Shaman vs. Cleric

[RDawg816]

I was commenting on the post above mine about how casters can play without gear to some extent. /shrug

This is pretty typical cleric play, but the class itself is quite powerful and flexible. Stuns to prevent casters from nuking/healing or help enchanters recharm. Root is solid CC quite frequently. Memblur is always useful - when was the last time you saw a cleric memblur a mezzed mob and save a Divine Light on the enchanter? Never? Me too. Calm is actually quite reasonable for splitting, especially if you are a High Elf and/or carry a charisma set, or you can pull off all sorts of crazy shit with rezboxes.

So I think this thread has somewhat overstated the flexibility of a shaman vs a cleric. As a leveling/farming cleric, your goal is to suck up to every Enchanter you meet until you have 10-15 on speed dial. Then you have either a solid duo, or you can add a melee (pretty much any will do), or go for a full group.

Note: I will never roll a cleric, because then I would never get to bring anything else to raids [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
