Why can't clerics taunt or AOE? Can they only heal, buff and revive?

[hkiman47]

Im just wondering why only clerics cant use AOE and taunt. Have you ever thought of pulling one mob instead of going to it and start getting hit by all mobs surrounding it.. O.o *just wondering* or even when mobs hit you, you can use and AOE or a skill that will let you hit all mobs surrounding you. I just thought of that :P *just wondering* `no offense XD` >regardless of clerics' power to heal<

Well *hopefully* we'll get an AOE in the 9x's. It wont be too powerful and wont have a really short c/d.

I see what you mean about the taunt however, soloing quests that involve one monster but is tucked away with others is a real pain.

No one, other than the GM's, can really answer it though =/

Nuuu..

Clerics really do need an AOE.

Have you tried soloing quests?! Its tedious. Milling through them 1 by 1.

We DO need one, even if it is just weak. It wouldn't help in PvP, and would make us more appealing to parties. Win/Win scenario!

OFC there's arguments to both sides. But I've played ALL the classes, and that's just my opnion. :D

We don't need an AOE. But we will still get one eventually.

Guys (and grrls) we are clerics. We can party with anyone and get all the AOE's we want. But if we choose to solo, then great. But there's going to be a catch. And lack of aoe is just that. Sure, we can be there hitting one mob for yonks trying to kill the damn thing... but thats the trade off of being completely self-sufficiant.

The day we Clerics get taunt will be the day Fighters get Heal, Restore, Rejuvenate, Recover, and the shiny flashly 85 heal.. I forgot name lol.
As for AoE, we get an AoE attack at lv91 which is INT based damage. But it does inflict str down debuff though.

Not really sure they'd be able to solo aoe just like mages archers and fighters already can

._. idk about taunt but a aoe would be nice even if it is weak...but a STR debuff is usefull =D...demo hit + cleric aoe (dunno the name lmao) = happier tank =DD

The AOE wont be of sufficient damage or c/d to be able to solo aswell as you guys do.
It more or less will reduce what we would spend killing 7 monsters, instead of 10.

And anyway, even if we can, at level 9x, party will be a MUCH quicker way of lvling instead of soloing.
