No it really isn’t. I have solo main healed standard easy xp groups on my bard (low-tier difficulty BS like Karnors). I have also main healed similar and harder groups on my necromancer.

Necromancer and bard together (assuming they don’t suck) is overkill healing for most all group content save the toughest 5-10% … without breaking a sweat.

With a good instrument a bard can give everyone over 50hp a tick continuous health regeneration (Nivs + hymn of restoration or 55 cantana). Toss in necro heal over times and it’s easy street.

Perhaps you just suck?

Mob dps really isn’t bad in places like the Hole or KC. It’s not hard to heal. For places like DN rats, Sirens grotto and deepest/darkest corners of Seb or Chardok you will some sort of dedicated healer with blast heal potential.

When I grouped with my bard I put clerics to sleep. They didn’t have anything to do.

Your pace is weak or your mobs are weak for your level, probably both.

Cleric heals are overdoing it when it comes to a lot of content thanks to slows and twinks in Velious gear. For harder content, yeah, but that's not what this thread has become about.

where clerics shine is efficiency and they got that beat all the way to 60 ahead of everyone else with the right spells and buffs

There have been groups where, with everything rooted/slowed, the cleric managed to keep everyone at or near full health just with Mark of Karn, clicky pants, and blackstar procs. And that was with a constant flow of incoming mobs. They are spoiled for choice when it comes to heals, sky neck and trak bp included, not to mention stuns.
