Good point.  In terms of where you stand, that has implications on how you share your aura.  I think jumping and moving are good for both aura sharing and survivability.  I always,mfrom the get-go, made sure I was always hasted in elob, e.g.  There's always time, if you can't pawn a haste or out of shroud or etimesensing clickies, to guzzle a haste pot.  Move, jump, move.

Still playing the "Poor woman" card Nancy?

Everytime you're called out, you always pull that old chestnut.

STOP sending tells while people are still alive trying to deflect blame you silly goose!

And beyond, Hordo.  And beyond.  And you love it.  A little spunk is fun.

This has been pretty helpful, even if to mostly confirm that my understanding and practice has been on target.

The specifics to certain raids and quests have been most helpful, and if I can get more if that I'd take it. What strategies/cycles work best where?

ETA: If you run with my healer, please feel free to give me feedback/advice. Just not in the middle of a fight, because then I will tell you to STFU.

Heal with scrolls and use DP/destruction/implosion to burn your mana whenever possible.

Maximize your turning potential then solo epic wiz kings. People still pay lots for sands scrolls.

When healing with another cleric/fvs in a raid try to position yourself near them so that you can watch for their mass heal animation and try to stagger your heals.

When healing a group fighting a boss target the person with the highest HP. If the person you have targeted to heal drops the mass heal will hit you instead of the group.

Carry diamonds and use death pact.

When in HoX make sure the group leader is going to use the patrol method.

This is not a HEY NANCY thread, so please calm the fuck down.  The idea of this thread is not to tell you or anyone else who is wrong or to insult people or put anyone on the defensive.  You may not agree with the advice others have given here, but you know what?  Maybe what you do isn't what other clerics do.  Maybe you aren't the only cleric out there.  And maybe, just maybe you think you are a lot better a cleric than you are so you get defensive when you get called on it.  Kindly shut the fuck up and let others help/debate strategies and quit trying to take over the thread.  We are all quite aware of your existence.

Here I am darling 

Btw, when you put it out there that you're an uber player, it's not a good idea to go dying in a Wiz king farm on a Sorc and have some poor Paladin (Me) solo the tower and carry your stone to the shrine.

Kick away

My best advice on playing a cleric is to TR into a FvS as soon as possible.

One thing I have been learning on my cleric is how to better assess the developing party and bail if necessary. I just escaped what is probably going to be a fail VoD when I realized there was no adequate CC, no threat tank, and two players with sub-300 hp. holy moly.

See, on another toon I'd probably run it anyway, for the lolz. But on my healer? Hell no.

In part one there is no reason you can't clear if the casters are lazy/bad at it. Between BB/implosion/cometfall you should be able to quickly destroy the groups of mobs at a portal. If your DC's for implosion/destruction aren't good enough run ahead to the next portal and put up a symbol of death. If the casters are doing well then run one portal ahead and try to get a full stack of DP's on the portal. If you need to heal in this part get a new group use bursts.

In part 2 your role varies depending on if your group decides to go NE divided or all S then split. If NE then pick a boss and DP them. (Orthon goes down really fast). Spot heal as needed (really shouldn't be much healing required). If all S then damage whatever until they're all down to about 10% or so. At that point try to get a DP on each on so when the group splits they go down easier (start with the slower moving).

In part 3 make sure you have death pact on. Be good at the puzzles (specially the 5x5's). Clerics are one of the only classes who can survive the wall (if you have DI). Of course if it makes it to the wall then find a new group enjoy looking like the best cleric evah!

In part 4 make sure you have implosion. Use implosion to kill all the devils no matter how much people whine because they wanted to save one    When Harry comes out to play target the melee with the highest HP, try to stand close to the other cleric solo heal, and start out just a couple paces back from the party on Harry. Once the first wave of the blades passes you should be able to step back through the gap to avoid being sliced as you heal. You should be able to keep the party up with mass heals. If you have to you can toss a mass crit to keep those with < 300 HP up if you're feeling nice. Personally I like to stack DP on Harry in-between my mass hjeals. If anyone died in this part and you have scrolls of raise dead you can raise 2 people without any trouble.

In part 5 buff your party then stack DP on the boss of your choice. Once the fight with Harry starts stand near the other healer and mass heal/dp with mass crits when needed.

(Is this the type of breakdown you're looking for?)
