Clerics are now Hjealbots

The devs have made their intentions clear that clerics should be healbots

New lamma land ability gives -50% to non healing spell power and -1[W] damage

Edit:
This post was not intended to be about the specifics of the ability, but rather the implications, i.e. pigeonholing clerics into hjealbots.
You should go onto lamma and check out all of the improvements to the other classes, they're really cool.

You should be more specific in the lamannia forums rather than trying to incite general panic and knee jerk hysteria in the regular forums.

Well glad to ready CLR are now just healbots based off some vague post on some vague ability with no name or information.

It's true. Healing Domain, called Pacifism, looks like an auto-grant toggle.

1 domain, and a toggle? Not convinced.

EDIT:
Unless this domain is the only healing specced one? Meh, at least the caster divines won't get confused with a healer from now on.

This topic should be a good read

I'm very curious to know how +/- % changes to spell power are handled. For instance, if I have a -50% spell power effect on when I have Spell Power 40, do I end up with Spell Power 20 or do I end up with Spell Power -10? Does it hit all sources of Spell Power (gear, enhancements, metamagic) or just some? Enquiring minds want to know!

Anyone know how this is handled? And how multiple +/- Spell Power % changes stack with each other?

[redspecter23]

So if I understand this correctly, if I choose the healing domain and toggle on a stance based on that one domain I get enhanced heals and reduced other spells? Sounds more like an option than a mandatory change to me.

[Qezuzu]

Do you really think someone would do that?

Just go on the Internet and tell lies?

[My2Cents]

To any devs reading this and related messages.

We know very well this is the very first pass.

Most of us players understand the parameters, will reply in the right place, and hope you will ignore the few who would ruin your openness and communication for the rest of us.

Yup, its right out of 4e. The pacific cleric path gets you bonuses to healing but actually stuns you if you try to swing/cast at an enemy that is <50% HP. Should be a great addition to the game.

I strongly disagree. It will be a crappy addition to the game.

The pigeonholing of classes is never a good thing.

and 4e and "great" are two words that should not be included in the same paragraph unless its "4e is horrible. Its great that WoTC is getting rid of 4e." or something of a similar nature.

As if they they're not already reduced to that role as it stands now.

If one does not want to 'pigeonholed' into healing, maybe don't take the Healing Domain?

Crazy talk I know....

indeed, my cleric will not be utilizing this domain.

I also won't be taking that domain.

...I will probably be telling raid groups that I have taken it, however. Because I expect that most raids will be demanding "Hjeal domain Cleric/FvS" in the LFM.

I haven't had time to check, but maybe there is still time to voice our concern... well maybe they will listen, this time... maybe... ( yes I know I desesperately optimistic, but still maybe.... and I haven't checked yet Applying 800/3587 )
