Class defining epic

We'll agree to disagree.

Nope nope nope.

I understand you could cleric Rez some clerics then some mana batteries. But EVERY wipe, if you have a raid force of 50 players, Rezzing all of them costs 50*700*0.9=31500 Mana. Without buffs that's 1575 Med ticks. Over 2.5 hours of medding. That can be split by multiple clerics on the raid, and that can be accelerated with enchanters, bards and Necromancers. But that is still a huge amount of unnecessary downtime. Cleric epics give you more attempts per night and more clears completed instead of being called halfway through because they get people up faster with no mana burned.

Bard epic is good. It's addition to singing equates to 56 extra resist for an entire group. That's like adding a Tranix Crown, Earring of Essence, and 2 Jacinth Rings worth of resists to everyone in the group. Just because of that bard epic.

So it will save you mana in-fights from healing and increase DPS because people live longer.

Also some people mentioned it earlier - No bard mana songs are modifiable. The cantata modifies the HP given, the mana however cannot be increased. If it's bugged on this server and is getting modified, I will endeavor to Nerf this with all my power, because that is not classic.

But in the long run, a cleric epic will save more time and end up getting you more loot.

If only one class epic were allowed to resist. From a raider and grouper standpoint, cleric epic would be winner hands down.
