Are clerics desired at most/all levels?

Assuming we ever see Velious, clerics will be, hands down, the make or break class for almost every raid target in the entire expansion.

Clerics are THE factor for Velious. In kunark, they are nice, but not necessarily needed for their healing. You can kill VP mobs without a cleric if you tried hard enough (its been done by IB).. 32k hp is 32k hp. Come velious, complete healing is a must.

A group full of druids because the other groups wouldn't invite them? A comparison of the demand for druids vs clerics is pretty funny. Druids can act like weak wizards? Wizards aren't getting invited either.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Settled on Cleric for grouping purposes and still fits the bill of a holy warrior type battling undead (and any other scourges to Norrath). [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Cheers!

Clerics are simply fantastic, and also one of the most poorly played classes. I think most people who pick cleric do so because they know it's a shortcut to joining a high-end guild. Every guild wants clerics, and raiding on a cleric is pretty straightforward: cast buffs, cast ch, count to 5, cast ch again, rez after a wipe, etc.

But in small groups the cleric spellbook has so much more: DA, dispells, stuns, blurs, calms, roots, etc and most people never use any of it; they picked cleric because they just want to sit there semi AFK. I mean so few clerics even do basic things like stunning the enchanter's charmed pet when it breaks. I guarantee with that one simple habit your friends list will fill up with Enchanters and you'll duo/trio your way to 60 in record time - and make some good bank along the way.

I have been in Unrest groups with multiple clerics; each one had their role and each one contributed. Yes, Befallen/Unrest/Mistmoore will be the exception rather than the rule, but it's already been mentioned that clerics can do more than just rez and heal.

If MarcusD has seen parties turn down a second cleric, I can only imagine the kind of pick-up groups he's been joining.

I'm looking to move to P99 for my mmo "needs", as Everquest Live has moved on to something that I barely recognize, and grouping seems almost non-existent due to mercs and boxing.

I must be a Dwarf (don't ask, it's a thing with me ever since I started with AD&D), and I played a paladin in EQLive. I have fond memories of him but I also remember how hard it could be when going solo so I'm hoping a cleric might not be as bad, and more in demand for grouping.

Would anyone have any advice for me between the two? Thank you in advance.

everybody loves a cleric

No smart person ever fills a group with druids. As a druid in higher levels you will be lucky to get a group. Also with someone of your reputation and class you will more then likely never get a group higher level.
