Whats up with all those lazy clerics ?

[Diogene]

Just wanted to share my opinion on this one and possibly gather different opinions

I play enchanter on blue and when I happen to see a cleric in the group, the dude only seems to know one thing : HEALING. Once he is done with that, he simply goes afk, sitting medding, maybe eating burritos. I mean, its pretty rare I get buffs from cleric groupmates as a chanter, and when my charm breaks, I never see any of them trying to stun / root the pet. They act like they were born to HEAL ONLY (maybe rez once in a while).

I remember that Paladin a little while ago : the guy was pulling, CC'ing, tanking, stunning my charm breaks and healing all at the same time. The Pally was truly awesome as he knew how to play his class.

So what the f*ck is wrong is clerics ?

Just... bad luck ?

Oh, yes... I forgot I should have ask em before if they could do a little more than just healing via PM... But I did! And I got this answer from a fellow cleric : I cant CC your freakin pet man, Im busy medding in case tanks are going bad.

I should aslo mention I have all sorts of macros including a "CHARM BREAK" one to let everyone know when this happens

/sigh

I took a break from here but I have to say I noticed the same thing last time I played. I had to ask for buffs from most clerics as an enchanter (not symbols, just HP/AC) and I didn't really have the feeling they had my back in the same way I was used to. Maybe it's just bad luck on my part. I'm sure there are still many excellent clerics out there.

I rarely play my blue cleric anymore but I was always watching, rooting, ghetto CC'ing (stunning a 2nd inc mob and rooting it away from the first).

Plenty of things a cleric can do, especially with no enchanter in a group.

Its a boring class that breeds laziness. As an enchanter you have to be focused at all times while playing. As a cleric in a good group you just have to have sound up a bit and check the window to make sure no one died while you were browsing reddit or facebook.

I also notice that there's some clerics who suck badly, and they get annoyed when you tell them so. When I play my 60 clr everyone gets full buffs. However rooting and stunning as a cleric is a bad idea, you are just wasting your mana.

I root when needed when I play my cleric (enchie is overwhelmed, or just dont have a enchie) I also stun enchie pets too, rather be fast with a stun than waste 350 mana using DL on them. Low lvl stun is next to no mana FYI, and its a very fast cast. Stun is also great for duo with a enchie. After u stun the pet break, once it wears off you got full aggro. So you tank the pet so enchie can recharm. Instead of enchie getting interrupted trying to recharm.

As for the OP, yea you right. Most are lazy as hell

You are correct that this works, but only because we are playing eqclassic where mobs don't hit for anything and are completely trivial. You could also run around in circles every time pet breaks with like a 99% success rate. When you are playing in a more difficult expansion and a charm pet breaks, the cleric immediately casts heal on the enchanter and the enc stuns the mob himself, then casts a short duration mez, and recharms. That's everquest 101. But we are not in a more difficult expansion so I concede that cleric stunning is a valid strategy.
