Meleeing clerics

2 words to settle the meleeing cleric debate:

1) Solo
2) OOM

Enough said!

Why the warrior gave this to me at level 7 and he didn't want it. It was nice to about my current level, but now it goes into the museuem as I retreat from melee and take my rightful place upon the hill of healers and medders.....yuck.

I really like a little smack now and then.

Vox is an easy kill because she weilds this one, its the only logical conclusion...

Ok, went on the umteenth dragon raid last night, and after more raids then i have fingers and toes and never getting anything i was happy to get this. Untill i tried using it, now because of the readiness of 1hb and good shields most clerics find that 2hb is a joke, now for looks i started out using a 2hb hatrack (growning mace) but that stoped in my 20s and i never went back to it (skill at 83). Now is this worth taking off the 100s in saves or 20wis and god knows what other stats on my shield/1hb? No way in hell. This item is a souvineer at best, even if you use 2hb as a cleric, by the time you get to one of these vox raids you will probally have better. Everyone feeback sony ingame and let them know they need to unnerf the lady vox drops.

If you play a Cleric as your main as I do, you need to kill greenies sometimes or help out...
I like to melee every so often to get my 1hb & 2hb up lvls when I can. (never, when Im in a fast paced grp that needs Cleric abilities) but, we still need to melee at times. and how would I do any quests if I couldnt melee at all.

With this weapon which I just got tonight off Vox would be great for farming and finishing off a dark Blue MoB that I may be soloing (yes Soloing)

I use snare items and root effect items to solo MoBs and without a good high damage melee weapon with my skill up, I would not be able to take down the HGs or SGs by myself...
I used to use all my mana on 1 HG, now I can kill 2 before I med.

and I use items like this and previously the Water sprinkler of forgiven to hunt Mobs I need for quests and other items I need to make myself an awsome Cleric. I dont know one cleric who can help save a grp going down with no mana left by snaring and rooting... then atone if needed with the WSoF or finish off the snared or rooted MoB with this weapon can come in handy if you know how to set up your hotkeys right for switching out items.

Just my 2 cents worth.

In the 53 levels that I have attained, the last 28 have been healing groups or a partner. If a cleric has the gear that makes them good enough to use this weapon in any situation then good luck to them and please post what gear you have so i can get some of it... As a cleric when im FM, I wil occasionally stand up and whack a mob,(applies the cleric DOT) but I always remember why Rodcet put me here, to keep the melee meleeing, and the casters casting so they can keep my thin blue line rising

Sometimes, clerics meleeing can be better than their other abilities. Primarily, they heal, although they also have pretty good AEs and nukes. Also, if they are grouped up with a necro/SK who is fear kiting mobs, especially undead mobs with an undead nuke proc weapon, they can do much more help that way and still slap in a Celestial Heal every now and then. The same thing can go with necros. A certain necro I know uses a knockback staff while fear kiting sometimes to move the mobs back on the fear path, so they don't walk quite as far (did this a lot in Scarlet Desert and The Grey.) As for this weapon, you could get a better ratio from some of the Velious weapons (but I can't remember if clerics can use some of them) like the Drakkel Icegrinder. It has a 30DD ice proc that procs at level 1 and is about 27 attack 45 delay.

You've got to be kidding LoL - No way A Cleric if has Full mana and is just sitting there STILL should not be in the frint lines EVER. First they should be using a blind spell to increase the miss rate of mobs - Second if still in need to use mana they should be stunning also to reduce hp loss - and Third if this still dosent use the mana then for crying out loud Nuke em . A cleric is NOT a Melee class and can spend thier time much better casting for effiecency. if you like meleeing try a monk. THIS WEAPON IS RETARDED. and isnt worth the material it was made from . imho

Yaulp raises your AC. It isn't always worth memming it. Clerics aren't always grouped, and even if they were, healing generates aggro. This means that you are likely to be attacked when you don't want to (i.e. at all). Therefore, a quick AC boost can help you, and you may need to melee while you're traveling, so the other benefits of yaulp are worthwhile. It is far from useless. Perhaps not worth 6k, as a nice wis item is generally more useful, but it is still worth a fair amount, IMHO. The only reason for the price is the difficulty in obtaining one.

take it from a 52 paladin casting yaulp raises you on the hate list, I don't care if you don't belive me I happen to know this for a fact many times I've been tradeing aggro with a warrior when I was trying not to get aggro, only meleeing and casting yaulp 2 and every time I cast the mobs turns on me right after I cast it...don't cast yaulp for the ac when yer aggroed, thats retarded.

it isnt just yalup that gets aggro, almost any spell will get aggro. During one fight where the mob was halfway dead, the tank asked my cleric to summon him some food, to keep his stamina up. Once i successfully cast Abundant Food, the mob aggroed me, even though i wasnt doing anything that would have hurt it, or helped my group in a great way. Another thing about Yalup: it raises your strength. More strength means you hit harder. Could that be why they aggroed you?

