Are clerics desired at most/all levels?

Shaman and Cleric are both always desired at all levels.

I've played both til about 40, and I much prefer playing my Cleric.

In groups as a Shaman, people just expect too goddamn much out of your mana bar. They'll want multiple stat buffs, SoW, regen/talismans constantly applied WHILE you also heal and debuff mobs. It's ridiculous all the stuff you have to do to "fill your role".

with a Cleric, you're mostly meditating and preserving your mana to pull off huge heals and periodically save your group from dire situations. You're not investing a huge amount of concentration, but you're critical to the group and everyone knows it.

Cleric all the way
