Stackable buffs and group heals?

[Meshuggenah]

Clerics can but it requires melee and with no iwt makes it hard to do melee characters. Speciallly with all the movment needed in experts.hots and dots stack just hot and shield procs from same item but diffrent peopple however do not.

Chloro are main healers they can heal an expert solo so ofcourse their damage isn't very high I think I pull 250 dps on my chloro.

I really liked the look of Chloro on paper, but the fact that some of their heals don't stack really put me off. Same reason I didn't go for a group with all Justicar secondaries. If Reparation stacked it would be awesome.

what do you mean some of their heals dont stack? they have 3 direct heals bloom flourish and one that heals for the max hp of the mage. all their other heals are done by the damage they do. Chloro can easily solo heal any expert i see clerics needing support from say a chloro/archon or a bard. chloro do not have hots so their is no issue there about stacking heals? also there isnt really much need for more the one chloro in a party unless you are avoiding boss mechanics and just trying to out heal the damage like the last boss in expert AP i run 2 chloros 1 cleric and a bard and just eat all the aoe damage and lazers. takes 5 min to kill him but its much easier then trying to dance all the characters. And all the heals from the 2 chloros heal the group just fine. What i do is put sythesis from one chloro on the tank and the other chloros sythsis on the first chloro. its crazy party healing.

Yeah, but the healing from Livegiving Veil doesn't stack with any other mage maintaining it. I suppose it would work fine the way you're doing it, but I want more burst healing for PvP and 4 Chloros would only be able to AoE heal themselves by chaining synthesis or casting the extremely expensive, long cast group heal. If you're going to run two primary healer specs, I don't see the point of wasting one of their primary healing talents because it doesn't stack. Might as well just run one Chloro and a Sentinel or Warden. Plus Chloro's are much squishier than Clerics.

I'll get by in PvE, but my group is built towards end-game PvP and Warfronts. I guess we'll have to see when I'm 50. Will be interesting to compare my group with Chloro's.

I've no idea why folks like multiple chloros for healing or claim they do absurd AoE heals. My bards at 21 could keep entire raids healed when the invasions hit. My chloros couldn't even keep their own damn pets up, let alone heal any of my other chloros worth a damn. Maybe I'm Doing It Wrong(tm), which is likely considering I'm a noob at Rift but I just didn't see chloros being anywhere near the massive group/raid healing that my bard/ranger cadence healing did.

[edit] I would love to be shown how to Do It Right(tm) with chloro synergy. They did have much better DPS (while the mana lasted anyway).

its cause ur lvl 22 im talking higher lvl bards stop scaling well about 35 and chloro pull way WAY a head Chloro are Main heals they are ment to solo a heal instances at 50 a bard is ment for support. the support role for a mage is archon or dom healing role is chloro.

My bards seemed way OP at lower levels. Like Cin said though, once they got around 35ish.. they started to suck at healing. I play my rogs as ranger/mm/bard hybrid now, and just farm with them. Rangers ground targeted AoE is insane!