Clerics can and should be a melee. We are hybrids. We are also the last melee line of defense for the pure casters. I have done everything I can to ensure that my melee skills are as high as I can get them. This usually involves hours of just whacking at things. Boring work. But worth it.

A Battle Cleric can melee, keep the group healed, and watch out for the casters. I am usually in the thick of it assisting the tanks. When facing a casting MOB, I have my bash and stun ready to go when I see it start casting. And I have yet to completely lose a group. One may fall while my CH is going off, but that is part of the chance with CH. And, I have the other heal casters assisting..AS they should be. The other part about being a good Battle Cleric...is knowing when to melee. Hey, everyone is good on health, mana is good, and the MOB is low on health, why not get in a few good hits, why waste the mana to drop it when you can melee finish it, Celestial heal the tanks, and have enough mana to pull again.

Again, it is all a matter of preference. I like being able to melee and help out with the 40pts of damage I do. And, as I gain lvls and better spells/equipment, I can do a better job. The high end Yaulp, combined with the Hammer of Judgement and good base AGI, makes us a contender. Don't agree...ask any of my brethen. and yes, I DO know when to just sit there, cast my heals, med up...and fashion arrows between casts. hehe.

Well said all. The fact of the matter is, when we pull agro from heals, and some or all of the mobs agro us, we have 3 choices while waiting for our trusty tanks to regain agro.

1) We can smack the mobs back,
2) We can stand there trying to cast Atone through the interrupts, or
3) We can run in circles screaming like girls...

That's why I always choose number 3. No wait! I meant 1! I always choose 1!

Actually, you forgot the best cleric options for when you get aggro:

4) cast divine aura or barrier, and hope someone can grab aggro before it drops.

5) if its not a hard hitting mob, root it and back away.

Honestly, if its such a wimpy mob that even a well equipped cleric can tank it, then you probably are in too easy a zone.

I thought cleric pets were the worst until I saw this PoS as a drop on Vox. Not only would I not equip this to fill two slots that I could have wisdom, AC and mana items with, I would destroy it out of contempt for Verant. We have plate, but it wears like cloth for the purposes of getting hit. We HEAL, yet they give us a weapon that has no other purpose but to cause damage to a mob. Who had their head up their **** in the programming section when they created this anamoly?!

I have grouped with a very SMALL number of what I like to call BATTLE CLERICS, and I have to admit, I like them.
Instead of the usual, "I'm healing so-and-so, now I'm medding"... It's great to see the cleric dishing out some punishment as well.
Of course his taunt and damage are nowhere near as significant as the tanks in our group, and heals after the battle are a must, but a cleric who can fight and heal all at once... now THAT's playing the class!

A 45+ "Battle Cleric" is not a good thing for a group at that level. Some people call themselves that but it is more of a joke and they never really melee. The only time I ever would tolerate a main healer in the group dumping thier two held +wis/+AC/+resist items for this so they can take swings would be if they are at full mana, we are fighting easy mobs and nobody is needing a heal and they are doing it just for a laugh. It isn't good for the group for the cleric to waste tons of mana (mana not regened because they are not medding or healing) to swing a weapon when they will never hope to do a minor fraction of the damage that a tank will do. This goes also for 'chanters, Druids, mages, wizzies, Necros, etc.

I have grown to accept that as a high level Druid, the only use I have for melee is goofing off but when the fighting gets serious against normal MOBs for exp, the weapons stay in the bag and I do my job weather it is healer, nuker, whatever. I med when not doing that job and avoid getting hit.
RE: so sad... (
# Nov 23 2002 at 1:24 PM Rating: Decent
If I am at 80 mana I pretty much feel free to do whatever the hell I want. I have my melee stats maxed (except 2HB) and my AC is better than most rangers.

I do damage at half the rate of the knight classes and against undead, my dawnfire proc makes me a better damage dealer than most melees.

I gotta say that my melee ability has saved my *** on numerous occassion and prevented total wipes cuz I could chain nuke knowing I could take at least 30 seconds of any amount of aggro via DA and DB and my combaat skills aer high enough to take hits for another 5 to 10 seconds (you gotta admit that a cleric who can keep just about ANY mob occupied for 30-40 seconds is a good thing.

