Btw I'm not trying to whine or cry about anything,i play 2 hrs a day and not everyday so i really dont care. Just trying to bring some light into cleric pvp now,it used to be so much fun but now we've all been kinda forced to go vit and camp def and more than likely follow some autistic ea or wiz around and keep their ass alive while they act all mighty and op. And yes i realize a dd geared ep deals a lot of dmg,but the server has changed a lot. And honestly speaking, cleric vs any or most physical classes is BS right now. And i can name a looot of DD clerics (now maining other classes.) who would agree with me.
Not even gona read ALL of that, because you said "move backwards" and i read somewhere in there "cast". I can't move,i can't cast. Genies have a cooldown,and their cc doesnt. On top of that,any player who is good is smart enough not to die from shackle,even more so if they have infinite CC.
cleric vs any or most physical classes is BS right now.
If you can't follow Seby's instructions and win it means you're inept and playing wrong. You're one of the few classes with an actual chance against db, if you can live to the point where you're able to sog/sleep them your victory is guaranteed, also lol to your shackle opinionFrom the other persons perspective, sure. You're the one favored to win not the other way around
I don't mess with EA'sThey're not terrible, VS a DB every class is going to have a hard time, It's just how it is versus that class.I personally don't think their class uses enough chi for the skills they haveDragon Trap should be 1 spark, the pull should be 2 sparks, Umbral should be 1.5 Spark, and Sleep/Stun things should be 50 chi each.I feel like that would handicap the class a lot more and make them more chi-reliant so they don't lock a vit class for 10 minutes.
You're an ea,so i see your point on shackle. But it really doesn't help very much against a db. Try making a cleric,then fight a descent.geared Db. Also "survive long enough" once again if you can survive long enough to get a sog in,2 spark,reduce def,increase your crit,shackle,and atk+ w.e other sht you may have in mind,they have a lot of scapes,cc as well as genie,pots and retarded def.
tbh ep is one of classes that actually have chance vs db
Eps sir,the topic is about ep vs db.
