Default I have never played EQ PVP.

And I'm really really curious about it.

If I were to start on Red99, I'll want to be a Cleric. My question is, how do I transform from the pacifist-loving-cozy-knitting-girly-cleric that I am, to a badass-rage-monster-uberbeast-with-complete-heal? What do PvP Clerics do?

Please halp.

PvP Clerics get gang raped so they can't heal...you DA and DB and pray to get ignored long enough to get off a heal. Once you're able to be attacked again, you die. This is of course assuming that you're participating in group pvp. If it's solo pvp, you cast a blind/root/nuke and realize that its all magic based and will be resisted 75% of the time and then you just gate/run.

This man is a fucking moron, clerics are the most important class for group pvp and a properly prepared cleric will win almost any 1v1.

A cleric can't really kill anyone with really high MR. Pre-Kunark they can probably beat just about any class if the guy has low MR, though. Pretty easy to get decent resists on a dwarf cleric, too.

Lethdar is right.

Clerics are very powerful in pvp.

Clerics get plate armor, have root, blind, two lines of stun, the best heals in the game, huge hp buffs, Magic resist which is great to resisst spells like root or snare.

For pve they have awesome undead nukes and can solo good in undead spots much like a paladin.

They are the number one wanted class in any group pvp or pve followed by maybe a bard.



Downside is they cant solo well in pvp because they have trouble putting out significant damage. But its not really a downside because you are going to have instant friends if your not a douchebag.

I had a friend who was a 55 cleric and we pvped a bunch together. He could beat almost anyone 1v1 because of his resist buffs/gear and the fact that he could run other casters oom damaging him as he just out healed it and then melee/nuked them to death and stunned/sheild bashed if they tried to heal or run or gate.

1v1 most classes will not even bother with you because it usually will be a long fight. Either you will be able to run or they will.

In group pvp people will want to kill you. Gameplay would be avoiding casters by line of sight, running from melee, healing/buffing allies and then throwing assist spells like root or stun out.

That sounds horrible. Bleh.

Would it even be worth rolling a Cleric on PvP? Are there no benefits..?

Clerics are really valuable in PvP. They function as tanks a lot of the time, and can effectively crowd control a number of players by wasting their time hitting the cleric while getting killed themselves. A well-geared cleric is pretty durable, especially when you consider DA/DB. They struggle in really big battles where ten dudes will just pile on the cleric and people die so fast you can't get a heal off, and they struggle in 1v1. Anything in-between is great for a cleric, and it's one of the best classes to have in 2v2/3v3ish PvP. They're even pretty good all-around early on in a server's lifespan, because cleric nukes are okay when people have terrible resists, and then roots and stuns as well as amazing PvP buffs. Once it becomes easy to get 100+ MR, a cleric's offensive capabilities plummet and they become purely support.
