Well Clerics Its True...

[Osiris]

well i thought of a AOE concept or something about clerics. Cleric's all about healieg, reviving deads and all so quite a priest in other words. so i thought that maybe they could have an AOE that deals little damages but put a little handicap on the ennemy like a burst of holy light that temporarily blinds the ennemy. Of course they run to you but then they would be handicapped in chances to hit or in chances to evade. Of course the highlight of this (High light XD) is the blinding thing the damage is just a tiny bonus to this. Of course cleric would like to have an AOE and i'm faily sure mages would want to heal themselves if they could (only they know it would be ridiculous). In some games priests/clerics/paladins whatever, have an offensive spell which is called holy. Something we seem to forget sometimes would be that of the elements mages use and i mean fire,ice,lightning, magic blah blah blah. Maybe shadow and light could get in. Shadow spell is like Fear and such but i doubt a mage could get holy or ''light'' spells and that would be cleric. I'm sure that's the thing most clerics are looking for. Maybe not an AOE like frost nova or a massive poison attack like those archers use but maybe just a little distance spell like magic blast for example. Maybe you think i'm speaking nonsense but you can disagree with my point but for god's sake, respect it...

That makes a lot of sense actually. On that note it seems like the likely decision would be to do something along those lines. Because like you said in other games usually the 'healer' of the group would have some kind of status effect skill or something along those lines. So that sounds pretty good to me. I'd hope it was like the poison skill still though where instead it blinds them or something instead of healing them. So they just have decreased aim.

oh that was just a suggestion, i can elaborate more anytime

I remember seeing a screenshot of an AOE cleric attack. Purple pillars or something shot out of the ground....It looked EPIC

Maybe you should send that suggestion to one of the programmers and explain it like that because seems like thats something you could argue and possibly get in to game for the next cap.

my idea was that good?

[Osiris]

I think its a good idea. 'Holy' might not be the name of it. But seems like if they were going to add some sort of attack, a cleric should obtain some kind of attack that adds a status effect. And that seems like the most likely one considering the type of character a cleric is.
