As an upcoming cleric raider, I'm curious about the health of top raiding guilds.
I pretty much intend to become the top cleric in all of Rift.
Now I was one of the top Shadow priests in WoW so I'm qualified enough to pass judgment on the healing in any game.
I've seen a lot of these raiding guilds videos, and they are littered with mistakes, even at the highest end of guilds.
So I'm very concerned that there really isn't any skilled hardcore raiding scene in this game.
In general, the biggest deficit appears to be cleric healers, who either seem to run arbatrarily random specs or fail at running the so-called 'bread and butter' specs. NOBODY appears to be running what is the best for bringing the biggest raid heals, which is
http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00...tf0zoM.Ez0o.-7 As you can see. Speccing into cabalist maximises your spell damage to increase the healing gains via reparation. Similar to Vampiric Embrace in the shadow priest tree. Talenting shadows touch will give you better reparation healing especially on bosses with adds.
Shared recovery as well. For focused quick healing on raid members.
I've looked at the senticar build you people have 'theory crafted' and realised that raid healers should NOT be wasting their short time and talent points on main tank healing. Healing invocation is a main tank healing ability correct? Similar to Greater Heal.
After a few simple tests
http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00...kEItdqz.E.V.-7 comes out on top for maximised healing gains. Crit bonus will be undeniably useless when you are trying to spec for spellpower gains when main tank healing.
People have to learn to use and understand my specs I have provided for the raiding scene.
