This is painful for me. Luclin opened up the cleric class a *lot*. With the new Yaulp series and summoned hammer - I was able to actually DPS (ok yeah granted it was crap) while medding and being the only healer in a group. It really made the class a lot more interesting to play. I mean honestly, I comment in-game that my skill at Floor Tile Warming just went up.
However, PoK was bad. When a caster dinged - most of the fun was hunting down your new spells; even if you could look up where they were sold after a while. Plus the books totally killed my (then) main Wizzy's easiest source of income. It just became a different game when Luclin launched. Then PoP and IIRC that's when we got AA's and it just got stupid. I remember being a 65 cleric with 300+ AA getting turned down for a group because they only wanted people with a ton more.... Do you really want to see that here?
