Nerf cleric BAB to save headaches in parties / raids ?

[jmonty]

hmm. so i guess by the op's line of thought clerics don't need heavy, or any armor proficiency. shields? lol! clerics should be safe in the rear, amiright? and simple weapons are clearly wasted. how about duel wielding a stack of scrolls and wands? or maybe a feat that allows the throwing of pots while wand whipping?

I have no objection to Battle Clerics per se, but I do think that if there is a cleric in the group they should be doing some healing.

I can't tell you how irksome it is to join a pug with 2 clerics and be told to "bring my own healing". I told them "fine, bring your own firewall and haste". Didn't last long in that group.

Now, those potions we are throwing... they are filled with caustic acids and explosives, right?

I am now dumber for reading this thread.

I don't have any objections to tossing out a heal or two while running my Battle Cleric, but I feel that if anyone I just healed keeps taking damage then they should be doing some self-healing and/or should kill things fast enough to get through the quest before my mana starts running low.

too funny
I can hear this conversation already...
BC "how bout a haste"
Sorc "FYI they sell haste pots at the same vendor as CSW. I got mine you got yours?"

I can see the LFMs now..."bring your own haste" rofl

you play your characters the way you want and let others do the same I say this is now the worst idea I have ever seen on the fourms.

don't know about you but I always carry haste potions along with a dozen or so haste clickies on my battlecleric.

but yes. if a battlecleric expects to get haste/blur/greater heroism from a sorc, it should only be the case if he uses the equivalent of sp to send some spells and/or buffs (deathward/prot from evil/freedom of movement) in the sorc's direction.