Had to do a rebuttal:

Raiding ToV... last ones standing were a Monk, and "oom" Cleric, and the Monk died...
Cleric actually meleed the last couple hundred HPs the dragon had... medded, and rezzed everyone back.

Let's see... do you think this character was someone who decided melee was worthless and didn't train it? I don't think so... My Enchanter currently fights anything that he can handle... and at lvl 12, I can see a significant boost in my AC than some other casters who are too afraid to get hit at all!

A Cleric is OBVIOUSLY not gonna be the main tank in a group, but it's important, as well as impressive to raise ALL your characters abilities, as you never know when they might come in handy.

RE: Shaman is not a
# Sep 28 2001 at 5:56 PM Rating: Default
Shaman can do exactly the same melee damage as any else of the pure casters, which is kinda crappy compared to their spells. Since they don't have dual wield, double attack or any other of the melee skills they will do as much damage as a chanter if they have the same ratio on their weapons. With that in mind, shamans are pure casters.
What a Joke
# Jun 12 2001 at 8:49 AM Rating: Default
Make a weapon drop off a dragon that is awsome for somone that melees stuff but make it cleric only. What a joke. If I could get 8K for it I would sell it right away but I can't imagine what Cleric is going to want to get this. No stats so basicly, in order to weald this, the cleric has to put away all their held items. I wouldn't bother to carry around a 7.3WT weapon I didn't need.

If Verant wants Clerics and Druids to use a 2hb weapon at higer levels, they should put some awsome stats on the ones that they could get. Add in about +10WIS as well as some resists and some AC, you would have something that might get people to trade out their CGS and Paw or whatever.

Okay, now people, I have never played a cleric, but I do know what it is like to group with them. I will only speak of what i know. I wish some other people that post here shared the same policy.

At any rate, clerics should not melee. They are needed far too much as a healer and how effective will they be if they are getting beat on??? Can you say "Interrupt"? If there is more than one cleric in the group, which happens occassionally, the secondary cleric (usually the one that is lower level) chain stuns and occassionally tosses a DD, but ALWAYS saves back mana for emergency heals.

If clerics are busy meleeing during a fight, the whole party is in danger. Even if the mob is turned and trying to run, the cleric should be healing the party and medding before the next pull. Not to mention, 9 times out of 10, if the cleric goes down EVERYONE goes down. DUH!

I have kicked many a cleric out of groups for meleeing when there are other things they should be doing... uhm... like... PLAYING A CLERIC. A cleric is one of the most important members of the group and it is imperative to the survival of the group that they play their character correctly. Good clerics are so hard to come by.

And to the bard that has been posting, you are an IDIOT!

If the cleric is getting beat on then the tank isn't doing his job. Tank holds aggro, cleric keeps tank alive. I can understand kicking the cleric if he doesn't heal, but if he's keeping everybody alive he can melee if he likes in my book.

I agree whole heartedly, if you wanna mele make a warrior/monk/rogue/ranger ect. If your playing a cleric do your job sit/med/heal/stun or dd every now and then. A cleric acting a fool thinking they are a tank will get a group killed faster then anything else. Not to metion the agro's you already get healing, now yah wanna add mele agro into the mix also? A mele'n cleric=dead group, unless the mob is little or it is every once in a while for giggle's.

A cleric who doesnt get hit is a worthless cleric. A cleric should get aggro at times. a cleric should keep their melee skills up, regardless. If you melee and get hit, your Defensive skills go up as well, which are directly proportional to AC. Thank you.

Every item that a cleric can use doesn't have to have wis on it. Unless you are a twink. My cleric melees when I'm FM or close, nothing wrong with it as long as you keep an eye on the rest of the party and sit when you need to.
As for mobs beating on you, root and back off, fairly easy, then just med till the tank gets over to take care of it.

RE: cleric melee
# May 20 2001 at 2:41 PM Rating: Default
The only reason this weapon is useless for a cleric is this. No ac, no wisdom, no mana, no stat bonuses what so ever. Clerics need wisdom/mana and ac. We are not hybrid warriors as we never get more then one attack. I hate it when people say to give up all your ac for wis and vice versa. This hammer means giving up a shield or mana item for your secondary hand and anything in your primary that may help with mana or other stats as well. A bad choice for a cleric weapon in my opinion. Unless you twink a low level cleric with it since at lower levels (20 or less) the combat abilities are not so hugely different.
