Warrior Priest is hard if you plan to actually be a team player. If you are selfish and only heal yoruself, the class is easy mode and overpowered. ![]()
But yes, if you want to focus ull on healing with only a rare throw down of damage, then roll a Rune Priest. At level 14 you will get yoru first group type heal. The wya you play a runepriest is to layer regen spells on your targets. It is like a Warcraft Restoration Druid in tree from. All regen spells.
Here's the deal. shaman are better at single target healing and DPS. They get a few group spells, but not many. Zealot can spec for full AE spells.
Zealot does not do well in damage. It's an illusion. you won't be getting many killing blows in scenerios. as a shaman you will.
A zealot is good at spreading out damage and heals across many targets. A zealot can cast mulitple HoTs on many different targets in half the time it takes a shaman to.
A Shaman can blast a person with a huge heal much better than a zealot. Im finding that zealots are not that great at burst healing unless you specific spec under the single target path. Shaman are on the other hand.
My suggestion. Roll shaman if you want to dish out more damage over. People get pissed off when tey see Zealots trying to DPS also. People ignore a shaman who DPS.
On a serious not now, the real reason Order is losing on certain servers is due to class makeup.
Destruction's heavy use of tanks is not the reaosn. tanks may be able to charge in and take tons of damage, but they aren't really killing much of anything. It's the Marauders.
Destruction has a ton of Marauders in ever battle, and those classes run right in beside the tanks and destroy all ranged DPS classes faster than the Witch Elves. Witch Hunter's are not enough to counter the berzerker technique of Marauders. Marauders get the job done faster and take much more damage then a Witch Hunter.
Order needs to roll more White Lions. I play a White Lion, and I konw for a fact my presence turns the tides of battles. On a typical battle with a few heals cast on me, I can take down 5 casters before I drop. Without heals, I usually take down 2 casters. Lord forbid I have gone unnoticed in many many battles agait Destruction and have nearly killed full scores of the enemy before people decide to kill the annoying chick with the huge axe.
Order has fewer tanks, but we at least have 2 in every scenerio. 2 is all you need. We have plenty of Runepriest pouring heals on people, and plenty of ranged DPS. But there is nothing to stop the enemy ranged classes. This is where the White Lions come in.
People say their damage sucks and the pet is buggy. This is not true anymore. The pet is very repsonsive now, and the class relies on powerful short term dots for damage. Learn to have your pet attack your target and learn to land 1 or 2 positional attacks on a player and you will destroy as a White Lion. Did I forget to mention that they get an ability to leap 60 feet in the air and lond right on top of someone? Or that they get a free sprint which can be layered on top of the original sprint for triple the speed?
There's only 1 sucky thing about Order. Bright Wizards.
What that annoying squeaking noise? <HMPH!! HMPH!! HMPH!> Oh thats just a Bright Wizard casting spells and getting beat up.
Who is that guy who keeps losing health so fast? I keep pouring heals into him and he keeps getting hit. Oh that's just a Bright Wizard nuking himself to death.
Ugh who is that ugly ass chick on Destruction side with the horrible Dragonball Z hair? Oh wait that's a Bright Wizard.
I hate that class iwth a passion. Horrible 3d conceptualization of a really cool character idea.
There's only one open RvR/RP server that I know of. Chaos Waste, and it is Med/Med usually. I don't find any problems qeueing for scenerios ont hat server. I get into a battle within 15 minutes tops guarenteed.
Are you on the European servers? If that is the case then maybe the rules and way people play is different. But my current server is popping with Scenerios at the least.
As a general note, the populations of each server are spread thin right now between the different tiers. This mean less action all around. when more of the population hits tier 3 and 4, things will start to open up and feel likte week one again (when everyone was in one area fighting viciously ).
