Why is cleric a required character?
Cleric is way better than the other healers. They have amazing buffs and really fast cast hots here. And then in addition to that the get a CH but it’s basically an instant cast and then after 3 tics the ch goes off, synergizes so well with any melee build.

the rest of the healers get trash and nothing new. Just same old slow cast superior heals for 10% of your life if you can even get the cast off.

hopefully they bring other dru/shm/pal up to par but the need a lot of love to hold a candle to cleric.

Interesting they would buff cleric heals and no one else (so far?)
Druid and shaman did get new dots and nukes for DPs builds.
I’m still leaning War -> Druid/enc for leveling though; buffs, regen, thorns, haste, charming a buddy. Cleric shouldn’t be necessary until tier 4 raiding?

Wow, complete heal has always been an awkward spell by design. Changing it to be some kind of instant-cast delayed heal is crazy, especially if other healers aren't getting huge boosts then yeah, early EQ cleric is a no brainer.

I didn't play THJ until after PoP was out. Assuming THJ started with classic, did it have the full suite of AAs available from the start? I get that EQL in the current state is not nearly the same level of power fantasy as THJ. Was it like that from the start or did it slowly ramp up as expansions unlocked much better gear, spells, and AAs?

Tell us you don't have a beta key without telling us you don't have a beta key.

I didn't apply for a beta key brother. I don't wanna play this, i knew these systems were going to be shit as soon as found out who was in charge.

Weird take that you post this

Got to have an actual play session. Got to 28. Money is rolling in fast and furious. Got my Symphonic Aura and Mnemonic Retention done. Having 5 BRD buffs up at all times is baller. Autopulse doesn't affect invis.

And then pretend you understand the end game, because of first had experience you don't have.

It is lacking a lot of polish, but it is absofuckinglutely solo friendly. Any decent grind spot is going to have gear you can work on and use while leveling. Once you hit 50 you are going to be doing that for BIS while moving up the difficulty as you get geared out. It's a fairly smooth progression, and if you are going to be doing other aliases you can keep an eye out for gear for that to build as well.

Not being able to solo everything on day one doesn't mean a game isn't solo friendly.

Full retard take. I don't think the problem will be seen in leveling, i think leveling w/o twinking will be similar to THJ, i think a lot of people that found THJ fun or missed THJ will enjoy leveling up. It's the endgame and replayability that be awful in comparison. It's not lacking polish it's lacking systems that will function.
