Cleric DPS falling behind

[Bowler Hat]

It's an inbetween spec, sure - but it plugs the hole perfectly and no other spec would be able to perform as highly.

The 44 point variant has bigger DoL's so I would say that it performs much better.

Either way this isn't the place to quibble about Inquisicar specs.

Ladies, back to the point please! Cleric dps has fallen behind. Argue in world chat channel which spec is more gimped, inquisicar or senticar.

I do wish the purple named lurker would give some tidbits on what the general plans are for clerics in the immediate future. Maybe even a few ideas on what new crap we are getting in 2.0.


I mean it's a few months but it's only a few months.

I'm inclined to think that this points more towards a problem with 51pt builds being set up as our best dps options. Hybrid specs like BnJ or Faejolt don't have the option of picking up those critical 11 points in Justi because the points are necessary elsewhere for max dps. If our dps souls had more compatibility to create higher damage hybrid specs, justicar healing would be a complete non-issue, and we'd likely be in a better spot in terms of build scaling as well. But because of the 36 pt talents that add scaling based on tree investment, right now, 51pt builds are monsters.

(At least, according to your perspective as stated above... I happen to feel that 51pt -icar builds are not a problem because of miens, but I think that more hybrid options and less emphasis on 51pt dps builds would fix a lot of real problems, in addition to dealing with what I consider at this point the imaginary issue of -icar heal scaling.)

Couldn't agree more with this statement.

I don't really agree with that. The main problem that you're talking about is solved pretty easily if you just make Doctrine of Loyalty require 16 points or more of investment into Justicar. Also, 51 point builds imho have to be viable or there's not much point having full soul trees. I know the soul system is flexible, but I do like the idea of each soul being like a class on it's own as well.

Have you ever bought someone a really cool present (at least that's your hope) and gone crazy wishing you could just tell them what it was about a million times every day?

As a cleric, you doesn't afraid of anything. Forget Daggy and Gerch, just spill some beans.

[Implying]

Oh zinbik..... please..... just don't gimp us.

Just don't nerf the heals....

Just.... don't

One thing i'd really like to see is an ability to reduce pushback. Going from 4.2k down to 3.8k on Ituziel within a minute and a half is a huge drop.

^ Just doing this maybe even getting no pushback at all, like mages would easily help us have a shot, since most of the decent builds revolve around BoJ.

This would be nice for PvP, as well. We don't have many instant casts available to us, and once those are used up we're a slave to push back. I lose plenty of 1v1s due to various instants being on CD, and enemy DPS constantly pushing back my BoJ bar.

YES! My proposed 22/22/22 druid/puri/warden will now be top dps. I can't wait.
