Are friars any good on this server? Since they dnt have the healing procs and styles. Are they still good in PVE? How about in RvR?

Since I dont have a lot of free time, I want to be sure on the class I choose. Everyone's feedback will be greatly appreciated.

due to selfbuff and craftable pots, friars are quite good here solo and in grp. and their buffs are needed also. but sometimes grps might choose a cleri to be better than ur friar,bc ur heals are not that good. just live with that.

Danger , get 34 rejuv 34 staff 45 enhance.. best specc -> dmg is nearly the same as 39/44 , yellow hot , better baseheal than cleric(!) , more dex... with right RAs (mcl1 seren2 mohealing maybe) friar can be pretty good healer, but still can do good damage

i know that. but most ppl spec more enhance+staff for better styles etc. there are many ways to play each char on daoc.

you need friar in a group. you need resists. and your heal are nice and you ll resist longer than a cleric. and if ever an enemy wanna try to kill you , you bring him away from his group and kill him.

cleric is nice, friar is different, you need both.

and you'll level easily. friar is the best char you could choose on alb for your first char.

Thanks for the reply guys. I have already started my friar, he's level 7 lol. Is there a list of spells and styles that is currently supported on this server?

should be at least 90% correct.

friar suxx here, u are only a filler.

problem with friar is to form a decent grp with friar in it cause his dmg is looow and his heals are bad .. and the resist aren`t needed .. there are nearly no nukers on uthgard in hib/mid ... so give a ****** about the resists if there`s a nuker in the enemy grp just rupt him ... imo a decent grp dont need a friar


but if u wanna play friar dont do it whithout the red resists .. its the only thing a friar got to get invited in a grp

friars heal very well in a group. sure clerics have instants and more powerfull heals, but they will be under attack everytime so they have no other way to heal than using high healing spells and so will be quickly oom. for the buffs, anyway you need bases so friar or cleric is the same and you get resists in bonus. and friars have nice RA too that are different from cleric's ones.

so i still think in a group cleric(buff)+cleric(heal)+ friar (heal) is a very nice thing

if you want friar for heals you can as well group 3rd cleric. Friar has some nice utility, and only with friar (or 3rd cleric) you can actually use af buffs but still, another dmg dealer would be prefered. This is based on my experience. I have 50 friar myself, and I use him jus for crafting atm, I have heal spec.

oh and you DON'T have better major heal

With aug dex , and other decent Ras friar can be very good in group. and why do you all complain about damage , get 5.5 staff and its fine °°

get a merc and u will deal mor dmg just like that and af buff u can use via charge and int via charge too .. so no need to take a friar for buffs

in our setup with a friar we get red buffs, red resists, nice heals and 30 sec of nice dammage for 30 sec every 3 mins...

you think pala is needed in group i am sure friar is better.

that depend the setup , that's sure.

you don't have better major heal, but it's not wore. and the difference is that you'll tank better, can kill an enemy if only one wanna rupt you and your RA are different and very nice too.

sure DI is nice, BOF too but if you get one friar RA will be different. ST is great, RR5 too...

cleric and friar are different , and i prefer 2 cleric and friar than 3 clerics. but everybody play daoc differently and it's well known that i miss skills

Is the heal over time spell of the friar castable in combat?
