Anybody tried an all-cleric team?

PS,

Here's something I've been toying with. This is my new PvP build I call my, "Inquisitank"! Focusing on mobility and survivability.

4 clerics specced as - http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=10...Vgobxx0V.yox0o
1 cleric specced as - http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=10...x.Vgobxx0V.VVb

Here are the major things you'll lose compared to a standard PvE Inquisitor build:

- No fanaticism (though you could swap a point from corporal punishment if you think it's worth it, I don't)
- Roughly 20% less damage from vex and sanction heretic.
- No DPS armor buff (not an issue, as I'd use the endurance/armor buff in PvP, anyway)..
- Less passive buffs to DPS, as your secondary and tertiary souls are focused mostly on survivability

Here's what you gain.

- No fewer than 5 ranged, instant cast life nukes (to build convictions) on relatively short cooldowns as well as your depravity proc. Really nice mobile single target damage.
- Shards of light is an awesome filler for when your depravity hasn't procced
- A significant amount block, via spellpower, plus an extra 15% from precept, when you're in melee range
- The option to toggle any of your clerics that get focused into Mein of Leadership (huge armor/hp buff)

And here's what makes the build. Absolutely huge damage mitigation. 15% passive from shield of faith plus 11% from protect the flock and reinforce (both of which proc from reparation and DoL, which means they should have 100% uptime since all your nukes are instant). PvP gear caps at 30% player reduction. So, with gear, you will have a combined total of 46% reduced damage from all sources before any armor or resists. Plus a decent block rating vs rogues/warriors, plus bonus armor/endurance from Justicar and the Inquisitor buff.


It's a very simple spec to run, which makes it even better for PvP. You can run the whole thing with 4 hotkeys (plus your standard follow, assist and utility stuff, obviously)

Key 1 -

Create a keymap for your "Spam" key. Step one calling excommunication on "pressed or released" and a 6 second round-robin Step two calling the following macro.

#show Sanction Heretic
cast Precept of Refuge
cast Sovereignty
cast Sanction Heretic
cast Life's Vengeance
cast Bolt of Radiance
cast Shards of Light

Key 2 - Bolt of Depravity

key 3 - Vex

Key 4 - Doctrine of Loyalty

Enjoy!
