New Sauce on Cleric, Shaman & Disciple

[canardvc]

Does the Disciple heals by hitting his opponents ? Or when he heals he is not hitting anyone ?

I think both are true but heals are not chain-able abilities. That's what I understand from Talisker's intervention.

Oh well wait and see, i'm tired to speculate

Well, I think it's fun to speculate... Still:

I have 4 attacks that can be chained together in a variety of ways. 1 attack is a small HoT on my defensive target. When I use this attack at the end of a chain it becomes a large instant heal. This is of course supplimental to my standard heals - but the point is that I can do some 'ok' healing while kicking NPC buttocks.

Disciples will have run-of-the-mill direct healing spells. Incidental healing generated by their attack chains and the powerful debuffs from their counter-attacks seems to be their incentive to melee despite light armor and (probably) high aggro-generation.

Basically to play a disciple well you will have to become the kind of dumb, meeleing, aggro-whore healer that most games punish. I couldn't love it more, honestly.

One word, err, smiley:

Seems to me like Desciples will heal FROM their martial prowess, sort of like hit hit heal in a chain and have those heals be better or maybe less costly than a normal heal. Clerics seem to be the type to strap on decent armor a mace and crack some skulls and drop heals when needed, it's not that healing and fighting aren't things clerics do, they seem to do them seperately, disciples seem to have healing and fighting grouped together.
