I 2nd that... they really need a "Do you know what your class does?" test, and a quest that makes them learn about healing party members...

(Similarily.. a kick/mock test for new fighters; a "how to stay far away and kill" test for mage/archers)

when i had first heard about job changes i thought they would be different for different classes... like fighters had to do.. like what they do in 60 job change
clerics had to heal a party taking dmg and if they died to many times you fail
if you a mage or an archer idk... XD

That reminds me of a Mara Kingdom Quest that I did yesterday. Except rather than the Clerics failing, it was a couple of the Fighters and... no... wait... it was pretty much everyone except myself and a couple others. Some nub pulled Mara and it killed off a good portion of us (myself included) but it did not get really bad until near the end. Someone pulled a fake Marlone so we tried to move it to the other side but a Fighter decided he would try and fight it.

He called us Clerics lame because we would not heal his sorry butt. I just laughed at him. We lost a Cleric who was dumb enough to go after the fake Marlone too. That was funny. In the end, we succeeded but with heavy causalities. I feel sorry for a couple of people that ended up getting booted from the Kingdom Quest from dying a lot. Such is life I suppose but I completely agree with that test thing. It would be nice to see 99% of the players in the game get kicked because they fail so hard. xD

LOL. Reminds me of that chat we had in MD:

Me: We should really have a test for people like these before they join KQs. They should be kicked out if they fail it. For clerics it'd be like this:

Your party is dying! What do you do?

A) Afk
B) Heal them
C) Tank the boss and forget about your party
D) Be an archer/mage and lure everything, later blaming the fighters for not taking aggro.

IF YOU PICKED A, C, OR D, YOU FAIL! CONGRADULATIONS!

LOL yeah!!! It made the stupid MD so much more interesting LOL!!!!

Haha this is funny. Healing is a tough job, and most people play clerics to heal themselves as of late, instead of the party. It's a balance, and there should be some sort of walk through to help clueless players make he best of their clerics. Each player I did Mara with, I made my own pots and had stones, so I ran through there like nobody's business. Give an alt some potion/scroll skills and life will be much easier from 10~30.

OT: but that's one giant signature

I guess what Cleric's need most is common-sense.

When to attack, when to sit-back and heal. Prioritize who's going to get hammered and know when to use which skill. Doesn't take much else.
