Because clerics actually have a use when killing raid mobs.

Mages don't. Their greatest value is in a quad DA train up / out / away.

Based on your comments I assume that you have never raided. Clerics are absolutely critical for Complete Heal chains and the more of them you can get in that chain the better. You're never pulling a Cleric out of that for this.

I'm starting to consider the possibility that this dude might just be trolling at a ungodly high level and only pretending to be retarded.

you fuckin... better not be.

Unfortunately for mages they're great 1-50, and start to suck worse and worse til epic (an impossibility for most).

And once you get your epic there isn't anything you can do thats on the level of an enchanter, necro, shaman, bard...or even twinked monks / pallies / SKs. You can AFK farm shit tier mobs. Congrats.

Once you realize you're just a coth bot because you're unwilling to put the time in to learn the raid meta tactics, you're hosed. Better off logging on a cleric bot and licking walls in a CH chain while you acquire DKP to gear a char thats actually fun to play.

I have not been in a raid on p99 no, but I have seen play by plays and it doesnt appeal to me in the least, no matter what class I play.

Thanks for mentioning one of the reasons why the raid scene on p99 is cancer.

I mean, that's a bit like watching a soccer game on TV and deciding "it must not be fun to play soccer". Or imagine if all you did was watch someone solo or group an ordinary XP camp, and then decided "this EQ game looks dumb, it must not be any fun to play".

Yeah fair enough. But yeah in the classic era meta Clerics are one of the most important...I mean, main healers will always be super important, but when it's all tank and spank with huge health pools for the raid mobs the whole survival strategy is Clerics casting Complete Heal in a nonstop chain. So the more you have in there the better.

So you'd rather have the Mage DA quadding than a Cleric.
