I. Background/Summary/Questions and Answers

The Story

The Cleric was known as dwaynas left hand. They were known to be Monk's understuddies and were looked down upon, but soon became more popular in their religion and studes. Soon their proffession swept upon Tyria unlike any other class. But then...Orr was destroyed and that was the end of the Cleric's. Arah was destroyed and Dwayna swore she would never study the Clerics ways ever again. It was the end of the end for Clerics. But one day the Cleric's ways were revived. Menzie, Balthazaars brother soon studied it and it became the the hatest form of magic. The war between Menzie and Balthaazar was waged and Dwayna knew herself the only way Balthaazar could have a chance was to ressurect the Cleric's. And so she did and now there is an equal balance.

About the...Clerics

The Clerics were brought by Dwayna and studdied by all. Known to be the balance on the battle field, the Cleric's were the support. Cleric's are known for their protection and stimulation of ones' magic or physical ability. Cleric's have the strength to stay in the middle of the battle field to aid their allies. They were once thought to be monk clones but then found out knew abilities of protecting.

Questions and Answers

Q. How are Cleric's different from monks?
A. Unlike monks Clerics have Higher armor yet lower energy so they can stay in the middle of the battle to support everyone. If they see their foes have the advantage the will weaken their foes. If they see their allies have the disadvantage they will stimulate their abilities. They are unlike any casters.

Q. Will Cleric's bring in any new types of skills?
A. Yes! They use Aura's to have Nearby allies affacted by spells. With Aura's you have to cast it on yourself but wherever you move with Aura's your spell moves with you.

Q. How will Aura's be different from Shouts or Wards?
A. With shouts you cast them and they go away after a while. Unlike wards you can move them around with you. And unlike enchantments the affectivness is Nearby.

Q. Will the Cleric be at all offensive?
A. Yes they will. They use offensive Aura's for the same kind of Nearby affect but just with negative sidafects.

Sounds really overpowered, especially regeneration attribute's affect, as well as the elite deflective siphon

D2 Paladin gogogo.

Quote:

WHAT?

A caster's normal energy pips are 4, and with a normal maximum energy of 30.

A character normally does not have any innate health regeneration. Sounds quite the farmer to me.

Anyway...D2 Paladin gogogo.

i do gotta change some stuff, im making their energy high but gonna make their armor low.

Coloneh · Feb 26, 2007, 05:57 AM // 05:57

the regeneration attribute sounds horribly useless

Brandon1107 · Feb 26, 2007, 08:58 PM // 20:58

changed primary, that skill, and the armor, please tell me if you have any other comments or concerns.

System_Crush · Feb 26, 2007, 09:55 PM // 21:55

A cherlic should not have 55 armor, they are traditionally sort of battle monks, your picture also shows that he is wearing a mail armor under that robe.

Still the question remains where is the 4 health regen from, why do they get that, is there something really really special about their armor that it always gives a heath regen bonus?
If so which armor pieces and what magic makes them do such?

I think they should be more armored than other casters, and as regen is dependent on armor, 60 = 4 pips 70-75 = 3 pips 80 = 2 pips, make them work for that energy.
Lower energy regen would not be that bad for them the current primary you have looks like a very powerfull energy supplier it would definatly be unbalancing when coupled with 4 pips of energy regen.
The curernt energy is if I get it correctly, each time you cast an aura on yourself(thus you have to lose energy to gain energy) you gain <atribute level> + < Number of auras already up >
An average of 10-14 energy, minus the cost of the aura that was cast to gain this energy.
With the cost you currently have for your aura skills it would reduce or cover the cost, so rather than a good energy regainer it prevents the loss of energy when you use a aura, which is more balanced and less expoitable.
5 energy auras would gain you energy which is ok as long as these auras have limited effects and are definatly not spamable.

The new primary is definatly a improvement, still a primmary is suposed to have a use to 1 or more secondairy professions too, this becasue it is usefull for multy classing.
Energy is usefull for everybody, however it requerung the use of an aura sort of locks it to the profession.
Sort of a 2 sided case, I can't make up my mind...

Don't like the naming
(although adding prayers after a word to turn it into a atribute name is getting popular)
Prayers are kind of monk terf, I think a cherlic should have 1 maybe 2 atributes with the word blessings in it, and take the other atribute names from somewhere else, prayers make everything sound like a monk attribute.

And finally do you know D20 cherlics?
In the D20 system Cherlics can become a cherlic to either an evil or a good god.
Asside from that guy spamming, I'm not sure how many people think we have enough dogooder classes in GW , But I for one like classes that have allignment freedom, that can chose to go either for good or for evil.

Quote:

If they see their foes have the advantage the will weaken their foes. If they see their allies have the disadvantage they will stimulate their abilities.

You already have kind of split functions, could I perhaps persuade you to place them in a good cherlic and a evil cherlic context?

Brandon1107 · Feb 27, 2007, 03:34 AM // 03:34

well im not gonna make good or evil cause that would be REALLY complicated...gonna have to change primary again, but i am not changing the armor they are like Battlemages but their auras really do boost their protection, it makes it more of a "challenge."

I am thinking of haing Clerics have armor that increases the health pip but lowers energy.

also I have no idea what D20 Chleric...whatever you mentioned

Cleric? Not like monk? this is freakin D&D! Even the picture is from a D&D website.Some of the spells are from D&D! This class has no freakin point!!!!

If this really was D&D he should have know what D20 is as that is like the rules to current D&D.
And at that I've never really focused on the cherlic part myself, but I'm pretty sure none of these skills are copies of cherlic skills in their name, though the ends might be similar the mechanics in GW make the skills hard to just copy, also D&D spells are balanced far better than what he has written down.

I do admit I was trying to spoon in D&D sugestting there be a good atribute and a evil attribute.

*Pulls out the books*
As the D20 system has many many domains for cherlics making them much more interesting and diverce than what he has put up here(as well as more diverce and interesting than the classes already in GW), but certainly not a copy.

Brandon1107 · Mar 04, 2007, 03:30 PM // 15:30

What Is D&d????

Darkhell153 · Mar 08, 2007, 12:08 AM // 00:08

true, but honestly, this really has a lot of Dungeons and Dragons mixed in with a hint of guild wars added in. All in all this is a particularily useless class to say the least. Regeneration is pretty pathetic, this class looks like a derv/monk hybrid with a bit of necromancer spells in it. And sadly it doesn't really add anything to the game. You could just put together a derv/necro build and suddenly you get something very very similair to this class.

not to be rude but this profession really doesn't have any point to it.

0 points for originality, some of the skills you made seem like their general effects could be cool to have in some kind of profession, but not this one - it's messy and uninspired.
