to keep a group up if there
are aoe'ing mobs,Rust,Enlightened Mashines,Eld's Wizards trash,RSM etc. comes to my mind.
Note,I do not want group heals,but seeing that a class other than Cleric that already had
group- and complete- heals now even gets another healing spell line looks quite unbalanced
to me.

Get some resist buffs maybe an enchanter or a bard? I main healed all of those on tier without too much of a problem.

Budrick described him as "an act of god." I think he is some kind of mutant with 8 arms, or an entire factory of children each with one key under their control that they have to press and are constantly being fed adderhol or something.

While I love Raoden and think he's an amazing player, he's still a druid and still has to cope with all the drawbacks of being a druid. Smaller heals mana intensive dps and the like.

But really in any of the real ikisith raid content there's a handful of mobs which a druid could dps on instead of healing. And then you could have had the shaman dpsing instead and doing full dps (500-600+ dps on a full dps rotation depending on mobs poison resist) while the druid healed full time. You'd get more dps and a better raid over all. Really a druid dpsing on raids is a misappropriation of raid resources.

Really a druid dpsing on raids is a misappropriation of raid resources.

Eh, for a few old world fights when you're on tier its better for the druid to dps for at least part of the fight. Not always though. Iksith I sent to Obs in a pm about what i've seen so far, but I can't speak for content I have yet to see. Although the trend does seem to be incredibly high dps fights, so it is possible to speculate most of the time it won't be happening.

This is still really a side point of general utility though, and people just straight up not playing clerics. Am I really the only one that sees the lack of mained clerics as an issue considering so much content is balanced around them? It just seems we're forcing people to play a class which is generally not likeable. For those who dont' know, I main a cleric on raids, but I run perma boxed outside of raids. For raids an 6 man, or any hard content where you have to pay attention clerics are really fun. Outside of that its just mind numbing though =\

Its an issue...such that we threw 5 relics and 3k mana worth of upgrades at a very promising cleric app that promptly had like huge IRL issues and has been missing for a month now wru clerics.
