I don't know if it balanced out Clerics and FvS completely, but it sure as hell does a good job of closing the gap quite a bit.

Extra increase from empower healing is nice.

The aura lasts longer than 2 minutes when quicken is on, which is more time than needed to regen a turn. Meaning you can constantly be regening 30-40 hp every 2-3 seconds, and regening the same amount for anyone standing close to you. I tested the range and it seems it's a bit bigger than a mass buff's range. And NO Sp cost. Also, it can crit.

The burst heals a decent amount with metamagic on and potency. It's not a mass heal, but it might be about as good as a good cure critical. I forgot to test if you can cast it on other targets, but for now I know it will work great for topping up between battles and would work for quick heals when SP is getting low, since there's no SP cost. Also crits.

It's definitely a nice addition for clerics. Extra healing or no SP costs, extra healing from all heal spells with empower healing turned on, and not too much of a cost in AP. It forced me to drop a few things (I dropped efficient metamagic: Empower healing 3 and the last tiers of prayer of incredible life and prayer of life).

Really makes me glad I didn't go ahead with reincarnating into a FVS like I planned.

We've already been fawning over the Prestige enhancement in the Cleric forum, here: http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=252357

I personally see even just the Tier 1 enhancement as being of massive benefit to a melee orientated Cleric, and will be fitting it in to Mordekaine.

I know, I posted there too. Just thought I'd bring the discussion up here, where I figured a lot of people might have tried it out.

It's even better for melee orientated clerics, of course. My cleric is a healbot with a secondary focus on CC/offensive casting. But I still have around 400 hit points, and can stick close to the party. The range is pretty decent on the aura so I wont be getting pounded trying to stay right on top of everyone.

It's really all around a great PrE, and much needed to close the gap between clerics and FvS.
