    So the EQ death penalty becomes even more a thing of the past. I always felt the feath penalty, harsh as it was in the beginning, was a key feature that made old EQ great.

    I think this is excellent.

     

    I am tempted now to activate my druid.  I love to duo with druid.  I sometimes use a Shaman or Cleric, but I prefer Druid:  spells, ports, etc.

     

    The corpse still is there but the gear is not.  This is a great, and important, change.  Besides, at least in my view, since the ability to summon corpses, leaving items on a corpse is not even necessary.

    If i was still playing this game id be upset but since im not ill let this one slide. because i played a cleric on EQ back in 2000 and that was our thing rezing. then these fags paladins come along and get to rez too. EH BULLShytza. I was deeply upset when hell levels were removed for 30 35 40 45 because it happed when i finaly got my guy up to 46. Yeah i was a slow leveler didnt get much time to play i didnt have my own puter and had DIAL UP.  Eh just make everyone level 70 or 75 on character creation EQ devs this lowbie level up crap now is unnecassary. Or at least give a option level up to 70/ 75 no skills got work em up and be a sucky ass but we can actually play with people if you get my drift.

    The cleric was always a (1) heal bot and (2) res bot.

     

     

    The Clerics need "more" and things will work well.

    I'd like to add that having three characters on Firinoa Via is nice as well.

    impressive, impressive indeed

    What a joke. Why bother having a penalty at all anymore. ZERG tactics for the win!

    Heck,  this might make me reconsider resubbing.  Have a druid.

    And you whiners, get off your high horse.   The game was changed when you where able to summon your corpse and get a rezz.( cant recall what expansion added the guild halls).  This what changed the game alot, not this. All this does is make things  a bit easier but noy by leaps and bounds.

    But i do think they should give the cleric something for this. That i agree with.

    The Cleric is irrelevant in the realm of group with

    1. Shaman res,
    2. Druid res, and
    3. Merc res.

     

    The Cleric is not even a bot anymore; it is a useless bot. 

  • RakujiRakuji Member UncommonPosts: 144

    Last Time I played , the Cleric as the main healer. I had a 70 druid and I could only pop off 6-8K heals not Complete heals.

    Kick to the Face.
