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

Hey those burritos aren't gonna eat themselves.

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.

they're probably just playing their blue cleric as an alt while mainly focusing on their red character

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.

Hah...

It's pretty much the classic way to play a cleric... (unlike enchanters using pets)
Not buffing HP/AC is unacceptable though.

I guess paladins try harder because they feel like they need to justify the exp penalty, or maybe the one you're talking about is a hard worker and pushes all his chars to the maximum.
