Aion what is the difference between cleric and chanter

If you don't know, just pop it every time the CD runs out like Vantheria. Unfortunately, I would not recommend the chanter class if you intend to play as a full-time healer. As some of the responses in this thread imply, chanters are no longer the "support class" they were many years ago thanks to the Aion 4. They are more accurately described as a "burst-supporting utility class" that shares similar roles to templars and songweavers. We have amazing shields, group buffs, single-target burst-heals, and the best physical crowd control in the game.

I went into more detail in another thread regarding the flaws of being a one-trick pony for this class, but generally speaking, both full-time support chanters and full-time dps chanters fall into the trap of using only a subset of their skills instead of being flexible enough to use all of them. It's like a ranger who doesn't know how to use traps or an SM who can't fear.

This does, indeed, make it better. Most of us do not have RNG that lucky. Good for you that you do though. I thought the same thing, Vantheria-DN.

The OP asked why they aren't being considered as a main healer, the role they wish to play as a chanter. Most of the posters myself included went out of their way to talk about how great a class chanters are and what role they actually do play.

The OP went out of their way to try and debunk the reasons we all gave as to why groups are not taking them as a main healer to the point of ridiculousness. My armor like a songweaver's has HB built into it.

I have several hefty AOE heals that also give a second effect groups dispel, decrease cast time on future heals, a hefty HOT. I can instant cast group dispel. I can instant cast single target dispel with no cd. My cast time is not slow and I have zero idea where this idea is coming from, though it's been said twice now.

A chanter just can't compete with all of that for the harder instances. They just can't. They aren't clerics. Wanting to be one is what is causing the OP concern. Chanters are awesome when you look at them as chanters! I usually run with a wonderful support chanter. He knows when to step in with support heals. He knows when to pop his shields and extra buffs. He knows when I have it handled and jumps right in to dps.

He doesn't complain about being asked to go support. When he does go dps, he still watches what's going on and tosses a heal when needed and resses.

He makes all our groups better. He makes me a better cleric and he makes all the pure dps better dps. That's why we have smart macros now. As a casual healer you don't have wear a Healing Boost set all the time. That will never be a real problem for support chanters. I don't even bother farming new healing sets. Still use my Kahrun one that gives more Healing Boost than any Songweaver's support set. The truth is: A chanter cannot stand alone as a Group-wide healer, neither songweavers can.

Yet, they're never meant to be one. Also they're not supposed to be a minor cleric or a crappy cleric like you said. They're more buffers than healers. Aly shouted at me for using my Kahrun set in BoS. Which was the point of the all the answers to the OP. The OP is wondering why no one wants to take them as the main, group-wide healer.

I absolutely did. Your HP was fine but you died the moment a mob so much as looked at you. It looked good, but it is far too outdated to work as any sort of set in BoS. But the gloves gives Attack Speed. That's why I will stick in my Kahrun til the end of this game. It never get out of style and still useful. I don't know about the chanters ya'll be going with.

But I still heal in an IO set with apollon cast speed gloves. And I get about 26k HP and heal boost. I don't have problems surviving cuz chanter with shields , and in fact clerics usually die before I do. Clerics are the battery that keep the group running, chanters are the glue to keep the group together.

At least that's how I see it. I prefer not to have to hold a cleric's hand in an instance and lemme do my job s. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment.

Maybe not a hybrid in the normal debate from other games enter WoW , but a hybrid nonetheless in terms of playing dual roles and having flexibility. Toque said,. September 3, at am. I was the main healer in my groups in WoW and I enjoy standing back and ensuring the group stays alive. However, I was a Druid healer, so I was a hybrid that could survive solo very well and I did solo a lot. So then I was thinking I should go Chanter for survivability.

How is the Cleric solo? Can they hold their own? I hope to have time to level one of each a bit in the OB to make my final decision, but I guess in the end I could always just roll one of each, right? One as my main, and one as an alt. Yesterday I was positive I was going to be a Cleric. Then I read this article. September 4, at am. Heheh, sorry to make it more difficult for you. As for solo, a cleric can solo. I was playing most of the closed betas solo. But I read up more on others and they were all complaining of the same thing so… Guess the grass is greener on the other side?

Someone in the legion during closed betas was playing a chanter and bragging about how he never had any downtime and he could 2 man elites etc etc. While I was chugging along, killing a mob, hitting my , comma for resting to regain MP waiting while it filled up, standing up, killing another mob, rinse repeat.

I imagine it will be even easier when I get higher and that instant heal is learned. September 25, at am. Loving the new pew pew spells. Beta was a bit rough because I think that I forgot to change the spells ….

It's the only thing. User Info: Gevauden. Chanters are cool they can do everything and it's fun to watch them attack suff with that twirlling rod, they get soo many buff it's insane there really good at pvp.

User Info: seekere. User Info: bjmage The buffs are good. And the fact that they have so many for so many different situations, they'll always be needed. People who say they blow are morons or MMO newbs. They aren't main healers, so healing kinda stinks, though they have decent HoT spells. And DPS is decent but not amazing.

They are a hybrid class for sure, so your main role will be support, off-healing, buffing and dealing damage when you can. User Info: foodeater4. If you guys wanna make all your own groupds Id think cleric is the best way to go. DPS are easiest to find in these games.
