Oh my. Been in away for a while and this is still a thing.
Unfortunately it will always be a thing. People will always see one class/spec as the superior healing class/spec and b@tch when someone who could play that doesn't. Will never end, in this game or the next.

Kelebra of Seastone (Mage-Alt)
Remorse of Seastone (Warrior-Alt)
Nine of Seastone (Rogue-Alt)
mob rule and pure democracy is idiotic in every possible way. /fail.
There are more powerful heals when put on their own. But the true key to best done healing is mixing multiple well played roles that dish out heals. Need to get a variety of protective mechanics rolling. Shields plus pumping full heals~
But still legit, I get why tons of cleric just don't feel like healing. Glad I have DPS options D:
100% THIS ^. charliekelly and all the other elitists should probably roll heal clerics if they value them so highly, rather then telling every other pub player how they SHOULD be entertaining themselves.
The trickle healing would work only if everyone is stacked but even then it's just minor healing worse than chloros and worse than wardens.
Morealso you have power cord that's pretty much useless in any situation in the build (it's both dps and heal loss). Verse of captivation has 1.5sec cast and it's very difficult to pull off(also means no dots). The build is missing virtuoso and improved competence aura too.
Tact bard might be somewhat useful in conquest but even then multiple osculations and orchestra are a better idea.
Rogues aoe heal may show huge numbers under healing done tab, but it's close to useless for pvp and bigger raid. This heal will NOT save anybody from getting focused. Clerics on the other hand have also absorb shield so they can actually outheal a lot of burst dmg.
PvP in RIFT is good only @forum.
Rather have Clerics playing shaman one of the highest dps souls in the game with good burst and utility then heal some piss poor rogue who can't play simple MM or Sin correctly that plaques warfronts. Or some piss poor mage failing at pyro and dom (cough op)

Burst damage is not the only form of damage flying around in a warfront. You need more than single target burst healing to keep people alive in a warfront.
"microtransactions done properly is game design done poorly." - Some dude on an internet forum
Fact remains, healing is the most important part to keep a team standing and not lose your firepower.
However that only works if you have some firepower to begin with.
Whenever I'm the the warrior the decisions are easy: burn people, go melee and burn them harder or sit back and pullbot.
It's usually tempest cuz either heals or dps are lacking too much to go with 2nd or 3rd sadly.
On mage it's usually dom and dom and dom yet again and dom.
Sometimes chloro with ap because there's a lack of healing and very rarely pyrodom/necro sth of the likes (I'm sorry but I never enjoyed pure pyro, not even when it had that nice lolucantccmeground)
Cleric heals in most matches, defiler or sent really.
Rarely it's just inq cuz there's plenty healers or if there's too many of them even, shaman.
Rogue goes sin and kills sins or mm, bards an awefull lot too though.
Seriously though, play what brings yourteam ahead on the char you're on, simple.
Don't be a nooby wow *** and just sit there and play a terrible dps all day, then complain about something on forums cuz you're losing a lot.
There's reasons why we can carry up to 20 roles ffs.
As someone who actually plays a sentinel cleric... this is simply not true.
A bard healing means I can actually concentrate on healing the person that is focused and dont have to watch out for half my team slowly dying to splash damage/dots etc.
It is extremely useful to have a bard or warden on the team!

we will add RVR if the players want it - well let them know here that we want it
Yeah, its pretty much in there as a joke now
No one should be dieing from dots, if you are a Sentinel - no oneWarden is bad to recommend for warfronts. If you have 15 -20 raid members together then yes but anything less they are better off running dps if they refuse to role a more suitable healing soul.

The game is focused entirely around pocket healers now (more so than before when we had hybrids ect) and there's a huge S*itstorm brewing. When push comes to shove the devs won't budge and now we've got all the f2p fodder bleeding out into other games again because there's no way to pvp as a solo anymore without being total fodder.
2013 was Rift's last chance to break molds and instead they'd rather be stuck in their ways.

As someone who actually plays bard and tactician in WF / CQ I can easily claim that he's not reuqired and far from game changing. They give some helpful stuff but I would take another cleric or mage healing instead of healing bard / tact any time.
Maybe when you play with your p90 friends against fresh 60 in freelancer then you can find bard or tact heals good, but in even situation is nothing that can't be replaced by another cleric. The only difference is that another clerics = another battle rez, while bard and tact cant rez for **** (this makes difference in CQ / open world pvp)
