Well... thats not entirely true. I've seen Clerics take care of an entire group of people before. Its kinda difficult but still completely possible. The only time a Cleric has to focus on the main tank is when you're fighting the bosses. And until then the Cleric needs to be healing others to the best of his/her ability.

If you get too close to the AoE then thats your fault IF you're a Mage, Cleric, or an Archer. But as a Fighter you're pretty much expected to be up there kicking that creature's ass. I think being healed or at least revived isn't too much to ask for.

Besides, there's bound to be more than just one Cleric in each KQ so i'm sure one of them can take some time out to heal/revive a person really quickly. And everyone is just as important as the main tanker. Yes, without the main tanker there's a good chance the KQ will fail but without the others that boss isn't going to die any time soon.

I have to differ in opinion with you on that one. With the rate at which people scurry around in a lot of the the KQ's it is next to inpossible to click on each person to status their HP level. I can keep track of my party because I have their picture on my screen.

IF I am the only cleric, then I will try to check other ppl, but that is not easy and everyone simply will not be checked on. Once we get to the K & Q or Mara & Marlone (haven't tried other KQ's yet), then I will focus my energy on the main tank whether they are in my party or not, but if I start taking hits from mobs and no one pulls them off me then we will lose the tank. Here's where I get real ticked, because then everyone wants to blame the cleric who didn't keep the tank healed! EXCUSE ME???? Where the heck were they while I was getting my behind slaughtered by mobs? They were busy trying to KS the Boss for their own quest completion.

And as I stated in a different thread on this same subject; I have tried running KQ’s doing nothing but pure heal and got to the end for an empty chest reward and not all my quest components complete. What was my benefit in running that KQ? I used tons of SP and get nothing while others are patting each other on the back for getting +5 or +6 weapons, lucky elrues and jewelry.

IMHO, if it was intended that the Clerics one and ONLY job was to keep all the STUPID people (who show up for a KQ with no buffs, potions or stones) alive then there would be a reward at the end of the KQ for the cleric. I tried it twice with the same end result.

I’m sorry, I am in this game to better my character also and to that end when I am down by a ratman and a warrior boar, you can bet your sweet cheeks I will be wailing on a ratman or warrior boar and if opportunity permits I will heal the fool who showed up with no stones or potions, but priority one is MY quest status, thank you very much!

Now, if all other classes don't like clerics having to take care of mobs while in KQ's then petition the GM's to change the reward system and make it worth a cleric running KQ's doing nothing but heal.

UNTIL THEN TRY CARRYING BUFFS, POTIONS AND STONES WITH YOU!!
