No way. Disciple is out unless Monk gets in I'll give you dollars to donuts. Monk specialization will be Monk (DPS/Eavasion Tank)/Disciple (DPS/Heal). That's an EQ Healer withplate.

No. No. NO. NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo........ (<- tiny O's not periods. Need a 4k monitor to see)

Lore should be relevant. I'm not disagreeing that this is the status quo, but I am saying this is one huge area that MMORPGS can actually improve on - making lore that matters.
To me the only way to make lore that matters is to have it all start as relatively neutral and then have players actions mold who hates who and who are allies. Just a written in stone novella shoe horned into a game just means nothing to me.

On the cleric update, VG had multiple spec for the cleric too, and one of them had melee attacks so I expect it to be similar, not like the disciple(well not entirely, the melee cleric also had "hit shit and heal everything around" kind of moves iirc). The caster cleric might be similar to blood mage but I don't know, could just be traditional "stand in the back and heal" healer instead. Shaman could have blood mage mechanics instead, nature based as I said in my last post on the subject, basically think Rift's Chloromancer which was similar to blood mage, would work fine with a shaman. Or if you want it to be animalistic, Shaman of the Bat, dat vampire bird shaman. Do hope blood mage mechanics end up on something though. It'd be a real shame if they didn't implement this. I guess necro as a wizard spec could also be a blood mage-like healer, just with pets.

Still think they need to add that low end tier that gets digital download plus 30 days, others have suggested. Say $22.50. Want to get people who have never used kickstarter to create an account and get into the system. Thus allowing them to easily move up tiers if they want.

Granted, a lot of their Lore is foreign to me, and some of their English made no fucking sense on a basic comprehension level, but....

Class: Cleric.

Role: Healer, Support.

Clerics focus on healing allies, bolstering allies with beneficial spells, dealing damage to their enemies through melee combat or faith magic, and can manifest astral sentries.

The Cleric is a battle-ready priest devoted to spreading the influence and faith of their pantheon throughout Terminus. Armed with weapons and abilities of divine might, the cleric performs benevolent deeds on behalf of those in need, particularly keeping allies from the clutches of death. There are many lawful deities from the various planes in Terminus, but the Cleric's prayer books are normally scribed with the writings of ancient rites and blessings from the spirit through which they're bound. While the message of their faith may change depending on the deity they follow, the deliverance of that message is found in healing or reviving fallen brethren, cleansing the undead, and the capacity to bring devastating ruin to their foes.

On rare occasions, Clerics of true devotion have even been capable of manifesting their faith in the form of astral Paladins that fight by their side.

Specializations:

Battle Cleric: A defensive specialist wearing full plate armor and wielding blunt weapons and shields, Battle Clerics engage in direct combat with their enemies and heal from the front lines.

The Battle Cleric stands toe-to-toe against their enemy in armed combat, blessing the comrades at their side and casting spells granted through divine favor. They are defensive specialists, accustomed to heavy plate armor and the rigors of front-line combat. Battle Clerics are usually seen with mace, scepter, or flail in one hand, and a shield in the other, though some Clerics have been know to prefer the more reckless approach of two-handed hammers capable of delivering heavy damage.


Curate: Wearing robes, Curates rely on distance and offense to keep their enemies at bay, channeling the faith energy of their chosen pantheons to keep their comrades alive.

There have been cases where the Cleric would focus their efforts more on their spiritual and divine blessings, thus rejecting the armor and heavy weaponry of the Battle Cleric in favor of wielding magical forces for offense and defense. In these cases, the Curate has been known to wear bright, radiant robes and wielding two-handed staves, or more often a magical scepter in one hand, with a tome of their God at the ready in the other. The lack of heavy armor makes them more susceptible in combat, but is balanced by increased mobility, allowing them to dodge the advances of their enemies to find safety from behind the front lines, where they channel divine energies into spells of blessing or devastation.

"Hey we need to expand on the class reveals, they want more detailed info, so plug in some of the shit we talked about. Write up the Crusader reveal this morning, then unfuck the other two. xoxo Brad"

That is exactly what happened and that is why the Crusader one is substantially better than the other two.
