Title: Clerics & Shield mastery
Post by: khiren on May 19, 2025, 01:16:51 pm
Given that most clerics are underdeveloped and lack access to high-tier empowerment and skills, granting them Shield Mastery might not be a bad idea to improve their survivability and endurance.

That would be too much, imho. Shield bash is offensive, while shield mastery is defensive.

Being the only class with sanc anymore.  Deflecting spells may be better than a offense skill. Like having sanc and spellbane

That was the idea: to make them more durable. :)

I'm all for anything to help clerics . Things have changed unfortunately with smaller players base. Support classes don't have as many people yo support .

What's gone wrong with clerics' survivability? I remember kicking a lich's ass as a solo clanless cleric of Mishakal.

More thinking in killing harder mobs solo.
