Cleric specs?

[luxlunae]

Anyone have a suggestion for a nice ranged cleric spec that I can also take into dungeons (preferably without needing a tank specced toon?) I picked arbiter from the original "purposes" but seem to have broken that by diverting from the spec.

Either a custom mix or one of the purposes (I did not remember this feature from playing rift in 2011) would be fine, I'd just like something to follow while I learn the new class (when I got to 50 before all I played was a solo mage)

If you are looking for just ranged DPS you want to run a 61 Inquisitor spec ( http://forums.riftgame.com/game-discussions/rift-guides-strategies/class-guides/cleric-guides/359450-ahovs-61-inquisitor-guide.html )

This is a bit intensive on the rotation since it has a 60 second cooldown worked into the middle of the rotation but it is the best a cleric will get at ranged.

If you want to eliminate the tank you could try multiple druid's with tank pets but I doubt that would be successful.

I have 5 clerics at 60, and I have found that a bound-fate PvP spec is almost as high, and with better crit, can actually RNG higher than inquisitor DPS. Especially on things like trash, where they dont live long enough to make the dots worth it. What's the rotation with inq that I am missing?

I thought ebony said he was running the instances with five dps specced clerics rather than a tank, but I think one of the souls they were specced into was a bit of healing. I rolled clerics rather than a mixed group because the blessed simplicity of running such a homogeneous group appealed to me (I learned to wow multibox with four boomkins five years ago, same principal).
