need help to understand this?

[tobycr]

<DIV>I just have a question i am a 38 defiler and if our main attribute is warding and a cleric type is reactive heal.  Why does our ward break in 1 or 2 hits from 40+ mobs and a cleric can cast 2 reactive heals for the entire fight.  For me to stay on par with that I must chain heal or chain ward which makes me go through my power bar lightning fast.  By the way I have all adept 3 or master spells for wards and heals.  I love playing a defiler because I liked the play style (on paper).  But I must say they dont give us alot of "effective" things to use.  Half the spells we get with all the secondary effects are worthless, our slows dont improve at all from level 10-40 so far I mean what is that?  Does everyone really think wards are working as intended post patch now.  Because from what i noticed last night in RE i wont be using ward anymore then i was before patch its just a waste of power.  Please help me get a better understanding if I am mistaken on these issues.</DIV>

<DIV>the general concept of wards (having no AC, and lesser value than cleric/druids heals) is the problem after level 20 when ppl are getting their equipment. On NAKED tanks we are on par with other healers. Pitty i havent seen a naked tank tank except a lvl 3 in the isle of refugee..</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>the only thing is trolling the boards and posting day after day how much our stuff suxx, </DIV> <DIV>it works for the other classes too</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>unluckly its not the way i prefer to handle this, but it seems to be the only way SOE does recognize if you spam them </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
