Yes, I know the class is nerfed almost into the ground and is literally a spec that is pointless. Yes, I know without serious R.A. love the spec won't be viable. Yes, I know i'm not exactly going to be a class people beat their doors down for, it's more an experiment and nothing more. With that said, i'm curious what the old build was for this class :

I have looked at it and it looks like the end spec will be something like 46 smite / 27 enhance / 8 rejuv. Was there a better spec for this in the long run? If I plan on leveling, where do I want my abilities to be?

According to http://genuapp.appspot.com/char/class/cleric.html, 46/27/8 is objectively worse than 44/30/8.

That being said, Smite Clerics absolutely need the instant heal to even have a chance to win a duel, which brings you to either 44/29/11 - 43/30/11 (one instant heal) or 44/21/23 (two instant heals, and 0 point remaining).

The thing you may not expect in RvR however is that pretty much everyone will have a way to interrupt you. DD charges on gloves / boots are very popular (this is coming from an Alchemist), and they ruin your DD capabilities (this is coming from a Thane).

Dude get in there & rock that ******. So what if they blow, whoevers rippin on a Smite Cleric wins the game in my book.

Played a Smiter on Uth 1.0 (Arzt was the Name)

23 Reju
33 Enhance
35 Smite

Had quite a good Time @AMG, but that was with NF RA´s... rr5 + MoFocus missing hurts maybe?

Tempted to try this myself. There are 10 character slots, and 9 characters I'd like to try on Uthgard... This leaves me with a spot to mess around with a Smite Cleric.

I mean, without going all 'lol4chanmeme' on me, what, objectively, is so bad about Smite Clerics as a caster class - taking it as a given that 'they don't heal/buff'?

I see that their range is 1350 and a wizard's is 1500... But they also have a shield and wear chainmail, so a little bit of give and take is to be expected, surely?

Low utility, lower range, lower damage. No caster RAs as far as I remember.

You don't gain much and you lose out on a bunch - better off playing a different class that is just better caster damage.

You can still do it if you want, I've considered it. Just not sure it's worthwhile.

no focus either

It is a shame what mythic had to do to the smite line.

It was perhaps a little 2 much, not sure why they needed to reduce range to 1350.

Alot of clerics back in the day were smite, and for good reason, they were pretty strong.
