All 20 person raids need both cleric and Mage healers. In 10s, a Mage solo heal is a bit preferable to cleric solo heal, but I think having 2 Mage heals is (situationally) less useful than 2 cleric heals. Also, clerics have more options for healing.

Look at this guy talking out of his rear end. Don't listen to him, he hasn't played since they fixed chloros.

Hutzpah posted:

So is that a "chloro is the best healer bar none"? Or a "cleric end-game heals are worth while"?

Both are good in both raid settings, almost equal. A well geared cleric can (solo+support) heal a 10 man, a well geared mage can (solo+support) heal a 10 man. Assuming the tank (or raid if it's raid damage) is equally well geared. That being said, a chloro is a more constant healer and a cleric tends to be a reactive healer. That makes Chloros on tanks a good thing while being supported by clerics.

Why do you say that? I messed around with BM when Storm Legion launched and liked it but the lack of AE while leveling kinda stunk so I switched to the standard warlord build and have continued using that since I came back to check out the F2P. I was under the impression BM was pretty underwhelming in general compared to other souls though.

Because of:

BM is for raiding. It doesn't really have any use outside of that.

That. Apparently GA has some extremely tight DPS checks and one way you can maximize them is having a BM and a DPS Archon (a DPS archon that can pull 10-12K+ DPS).

I have my BM build setup but I need some practice with the actual rotation. If we can run some x spurts I should be good to go after 2-3. Is the gear the same? IE CP > everything?

Someone else can verify but yes, your primary concern is buffing the raid and debuffing the boss but other than that you're doing a DPS rotation.

This is second hand information, Amory was talking directly to them but:
- They didn't want to move shards because they are pubbies.
- They had a person or two leave because the guild did not want to do sign ups.
- They are no longer using sign ups and will invite on a whim. (So I am guessing that maybe 3 or 4 of us will get into the raids, the ones that can fill important spots like MT/OT and Heals)
- They may stop doing 20 mans altogether.

That energizer guide is very well written. I made the spec on my level 60 cleric (Since i am desperate for a non-pet solo'ing spec) and wasn't that impressed with it, but it might do very well at low-mid levels. You will definitely want to try some different things once you reach the storm legion areas.

Once you have gear 60shaman/16justicar wrecks everything so fast that it's almost too fast. You essentially follow a regular 61 shaman build but use even justice/reckoning as your non-physical attacks.

Here's a guide I found:


That's the maximum DPS point spread, you may need to spec into Purging Flames or Mental Flare, if that case take the points out of Vital Assistance.

The aim is to use the Archon buff abilities on cooldown, as well as Countdown and as many Flame Bolts as possible. Fireball as filler. You can use Heatwave to reset the cooldown on Lava Field for back-to-back casts. Use Internalize Charge for max dps and Power Drain for big hits.

Use Pyromancer Crystal, the 2pc bonus to Countdown is better than the extra 40 SP from the Archon one.

Useful Macros:

Purges/Cleanses in an AoE around the target
#show Cleansing Flames
suppressmacrofailures
cast @gtae Cleansing Flames

Casts Lava Field around target
#show Lava Field
suppressmacrofailures
cast @gtae Lava Field

Cast Lava Field on yourself without swapping targets
#show Lava Field
suppressmacrofailures
tar @self
cast @gtae Lava Field
targetlasttarget

1 Button Spam (this assumes you will use Flame Bolt and Countdown manually, if you don't/can't do that then put them above Fireball and below Earthen Barrage.)
#show Fireball
suppressmacrofailures
cast Spark Shower
cast Volcanic Bomb
cast Earthen Barrage
cast Fireball
cast Countdown
cast Flame Bolt
cast Searing Vitality

To my knowledge, Clerics have never been so bad off that they're just outright sat (except amongst world-first chasers, maybe?), so I would not be horrifically worried.

Clerics have been the lowest ranged DPS since SL launch (and since forever before that). If history is any indicator right after a cleric buff that brings them within 5% of other classes the other classes get a further buff and quickly peel away from cleric.

There are two big rare tracking addons but the name escapes me, pretty sure I use one called "Rare Tracker", for artifacts I am fairly certain there is none that works 100%.

For resource nodes I use Resource Tracker which is pretty nice to know what's around you without having to hover on the mini-map, there's another addon called tomtom that gives you a "dumb" waypoint system for resource tracker and rare tracker, although I haven't used it.
